They're kind of like the 2 dr Heritage Limited's and they haven't come down too much, but I agree not sure the take rate will be too crazy. I think we'll see a bunch sitting at the end of the year with that price guess we'll see.

Well, the two door v6 SAS I have gets me right at 20 mpg, I looked at a Braptor when I was placing the order for a Stroppe but since I daily drive, I couldn't justify 15mpg. And well, I really do not care for a 4dr look. I was reconsidering as they have some Braptors locally with huge discounts, if Ford had delayed Stroppe production until later in the year, I might have cancelled for a Braptor. But, thanks to this thread, that fleeting though has dissipated.I like the colour scheme of the Stroppe, but I like to stand out from the crowd. So loud colours off colours, yeah I like those.
I think these may start off pricey, but as with the BRaptors they will come down. They need a nitch, and at that price, most would just get the BRaptor unless you really really want a 2.7 two door.
2025 Base 2 door, 2.3, manual, Sasquatch is likely to be the rarest combination.Yep. It may end up being the most rare configuration. I’d be interested to find out if they sell more than 100 of them.
I have this exact config minus the color, but 2022. I hope they are bringing the base back, it was sad to see the absolute best looking badge get discontinued.2025 Base 2 door, 2.3, manual, Sasquatch is likely to be the rarest combination.
Depending on the color desert sand or ruby red?
Strope Edition is painted freedom colours so of course it’s not available up narth, eh.I really like the Stroppe edition but it’s not even offered in Canada so one less temptation to worry about. I much prefer it to the Braptor which to me is as homely as it is capable.
Your baseline assumption is that it is built off a 2.7L 2-dr Base. Every single limited special edition (FE and HEL) is based off a 2.7L Badlands LUX.Here is some math on the Stroppe Edition:
4 years ago = 2021 Base with 2.7 is under $32K ($31.6K)
Now = Stroppe Edition debuts at over $75K ($75.5K)
Thats a big difference, so let’s turn that 2-door Base with a 2.7 into a Stroppe.
1) add Sasquatch for $6K , or buy big tires, lockers, and shocks yourself.
2) add different flares, $500
3) add a colorful wrap, $5K.
So we are up to, at most, $45K, and upgrading to Dana 60 and 5.13 gears with 37’s you would still be under $50K.
So what do you get from FoMoCo for the $30K difference? Dual zone A/C? Adaptive cruise? LED taillights?
Ford won’t sell many Stroppe Editions, but the profit margin will be absolutely huge. It’s a mass production vehicle, Stroppe is just a bunch of options added to a Base. I bet Ford easily has a profit of $45K per vehicle if sold at MSRP.
And this one is based off the HEL with Fox shocks added.Your baseline assumption is that it is built off a 2.7L 2-dr Base. Every single limited special edition (FE and HEL) is based off a 2.7L Badlands LUX.
There is still plenty of profit so the argument is still valid.
Add $5700 to your base prise to adjust for the change in the value of the dollar, thanks to some high inflation over the last 4 years. Darn present value calculation.Here is some math on the Stroppe Edition:
