New Build Advice: Locker vs V6

[mpeugeot]

Thanks for all the tips. I ended up just spending a little extra for my original idea: 2 door Black Diamond, if anyone was curious.

So 2 door V6?

No, I went 4 cylinder. The only thing I added was the automatic, but wouldn't have done that had it not been required.

Ya, the situation with the manual transmission is kinda fucked.

Peep this. This guy is running a Open diff (no locker) white 2dr Base i4

with a stick shift. On the most rough trail there is. All he has is a lift and tires.

You can option 4A on the Black Diamond so it's actually usable in the winter...

Well, it looks like my dealer did that, even though we didn't set that up when we built it a couple days prior to ordering. But I've gone in there and changed it a couple times, so it was probably left over from an earlier iteration. I'm cool with it.

Not sure if it was a Ford thing or my dealer did it, but they also knocked off $250 under "AM/FM 6 Spkrs SDAR." Don't know what that's all about, but...

NICE. BD with 4A is my dream winter bruiser build.

I'm actually really glad, in hindsight. They're also telling me that, since I added so few options, that mine is likely to be among the first built from this batch of orders, but we'll see.

Happens automatically, the 2023 was supposed to come with a subwoofer, then supply chain issues nixed it, so they give you a $250 credit for the subwoofer you didn't know you were gonna get anyway..

I'd rather have the $250 than the subwoofer. Thanks for the info.

Wish they'd give a discount for forcing me into an automatic.
