Rethinking my whole order

[Rebel Bronc]

Now that B&P has allowed a sneak peak into what we can get, my thoughts are changing. I was originally thinking BD, but I really like fog lights, I have no interest in a winch, and someone said that they saw the steel bumper in person and were not impressed. And aftermarket floor mats and seat covers can help with the lack of vinyl and rubber. I’m going 4 door. So check this out:

Opt 1:
Big Bend manual, Sasquatch, tube steps (wife is 5’3”), MIC top, roof rails, signature lights, mid package, tow package, comes In about $47,500 MSRP.

Opt 2:
Outer Banks, auto, 2.7, rear locker, MIC top, roof rails, tow package. Mid, signature lights and tube steps are included already. $47,290 MSRP.

So for $200, I get what? Black mirror caps and Sasquatch? I was leaning manual transmission anyway. But if I HAD TO go auto, I would take the V-6.

Thoughts from my fellow pony riders?

And this goes in the trash since mid and stick are no bueno.

Since there was a wife mention... does she have any wants in this?

 

[FerkinBlonco]

Ikd about you, but I don't find color matched fenders on obx all that appealing... that, and it seems like you're getting a lot more with bb squach for $200 more ?‍

Yes I'm also curious how you got a price for both mid (on a BB) and squatch with the stick in the current B&P. Was it some sleuth work?

Also if you're comparing prices between trims why is one a Sasquatch and one not? If you really want to see the cost difference then go both with and both without and see what the four prices are.

 

[Rebel Bronc]

Yeah, she wants me to not spend a lot of money.

She tolerates my infatuation with all this. I ask her opinion about things...she wants tube steps, likes CG and A51, and thinks I should get the 4d for the space, even though our boys are grown.

How did you get to $47,290 on OB, or is that figuring in Grangers discount?

Go to B&P and choose Badlands. Once there, feel free to click+ on things like 2.7L, Squatch and Lux... then pick a color that you think you would both like.

Show her and thank me later. God speed.

The perfect combo is not in our reach on a budget. I'm hoping for Base-Man-Squatch, fully loaded Base with all the bells in whistles is in my range. BD stock is also there but its not a squatch. BB is also a great choice for manual and locker if you dont want vinyl. No matter how many times i build those three in multiple combos i always come back to Base-Man-Squatch

This was a 4d, with the 2.7, rear locker and 4.27 gearing, mic top and roof rack.

Edit: my bad, there is no tow package on this.

 

[Rebel Bronc]

Oh yeah, and she was saying how remote start might be worth giving up the 3rd pedal. Long winters here...

First of, it's not an order. Second, what are you going to do? You're comparing squatch with highway runner.

Never mind, my bad, I was looking at something else. Boy Ford sure puts those MSRP's within $1k-$2k of each other after options to make you bump up.

At the time, I thought it was possible to get a BadManSquatch with mid package, for the same price as a non squatched OBX. Most of my driving would be pavement, snow and logging roads, so an 18” AT with rear locker seems adequate...but riding around squatched just calls to me...
