B&P is not perfect, and neither is Ford. There will be mistakes, albiet some costly ones that may or may not sway people to cancel or completely walk away from the vehicle. I'm still ordering mine no matter what happens next ?.

I wonder though, Ford could have probably leveraged a handful of the more knowledgeable forum members, and caught many of the pricing/option errors in the B&P. I mean some better user acceptance testing before going live, people with knowledge and motivation banging away at the various builds, could have gone a ways at catching the errors earlier.

Here's a thought. Don't like the changes to B&P? Cancel your reservation. Pretty simple. Ford isn't forcing anyone to buy. You have every right not to purchase but PLEASE take your whine elsewhere.

I have no idea what to make of these top options. I’m also assuming any mod top puts you to the back of the line?

Can someone shed some light on this new top option. Can you get the top in any color or just gloss black?

The top options are listed. Black or body colored or MIC gray. If you order either of the 1st two you will be late availability

There surely must be a bug on the build and price between WildTrak and Badlands. Building them each with exactly the same options the Wildtrak is $2465 cheaper.

Nothing personal, I am just trying to squash another 'must be true because everyone posts this' item before it becomes inviolate Scripture.

The difference with the same options between a Bandlands and a Wildtrak (on both the 2 and 4 door) is NOT $2465 cheaper. People are forgetting to add the bash plates and bumper(s) to the Wildtrak to get them as close as you can in options. They only add to the BL to get to the WT. Optioning both so that they are as close as can be ends up as a
$1375 difference. For that difference, you get the MGV over the camo cloth, the sway bar disconnect, the washout floor. If you add the leather on the WT, which is probably closer to the MGV than the cloth, you are $800 better off in the BL.

It just depends on what you want if a hardtop, V6/Automatic is non-negotiable. If you don't want the upgraded bumper, the 'laugh at the rain' interior, non-cloth interior, or the heavier body armor from the factory, then the WT is a huge win for you as you are not paying for stuff you don't want. It is good to have choices.


Full disclosure; I am only here for the manual, if they did not offer it, I would be looking hard at more road biased SUV's. I don't need the capability of a BL, but as I am stuck with it to get the manual and any packages whatsoever, I will have fun with it. (also full disclosure, I don't rally the WRX, I don't loaf along all day at 155 MPH on the highway in the AMG, and I don't drag the footpegs around corners along the Dragon's Tail on the Indian either. All that unused capability...) Come to think of it, I don't really 'need' a hot wife with a firm backside, but here we are...

We knew that price was probably going to get fixed, AND there are real COVID supply-chain issues, but has the B&P team ever heard of a staging site? Build it, test internally, test it with select super-users, fix issues, repeat until debugged/errors caught, THEN release? This “fix” has just introduced more bugs and pricing errors.

Also, is the turret top on the MOD no longer a thing?

Yep! Only 8 months until I have to wait a couple more months!
