For everyone mentioning Carhartt, Filson has a C.C.F line that is meant to be a direct competitor to Carhartt, in price, look and function. It's worth checking out if you love Carhartt. Their heavy weight sweatshirts are pretty epic. I have several things from both C.C.F and Carhartt.
I'm from the North West and have always liked Filson. They were to the 1890's what Eddie Baure was to the 1990's, but they have stuck around. Their wool coats are something you buy for life, and something you can actually sell used for 100s of dollars - so the price can be justified. Their wool...
To be fair they are completely different segments of the outdoor clothing market. Filson is targeting loggers and dock workers (well their heritage is anyway, now they are going after that upland bird hunting Eddie Baure type.) Arc Teryx/Patagonia is backpacking and mountaineering. I love...
If I go Base I'll want to shop for aftermarket upgrades - bumpers for example - but I don't want anything crazy. Looking at the Jeep aftermarket scene all I see is fairly aggressive.
I don't want to be driving around in a Monster Energy drink promotional vehicle.
Anyway, I imagine anyone...
I don't see the point in having Sport, Normal and Eco modes. I'd either be in sport or eco.
It also, so far, looks like sport and baja are the same mode except for the 4H... so you can just put it in Baja then turn off 4H.... supposidly...
I'll probably go with a BL and get after market leather in a grey that matches the dash. looks like the yellow strip, which is annoying, can be dealt with by swapping out the grab handles.
I'll rock the MGV for a minute, but it's not an upholster I'd ever choose for anything other than a boat...
I'm sure it's the top of the vinyl pyramid, but I have no interest in it, especially in black. I've had it in boats, where it makes sense and worth the trade offs of comfort. It also doesn't hold up to dog claws.
I don't want the black "leather" either.
It's not a deal breaker, just...
Vinyl seats are fine. Just fine. I would NOT pay extra for them though.
I'll likely get the BL's and get aftermarket leather down the line. (I'm not interested in black leather.)
Also, while you won't have to worry about dog hair, your dog's claws will likely scratch up vinyl. I have high end...
If you order a popular trim from a dealer like granger you might get it. My guess it ford will do either the most popular trim and/or FE to start. Which is probably going to be Badlands. Badlands and FE being very similar helps this theory of them going off the line first. Build FE's and BL...
Fords current way of combining trims and packages is very complicated. It would be simpler if you could go a la carte. Every trim getting it's own (ugly) interior was a bold move and could have been awesome but then the designs were a complete flop.
I never would have thought that people would consider vinyl seats an "upgrade."
I also would have never thought to use sweat pants and digital camo as upholstery.
First Ford had the Eddie Bauer edition, now they have the Walmart edition.
I think OP is just pointing out that a person would have to make a $9,000 jump to get the M/T, mid package combo, ignoring all other value added with the BL.
OP wants a M/T & mid package, but doesn't want to have to jump up to a BL to get it.
