Build & Price Updated: Auto No Longer Free For Mid-Level Trim + Other Changes

[PecOBX]

So this is the real price of the 2.7 upgrade from manual ?

And I recall another thread on this site that was a Q&A with their chief marketing guy and he made a specific comment that moving up to the 2.7L and 10 sp Auto for $1800 is a steal. Guess maybe they realized that and jacked up the price end that talk.

I'm super late to this party, but build and price numbers don't add up right now (and haven't really ever). Left is a base 2door with the 2.7L and auto transmission, right is the same with Sasquatch Package added.

The difference in options results in a total change of $7,385. And has been the case in the past, the line level breakdown of options hasn't quite added up to the pricing summary.

As many have pointed out, build and price has been funky and continues to be strange. Its not really a true ordering tool, so might not know actual pricing until order is placed with the dealer.

This may have been asked already but has the upgraded wheels for $995 on the 2dr BL always been available with the AT tires? Not sure if I remember that upgrading wheels automatically add the MT's.

Dude, what if the defender had a drop top still. I think a large number of us would slide right over. 4Runner suspension was too firm last time I rode one. Been a while though.

So I heard the TRD 4runner are a bit stiff (curious if as stiff as '20 discovery sport cause that was like being in barney rubbles car). I've yet to drive a 4runner but was thinking getting the trail edition and building up from there.

As for the defender I didn't test drive but I was at the dealer looking at them while my wife was shopping at a nearby store. First impression when sitting in it was "this thing is huge". The whole front end feels like a beast and is pretty wide. I'm not a fan of the interior, specifically how center console is set up. And the price, i mean I know "It's a LR" but all that means to me is low reliability so idk why the price on a base 110 is 50k (which realistically you can't find one for less than 58k). And if you want the bigger engine (LR known for trans issues due to under-powered engines) it starts at 62k which means realistically its hard to find one for less than 70k. So now we're at RR sport territory for a vehicle to go offroading with. It's out of the question. Just like paying $40,000 for a base Ford to offroad in is out of the question.

I actually make pretty good money and I'm still just shocked at the price of vehicles these days. We got my wife a brand new tiguan last year for 30k with cold weather package, huge front to back sunroof, apple car play, and a few other small extras. I feel like I'm missing something here.

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.

Nah, I think I'll continue to vent that we were misled for months on pricing. Normally I'm in your shoes but this is ridiculous and I'm pissed. For the base 4 door the auto was standard and included. Meaning, I had no reason to think the auto prove was overlooked. The 4 door was already about 4500 more than the 2 door.

Ill be happy to not complain if you send me the pricing difference of 1595 plus tax. I take Venmo and Zelle.

Toyota just gave us another reason to cross shop Toyota, the redesigned 2023 6th gen 4Runner would look nice hauling this.

Toyota Turned a Tacoma Pickup Bed Into an Overlanding Trailer for SEMA

Yea, i'm going to go out on a pretty thin tree limb here with the following:

• It's SEMA, you aren't getting that from Toyota
• The only thing creative about that build is that there is astro turf. Using a truck bed as a trailer is a time honored tradition going back to the 40's.
  • The overhead tent is there because it's SEMA, you have to show you spent more money than somebody thought was possible to do the pointless.
• Spending $20K to modify a truck bed so you don't spend $12K on a proper trailer doesn't seem particularly useful unless your goal was to burn through cash like a well-oiled cash-burning machine.

Edit: 30's cars also had custom trailers, but they didn't just use truck beds. I think they waited about 40 years to get the pattern for this trailer.

The only thing I know right now is that I am going to buy a Bronco. I had a 69 and an 80 and have wanted another since I sold the 80 in 1984. Specs are changing. Prices are changing. Timeframe is changing. Ford launched info too quick and Covid is probably playing havoc with their plans. I am trying to be patient. Started out reserving an OBX on 7-15. Quickly changed my mind to a BL and now considering a WT. Still no idea which color. When the dust settles and Ford gets their mess together sometime before March, I will change my reservation to Stephens and make a final decision. I should be on the 2021 list but it may be end of year. I just wish they would get the B&P correct so we all could make final decisions

Squatch requires the auto and the 4A T-case which are added to the $4995 price. There is a huge thread all about it in painful detail.

 

[Big Boss]

Just sitting here sipping my coffee since my OBX build didn't change a cent lol

joking aside, I do feel bad for the people whose builds went up

Reposting my reply from the other thread. The numbers seem off, but will have to to wait to hear from Ford as to what actual pricing will be.

Good Lord man, adjusting the price on a draft B&P is not sticking a finger up your ass. Drama Queen much?

Yeah! Some people would pay good money for that! Why would Ford give it away for free?!

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. That makes zero sense. Even at nearly $2500 cheaper than my original Badlands build I can't do it, that Fugly interior, I can't get past it. Both are Sasquatch, 2.7, auto high package and steel bumper and bashplate on the Wildtrak to make it the same as the Badlands.

What it essentially boils down to is that I don't want that ugly interior I have to pay and additional $2500 for the exact same optioned truck. Surely there is some kind of mistake in there somewhere?

Wildtrak isn't an upgrade from the Badlands. It's an upgrade from Outer Banks.

It's not the top of the line model. Badlands is the most equipped model. It makes sense that WT starts at a higher base price (with the 2.7 and Sas standard) but if you match everything you can Badlands still has more features in the end because it's the top.

That's why the price is higher.

That’s what you took away from his post?

Yes.

He said the price of the 2.7/trans changed and the Bronco reveal was half-baked (I'd go 7/8ths). Nothing new there.
