Same with the painted black hard top, this might be the reason I move up to the BL over the BD. I think the looks of the Gray hard top with the black flares and door handles doesn’t look right at all..

Black Diamond High Package

I wouldn't let go of the BD add ons just for the high package. I don't think it's a good trade off, plus to be able to get the exact things you would need to go up two models, which will cost you over 6K and that's still not including the high package pricing
Sort of. Badlands has enough off-road capability without Sasquatch package for me. If I was getting Black Diamond then I’d upgrade to Sasquatch which will cover much of the price difference between trims for me.

Not an electronics guy, but I think the standard BD has acc switches which should handle inverter?
I like the BD as it is with the SAS and the Mid but only wish there was a stand alone option of the larger screen which at this time is only available in the High package.

The thing that makes the BD appealing is it doesn't have all that extra crap on it.
I'm in the same situation. Wanted the BD for vinyl floor, rear locker and steel bumpers. I also want the heated steering wheel and 360 camera in the lux. I dont need the front locker, bilstein dampers, or advanced 4x4 of the BL.
Speaking of evil bean counters, limiting the garage door openers to the lux package was just cruel. I could understand it not being in the mid but leaving it out of the high as well?

That is one of the worst issues. Cheap sedans in the 20s come with a garage door opener, and we have to go all the way to lux for it? That one is baffling, especially when you can’t keep a mobile opener out in the open on an open air vehicle.

If you’re not going to be doing crazy off roaming just regular trails then for the items you want go with OB
That's kinda my point. I dont need all the badlands extras. I need a black diamond but with the lux package. The outer banks gives me the lux package but not the things I want from the black diamond other than front steel bumper, 17" wheels, and rear locker.

Short answer...NO, I would be surprised if the aux switches were 20A load, the only way to put an inverter that draws more (most of them, my 2500 watt one draws 140Amps when on the microwave) is to use a heavy duty battery relay tripped by an aux switch. If the inverter has a remote on/off you could use a aux switch in its place if they are not powered, or you have access to both sides of the switch.

We were told by a Ford engineer awhile back that the switches were fused with two of each at 15amp, 10amp, and 5amp.

Not even enough for a good air compressor, or a 200 watt inverter, I assume they expect you to use the 15 & 10 amp for lights, and the 5 amp as a relay trip for larger loads, no problem as I put all large load accessories on relays in any case to minimize switch arching or heating.
