Is Mid Package a must for a daily driver?

[LOSTXGOLD]

I was in the same position, on my build it would cost me an extra $7000 over the Base to get the Mid in the BB, and the only thing I wanted was heated seats, the rest I saw little or no value in.

I had that same dilemma - I could not justify jumping up that high in price, for such a small thing, even though it’s a convenient item, I would rather have Sasquatch package instead.

We all have our different needs/wants

I’ve had my Black Diamond for a month in cold Utah. I hate bells and whistles too much crap to break. I didn’t go mid and don’t miss it. The Ford app has remote start I really don’t get all the heated seat lovers I hate heated seats just turn on the heater ? Dual climate control all the air gets mixed anyway. For me I love the basic save the money for other mods.

Keep saving and get a badlands with the high package. I got the 2 door manual with the high package and it's awesome it was 46k with the price protection so like 47k without it.

Just wondering, would a Big Bend with the mid package fit your budget. The BB manual has the same gearing as the BD if that's a need, you just can't get the locker with a manual in the BB. Just a thought as the mid package does have a lot of nice stuff in it.

My 21 black diamond has more technology that my 2012 F350 lariat. Only thing I miss a little is the dual temperature control when my wife is in the car with me. She’s comfortable from 70.5-71 F. Every other temperature is high heat or frosty ac running.

I‘ve owned both base and mid package , my take is, I love heated seats, but that’s an easy fix with Katzkin. Only other thing I really like is the BLIS but it’s not a big deal. I’d say base is all you need having had both.

Wish my wife could drive stick so I could drop mid and get the manual BD.

If you don’t have heated seats now, don’t make this the moment you capitulate and skip getting a stick shift ICON.

If you need a reason, do it for me! …and yourself, obviously

That’s easy get the stick your wife will learn or not drive it . I left for a snowmobile long weekend 4 days and my wife put nearly 200 miles on mine.

for the OP katskin makes a nice product can add heat for less than the mid package. If that’s all your after. There are also heated seatkits out there if you didn’t want leather/vinyl seats.

Heated seats are a must for my bad back....wish I could get massaging seats like my f150....remote start is good as well...and u get an 110v outlet in console with mid as well...

no

Or just have your wife go out and start it for you and sit in the seat long enough to warm it up

Badlands. No mid, for the win.

You don’t need that stuff. You do need those 4.7 gears tho…….

You get wireless CarPlay and remote start even with base model. Base Sasquatch is the best bang for your buck imho

On my old phone I need to fire up the app which takes about 5-8 seconds. Then you can hold down the start button for another 5 seconds.

And you need to be in cell coverage.

It's useful but it's no replacement for the fob.

Basesquatch here, wish it had less even. Daily driver has everything I need.

Manual>mid package

I don't care about the remote start. It won't work with the manual anyway. I do care about the heat seats, keyless entry, footwell lighting, auto dual AC, auto-dimming rearview mirror and the other gimmicks. It's a deal breaker for me.
