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

[North7]

I have been looking into them .. I actually quite like the look of the new 4Runner TRD Pro - but all the reviews I've read mention how outdated the engine is, as well as the interior... and it sounds like the engine is not very fuel efficient compared to other similar options that are out these days.. so perhaps the 4Runner is not on the table right now (for me).

But with the age comes reliability since all the bugs are worked out.

You can probably blame the people that have been saying all along what a bargain they were getting. They might as well have said they're willing to pay more. Ford heard them and they got their wish.

Ah ha! So Ford is listening!

I dunno... I'm 50, and have more bugs as I get older...

Ford raised Bronco Sport prices as well. Wait for it...........$160.00.

2021 Ford F-150 package and Bronco Sport prices will creep up on December 23
Some Lincoln models are getting a little more expensive, too

Buyers in the market for a 2021 F-150 or a 2021 Bronco Sport will need to pay a little more after December 23, according to documents sent by Ford to its dealers. Both models were recently added to the Blue Oval's range.

Starting on Wednesday, the Bronco Sport will carry a base price of $28,315 once a mandatory $1,495 destination charge enters the equation, website CarsDirect reported. That's a $160 increase compared to the crossover's launch price. At the other end of the spectrum, the range-topping Badlands model will start at $34,315 after destination and the same increase. Ford hasn't commented on the report, or publicly announced the price hike.

Pricing for the 2021 F-150 will remain pegged at $30,635 after dealers add a $1,695 destination charge, but the same source learned Ford plans to increase the price of the Max Trailer Tow package, whose cost ranges from $1,235 to $1,750 depending on the trim level selected. CarsDirect noted the XLT's bundle, for example, will increase by 48%, from $1,350 to $1,995. Ordering the Max Trailer Tow package is certainly not mandatory, but it's strongly recommended for buyers who plan to tow because it adds a hitch receiver, a 36-gallon fuel tank, an integrated trailer brake controller, and Ford's Pro Trailer Backup Assist technology, among other features.

Over at Lincoln, the Corsair and the Aviator will cost $160 and $170 more, respectively. Ford told its dealers that the increases will keep both brands competitive and aggressively positioned. It doesn't sound like other models will go up in price before the end of 2020, and the Blue Oval recently made the Mustang Mach-E more affordable.

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 also thought that Mike Levine said something to the price of the 2.7l and 10 speed combo being correct on b&p.

funny thing is that I think the many Ford reps that were questioned about the power train combo said that it was correct on the b&p.



... funny.







... not in the haha way.

After a lot of thought, I think that they decoupled the most expensive items from the packages. Instead of being included they became "required" at extra cost....

Not only am I cross-shopping the 2021 4Runner Trail Edition, but also hoping 2023 4Runner info will come out prior to the Bronco order deadline.

The Sasquatch package on the Base is now $7,385 because they charge extra for the wheels and tires.

Not if you're getting a manual ?

I called Ford directly today, to find out if the B&P had bugs, or if this was a stealth price increase. I had low expectations with getting an answer, and was told the pricing had not increased. The rep walked through a B&P configuration, only to see the pricing summary increased by $1500. The rep was going to send an email to the B&P team to let them know. If prices are in fact changing, a communication update wouldn’t be too much to expect, would it!?!

I plan on calling daily to log a complaint - get the B&P updated or provide common courtesy and communicate if there was a pricing update.
