I think I had a thread deleted where I ranted at Ford because not having MID Manual available makes it pointless to buy up a trim from Base. It's a 5k penalty yet you gain little, except access to more options that you still have to pay for.You can add rock rails to the base for $595 and the Sass'd base includes lockers.
So you're basically paying for the option of adding more packages - paying Ford for the opportunity to give them more money. What a terrific feature (that's my sarcastic voice).
If Ford's goal was to get Base people to abandon the Squatch (or move to a Sport) due to limited parts availability, and their strategy to achieve this was bumping the Sas price up, they're failing miserably. I think most people will just move from a higher trim down to a Base, and still get it Squatched.
From Base 2door :
Mid effectively costs you $8000 minimum.
Base to Big Bend $5000
Mid ................................$1500
Required auto .......$1600
I am literally trying to jump up to BB or BD , but the MID Manual exclusion makes it impossible. Short of the $50k Badlands, which I refuse to consider at that price point....I'd rather a decent, better equipped Crew F250 4x4 for 50k ....and I can still get X plan or better on that!!! LOL
