I’m no expert, but I would think you’d have to also take into account the gear ratio if you don’t start off with the SAS to get the 4.70 so the cost could compound real quick.
Appreciate your review. Living in California (for now) I get a lot of sun and am counting on it shining. That said, for me personally may not be a big issue as my wife really wanted the Shadow Black. I might be one of those weirdos that falls into the category you described.
The color debate has been a really tough one for me like many others, but finally made the commitment and went with a AMB w/Roast Leather OBX w/SAS. I expect lots of sunny days to really highlight that blue!!!
That’s been my debate, but with the Roast vs. MGV. Turns out my builds were about $500 apart, so opted to “splurge” and ordered the Badlands in Cactus Gray with MGV.
I saw sport with the same setup and had the same opinion. When reviewing my build with the dealer yesterday I was like $500 off from a Badlands so switched my order and went with the black MGV. Problem solved lol.
I had a hell of a time figuring out trim levels because of the interior choices. It was between OBX and Badlands for me so here is the final order:
Badlands 4-door
Cactus Gray
Sasquatch package
Mic hardtop
Mid package
MGV Interior (I toddlers and a dog)
2.7 engine
Auto 10 speed
Engine block...
Given the difference in my build for SAS was $2,495 I took the easy way out. I get the gearing and "look" I prefer straight from the factory and I don't have to tinker around as I don't have a lot of extra time nowadays. I do find benefit in SAS features being captured in the overall warranty of...
I'm in the same agreement. I actually like the Roast, just had a hard time seeing it with Cactus Gray. Also agree on the Wildtrak, the interior was the only reason I didn't opt for that despite liking everything else about it.
Ordering my OBX later today and still debating on Cactus Gray. For those that went with GC did you pick Navy Pier or Roast? Honest input greatly appreciated.
