no shadow black modular top for FE unless you wait for it like every other build

Yeah, who knows how Ford time stamped those second 3500 with all the website errors on launch night. Since the FE really isn't that unique I can see FORD building them all first as one way to justify the increase in price.

not really since the FE sold out shortly after the reservations opened on the first night

I think the 1300lb payload is for the base model, but I think the Badlands 2.7 Sas will have a greater than 6k GVWR so it won't be absolutely horrible, but will require careful planning for an overland build. If you add weight from the factory or after doesn't really change anything other than...

Nobody knows for sure until Ford publishes exact GVWR for each model, but I would be very surprised if a fully loaded 4 door Badlands or FE wasn't over 6k. I'm guessing they will be in the 6300 range. This would make it more competitive with the Rubicon, 4Runner etc.

They have some room for different configurations to keep GVWR in check, but allowing you to add sound deadening in the headliner or brush guard on 2.7 SAS Badlands wouldn't make the First Edition as special. I'm not saying it all makes sense, but you can sort of guess what they were thinking on...

If paying 100% of vehicle cost by check or cashier's check, then no credit app or background paperwork is required correct? That's been my experience in the past, but I feel like I've heard others claim otherwise at different dealers.

You're right....I just looked it up and curb weight does include a full tank of gas and all fluids to keep it running. I have no idea why they wouldn't count the rear bumper or spare tire. I'm almost positive they will give a higher GVWR to the heavier Broncos.....just like Jeep does with the...

The max curb weight for a 4 door Bronco is 5320. If they cap the GVWR at 6000, then that leaves 680lbs for payload. Gas is about 6.3lbs per gallon so with a full tank of gas (20.8 gallons = 131lbs) the payload is now 549lbs. I weigh about 210lbs so if the GVWR is capped at 6000, then I can...

In reading through this thread and playing around with the different builds it seems to me that Ford is limiting options to make ordering easier, but really trying to keep GVWR in check...or more specifically allow adequate payload. For example, you can't add a roof rack to sasquatch because...

The question is if the 5300 curb will have a 1300+ payload or not. We won't know until Ford releases more specs.

I'm just crunching a few numbers here because I'm curious too and wondering if it will be an issue for my use case. Searching around I found some stated info and used that to calculate other info. Please correct me if my math or understanding isn't accurate. taken from Ford: max payload -...

same....no changes noticed, but the site is way faster to load

I switched earlier today to Serramonte due to Sean's presence on this forum, the fact that he is an auto enthusiast, and the x-plan pricing. Cheers!

That could look cool. Ferrari has yellow brakes on some models.

Nice! Cool car. Did the buyer hear about it from this forum?

I've definitely noticed more than a few errors on the build and price site. I wouldn't be surprised if the roof rack and SAS not going together isn't an error unfortunately. I also think some of the groupings are really odd, but it is the marketing department trying to push people to different...

My guess is it has to do with safety testing. The center of mass is higher with Sasquatch, then adding a roof rack and added weight up top (with roof capacity) will make it more likely to roll over and likely not pass safety tests. I'm sure there will be a huge aftermarket for roof racks...
