Not once, while installing an aftermarket hitch and wiring, have I said to myself, "man I'm glad I didn't get the factory hitch and wiring". Essentially, in my experience, the cost differential between factory and aftermarket is minimal, if you value your time to install, etc.
I've added it...
I'm not changing a thing... I figured I've spent way too long configuring and deciding. If I have to way a few extra months, I'm ok with that. MIC and tow package will remain on my build. My only complaint is that I can't have a roof rack! What the heck?! I'll have to get that aftermarket...
@J_Meh_Cray_D I'm also a very novice off-roader. (99.9% of my off-roading has been on a dirtbike). I'm looking to enjoy some 4-wheel off-roading and the TAT is very enticing. I'm in Ga, northwest of Atlanta, and see that parts of the trail come pretty close [north Ga, Tn, etc.]. I'd like to...
This is precisely the sentiment I used to respond to my wife when she asked, "why do we need all that?". I simply said, "rather have it and not need it, then need it and not have it". Over the years, we've found ourselves in situations where the capabilities of our vehicle determined...
I probably can say I've driven my dealer just a little crazy... primarily around color. Back and forth between A51 and Cactus Grey. Currently on Cactus Grey, however, while driving around town, my wife and I have become quite conscience of how many white, black and grey vehicles are on the...
Funny... I thought I would be, but oddly I'm not. Mostly due to the lack of information from the dealership and the level of confusion. I know it's all a process and when I finally jump into my Wildtrak I'll probably forget about all these bumps in the road to get there. Especially knowing the...
"Funny" story ... While checking my reservation status on the Ford.com site, I noticed my reservation was converted on 2/28/2021. Interesting how I've not received any notice of such activity, and also "funny" how the dealership didn't convey any of this to me.
Just curious why they only...
Follow-up question, I've been informed that a couple of items I've included in my build are not actually available at this time: 1. Rock rails (I added them to the Wildtrak) and 2. Top Panels + 4-door storage bag. Anyone else run into the "these are not available" issues?
Traded emails and a couple of phone calls with the dealership last week. Seems everything is on track for ordering, however, as of today (3/16), no confirmation.
Based on a short discussion with the sales rep at the dealer, looking more and more like MY22 for me... which is fine, I just wanna have updates and info. :)
Thanks for the insights guys. Pretty simple build... WildTrack, Leather interior with tow-hitch, rock sliders and modular front bumper. Was contemplating moving my reservation, but didn't know if we are too deep into the process. Might be worth talking with another local dealership as this point.
