Hello everyone,
New to the 6G forum. Not new to forums or Ford vehicles.
Glad to be a part of the discussion on the future of this awesome vehicle. Just some general thoughts on why I went with the WT and things that I would love to see for MY22. (especially if I end up having to wait for a 22MY)
First, this will be the woman's daily driver. The daily commute into town is through mountain roads that are tight and steep, mostly pavement. Our driveway is pretty steep gravel, if I'm not home to plow right away after heavy snow I want her to be able to get up the driveway without issues. The majority of off-road use will be on Colorado Forest Service roads to and from trailheads. Will probably do some trips down to Utah and Nevada to get some higher speed Baja-style driving when time allows. Don't really plan on taking an almost 60k vehicle on serious rock crawling adventures. (Bless everyone on this forum who will really push the capabilities of this vehicle on their own dollar, Looking forward to seeing all of that action on here.)
Main reasons for WT over others,
I like the idea of having the widest wheelbase possible considering how much this vehicle will be on the pavement in the mountains. Sport mode is something I really enjoyed using on the gen 2 Raptor when driving on mountain roads. WT has this as an option and also includes BAJA mode which I see myself using much more often than Rock Crawl. From what I understand, WT is the only trim with both sport and Baja on the G.O.A.T modes. I'm hoping the sasquatch package will provide raptor-like performance. This trim level was much easier to convince the "final decision maker" that we need all this off-road equipment.
