Because your not getting beadlock rims, your getting beadlock capable. You have to spend $1000 to upgrade to those rims then spend another $1250 (IIRC) to get the actual beadlocks. How much more do those rims cost Ford compared to the ones that are on it? Probably very little, aka a cash grab. I am not saying they are junk or that they look bad (they look very nice in my opinion). Ford is just making a crap ton of money off of people getting them.

My list was not meant to offend, it is just items that Ford is making a ton of money on and where you could probably do better aftermarket.

No offense taken, I'm on the fence about them because I want beadlocks but not Sasquatch

The best deal is a base two door with aux switches only or a first edition that you resell for 10s of thousands over sticker. But I ordered a base two door V6 auto with Sasquatch and switches.

Aux switches. It's literally the only option I added.

I agree on Aux Switches.
You can't even buy the sealed switches, fuses, relays, and wiring for the sell price from Ford, let alone spend the time to run the wiring and installing it all.

I also think Sasquatch- especially on the base model. It's one of two options I wanted on the base. The other was the V6. It's really good bang for the buck and quite a capable vehicle out of the box for 40K- if I could have only obtained one. At least I tried............

I think if you get a Base, Sasquatch is probably the best bang for your buck.

For me it's the 7-Speed. This thing is fun to drive
