Hello, I'm new here and had a few questions before I placed an order. We finally think we've figured out what we want and can't find it in a '21 in the color combination we prefer. We were able to get an X-plan pin, but haven't given it to a dealer yet or let them know we have it. Any tips or suggestions about how to handle that, and will it actually lead to a better price or any priority? I've got a dealer already coming down some on an order and making it pretty attractive. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
We are looking at a Limited Max 4X2 with the following options:
-302A ($1705) - this package has the stuff we want an appears to be pretty reasonable on the '22's. Less than half the cost as on previous years
-Heavy Duty Trailer Tow ($795)- we don't "need" this, per se, but I think we want it. I say this because I seriously doubt we pull anything heavier than probably 5-6k pounds, and most often it will only be a 6x14 utility trailer with a total load in probably the 2k range. However, I like having the trailer brakes and the back up assist should be handy for my wife. I wish it still came with the larger radiator and the eLSD, but alas that was apparently only on '18-21's for the radiator and '18-20's for the eLSD. Most importantly, I really want the 3.73 gears. I've driven both 3.31 and 3.73's in the 4th gen and could feel the difference around town. I know. I would hope so, right? I understand there is some debate on the mileage penalty, but I am leaning pretty heavily this way as I am not convinced it will be much, and possibly not even noticeable, in my real world use.
-CCD w/ susp road preview ($995). Pretty sure we want this from what I have read on the here. The ones I have driven have all had CCD.
-Advanced Cargo Manager ($335). Considering this but figure it could be added later if we needed crossbars.
- we want captain's chairs, but looks like this is standard now on Limiteds
-think we are leaning toward staying with the smaller infotainment screen. I prefer needles on the dash, and the larger screen, no offense, just doesn't look like it fits. Understand we are giving up Sync 4A, dashcards, profiles, and the digital dash, but I think we are ok with that. Am I missing something I might regret with this?
-For that matter, anything else we are missing or should seriously consider? Auto Start-Stop Removal is a "Required Option". Will probably go after market for floor liners and cargo mat unless the Ford ones are exceptionally incredible or something. We live in the South, so don't think we need an engine block heater. My kids have tablets and I have never been wild about built in entertainment systems, especially not for the cost. What else are we missing?
Anyone share a decent price for something like the above? MSRP is $71,485 without Advanced Cargo Manager, $71,820 with it, and $72,615 with it and with the 15.5" screen.
Thanks in advance for the help. I feel like I've already learned a fair amount here, and am looking forward to being a part in the future.
