So then why does mine have the “performance package” verbiage though? That’s still throwing me off. Yes it’s a 303a / price, but it still has the separate verbiage about the performance package.

Do you have dual exhaust tips?

It may have a part of the SPP as an appearance, but the extra goodies needed for the performance as giddy up and go, nope. But you always can add an aftermarket exhaust and throw a tune on it that makes more power than the SPP. Also your 8th digit in the VIN is a number not a letter,

It does not have the dual exhaust or any of the other aesthetics of the 304a package. Still perplexed as to what is being referred to on the window sticker. “Stealth performance package” was added for one reason or another additional to the 303a.

that’s what I thought. Like I said before it’s just the appearance pack and not the full SPP. Not sure why Ford made an extra line in the option description. I think your Expy is one of the first ones (2022), so they may rushed a couple of things trying to answer to GM SUV’s and also having a few cars and trucks that have something or other actually deleted and back credited (supply chain issues during COVID days). I think a lot of manufacturers had trouble specifically for model year 22 and 23.

It’s a 2023, but yeah who knows. I know there was a lot of odd things during supply chain constraints, so maybe it’s something to do with that. Was hoping for the chance it has the 440hp engine. May get it tuned anyways, but would have been nice to just have a little extra from the get-go. Thank you.
