Im sold on the BD due to the upgraded bumpers, bash plate, and marine washout. Im also looking at adding the hardtop and V6. Need to see if the additional $$$ might move me into a Bad Lands.

I agree, I prefer the high package for the 12 inch and lux for the 10 speakers etc.. I do like the rubber flooring, marine vinyl seats, the extra steel plating and bumper and a few items that comes in BD. I'm still deciding, but I did reserve the BD for now until I can see what ford finalizes in the pricing and options arenaI wouldn’t mind the Black Diamond but I do prefer the option of getting the high or lux package on the OBX. For me, it’s a standard Automatic transmission so that was a big influencer for me. I also love the signature headlights lol.
You could also go with outer banks. It comes standard with mid and 10 speed auto. Has the ability to upgrade to Lux package also. Doesn’t have all the off road stuff, but would end up being less than BL unless you do the the Sasquatch also then could get a bit pricier than a standard BL. Depending on package pricing of course.I saw that too, presumably to force upgrades to a higher trim? If I could do lux on BD, I wouldn’t have to get a BL since I don’t truly need the sway disco or front locker. I’m hoping the original chart just wasn’t accurate, but I’m prepared to go with the Badlands if necessary. Creature comforts are important since this will be my DD and I’ll spend way more time on road than off.
So many questions, such a long time until “by September”
Yeah Outer Banks might be worth a look, I can’t wait for that build and price tool to figure all this out! Right now I’m leaning towards just keeping my truck and waiting for a redesign or Raptor version, but I also know as soon as I see someone driving one I’ll have didn’t-buy-it-remorse.You could also go with outer banks.

I Agree, but that's on the price mark up of about 3k. If u get mid package on BD you will have front heated seats and the same thing that mid package includes that OB has already, since its standard and calculated into the price. I do prefer the high package, but you get so much more with BS than OB that I might forego the high package just for that plus I still want the auto and 2.7 so that mark up to get to OB will cover those two items for me with BD.OB has but BD doesn’t
-signature lights
-body colored handles, mirrors, and flares
-option for high and lux package
-option for leather
-heated front seats
BDhas but OB doesn’t
-an extra goat mode
-steel bumpers (front and rear)
-bash plates
-rock rails
-aux switches
-vinyl interior with rubber floors
You can get the modular front bumper on the OB and it comes with a bash plate, but I’m not sure if it gives you a steel rear bumper as well. Aux switches are optional on the OB.
I am starting to lean towards Outerbanks with Sasquatch. I really wanted either Black Diamond or Badlands for the vinyl and washout interior but maybe pulling the carpet and neoprene seat covers in the Outbanks would suffice? So many questions until we can access the build and price tool and spend 15 hours reconfiguring packages.This is a tough choice. I will be getting an auto and the mid package for sure. If I had to guess, I’d say both of those cost around $1500 each, so adding those to the BD would essentially make it the same price as the OB.

Does the OBX have drain plugs? Pull the carpet, maybe do a spray on liner in it's place, but drain plugs would be extra handy to have still. I know when I sold Jeeps they were under the carpet on most.I am starting to lean towards Outerbanks with Sasquatch.
