Clarification - OBX higher gearing...plus advanced 4wd?

[jaruss01]

*4 dr FEs not 2 dr, and if the assumptions that they use in the logic of the cose assumes the worst, which adds to the error in BnP.
I am not saying there may not be some issues with adding certain combinations of add-ons, but the whole "think deeper" comment and reply was all humor.
My thinking deeper is if they fix they it may end up adding cost to the BnP.

My think deeper comment was for everyone to get on the same page as to what we are about to see unfold out of Ford. So glad we’re now on the same page.

Ok thanks. So 795 vs 1590. 795 still is orderable. Although matching BL content , losing another 795 for auto 4wd to avoid BL for weight issues.

I feel like Ford, in trying to give buyers lots of options, complicated things for themselves while not actually making things better for customers. First Edition aside, we really only need three models:

Base, which has basically nothing and allows mostly functional upgrades (i.e., drivetrain and suspension), but not front locker, swaybar disconnect. This is your basic off-roader. Interior is base, optional mid or maybe high. This basically combines Base and Big Bend, but slightly different. Cloth or MGV interior. No 12" screen, etc. If you want higher-end, see next option.

Black Diamond (or whatever they want to call it), which has the HOSS and allows getting the front locker, swaybar disconnect, Sasquatch. Interior is mid, optional to Lux. Basically anything can be had on this. This basically combines Black Diamond, Badlands and Wildtrack, you just option it however you want. It's the one that can be the serious off-roader.

Outer Banks, which has the high package, optional Lux and focuses on all the fancies. MGV or leather interior, sound deadening, etc. This is the luxury model and may have some exclusive high-end touches to allow competing with Land Rover, etc.

youre an idiot. If you haven’t realized, this rollout, one of the biggest ones in the decade, is about to take on major twists and turns for gvwr issues. It won’t be VW dieselgate, but it will be bad. When the brand manager is almost crying trying to recite Fords executive scripted responses, it’s not a good sign for things to come.

call me a pessimist. But watch how this unfolds.

Your name must be Todd or Mr. Anderson.
