Stitched dash in ‘26 model year?

[rubber_ducky]

I all. My ‘26 2.3L, 7MT Badlands with lux and leather packages was delivered to my dealership a couple of days ago.
I was expecting that the interior trim
/accent color would be tan (via the lux package) and that the dash would have decorative stitching (via the leather package).
My salesman sent me a photo of the interior and the trim color is tan, but the dash doesn’t have the decorative stitching.
Does anyone know if this is a decontenting move by Ford or was it the 2.3L and/or 7MT spec that kept it off of my vehicle?
Any other ‘26 MY cars come with a stitched dashboard and if so, which of the previously mentioned options do you have that I don’t?

2026 Badlands dropped the stitched dash. I think it’s still in the OBX though.

that kind of sucks, I have the stitched dash in my 25 Badlands, pretty sure that it came with the leather package. I drove a 25 Badlands at Off Rodeo that was equipped almost the same as my Badlands except it did not have leather, it did not have the stitched dash. I am glad that mine has it, it adds a nice detail

Yea. I was hoping for it when I placed my order as the dash in my S550 is pretty nice. Maybe one day I’ll swap it out. But it’s a lot of work and stupid expensive.

Do you have leather or mgv seats? Wash out interior? I have mgv and w/o in my 7MT 25 badsas w/lux and no stitched dash. I always assumed that was due to the wash out interior.

Leather and lux, also 2dr/7spd...no stitched dash. Somewhat disappointing...

When Ford were equipping a stitched dash on badlands, it was with the leather package. But it seems that that’s not the case with ‘26 MY cars

I have a '24 Badlands High/Lux with the MGV/washout interior. It has the stitched dash.
