Two Door, Lux, Leather, I think are likely to be due to new model sales vs long term sales. Early sales are often much higher equipped, but longer term these sales rates will decline. Ford will be planning for the long term, can't ramp up for all leather then not be able to sell them a year or two later. Often they'll have a heavier high end mix for startup, but they can't flip too far and run off the suppliers for the other options.So I put together a list of potential reasons for the Six Deadliest list. I tried to identify things that are unique to each list item. Interested to see what the consensus is.
- Two‑Door - Webasto MIC Tops?
- Wildtrak™ Series - Sasquatch Pkg
- 2.7L Engine - Standard engine in the F150 and optional in other models. Currently not enough capacity to supply all and the F150 gets priority?
- Sasquatch™ Package - Goodyear Tires?
- Lux Equipment Group - Chip Shortage?
- Leather‑Trimmed Interior - Poor Quality as we have seen on the loose/wavy seats in Pre-Production vehicles
Sasquatch and 2.7L could likely be limited due to CAFE (corporate average fuel economy). 2.7L could be a factor of both CAFE and the need to make X number of each engine to keep the engine plants running at full capacity.
