MIC was always a $695 adder for the BL. In 21 you could only order the WT with the MIC so the price was included. Now the WT has a soft top for the base so this the adder for the MIC.
Oh, and you are also comparing 2021 2-door pricing to 2022 4-door pricing. So there's that.
Uhmmm maybe I’m missing something.... but both of your 2021 builds are 2 doors, and both 2022 builds are 4 doors. So that’s the reason for the big price jump.
Also would explain why you thought the hardtop price went from $0 to $695. The hardtop was never free for 4 doors. It has always been $695. However it is included as standard on the 2 door. Edit: forgot the Wildtrak hardtop debacle in this
Admittedly the Sasquatch for BL is definitely more, but I’m not sure you’re apples to apples. The picture on your Badlands build from last year (57,550) is a 2 door, the one on the one from this year (60,990) is a 4 door. Also hardtop was never free on BL.
For the WT, I think the increase from the top is is included in the 825, last year they didn’t actually offer a soft top (which is why the hard top was 0, this year they are, which is why the ht is showing as added cost. The WT sheets also appear to be 2 door on the right 4 on the left.
