Trim Levels

[FirstOnRaceDay]

Also! On the higher trims I doubt you will be able to get the extra options individually (bigger screen, remote start, cold weather etc)

I think it may be packaged. (301 be 302 package) that’s how the explorer is.

I really hope this isn't the case, but Ford will likely package a lot of options, and restrict certain things to specific trims. Just like they do with the trucks. If for no other reason that to keep the production line simplified. What would really kill Jeep is if they let you configure a la carte, but that's doubtful.

I agree. Most things will be packaged. Just looking at the New explorer and escape. Very few options on each trim.

I think the lower trims might have a tech package like explorer ($5,000) for ford360 better touch screen and speakers. Remote start. Led lights etc.

Then higher trim is standard.

but that’s also why the price range of each trim is pretty close (3-7k) vs Jeep. (12-20k)

All this Jeep comparison talk sent me to the Jeep website to check it out. I discovered that a Gladiator Sport with the Max Tow Package (improved suspension,4:10 axles, LS rear) could be had at "employee pricing" for about 35K and there's one available locally in a good color. Man this thing would be easy to build onto. I hope Ford hurries, before I do something foolish after studying this so hard for the last few years! ?‍

Bronco base is going to be above Jeep Sport. Not sure Gladiator is even a fair comparison because it's a truck. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bronco Raptor competes with the Gladiator Mojave or whatever upper model Jeep has 3 years from now in the Gladiator lineup.

But remember, its an FCA product, the quality goes in after you break down, not when it is built. But they do through in numerous steering issues for free.

I know, I have owned probably 15 Fords and five Jeeps, and yes the Bronco Base will be better equipped than a Jeep S, but let's get on with this, I'm ready!

Here's a thought while we wait a little longer......
What if they do the trim levels in reverse?
You start with one of the 4 suspension packages. Instead of choosing xlt, lariat, ECT...you start with the packages. And I'm just making this up,
Sport
FX4
Tremor
Warthog
Each with increasing levels of capability.
Then you get to choose your equipment group to keep cost down. 101,301,501,ect...and those might have names for badging, like XL, Xlt (insert made up name)...
That would be pretty cool. I'm not sure how Jeep does it, might be similar?

Jeep has it all packaged. But you may be onto something. But I think all the combos will be a different trim.

sport 101 is one trim
Sport 301 is another trim
Fx4 301 is a different trim

I think each one will have its own unique name. Especially since all the different names are trademarked.

Or pay a shop like I work at to put $1,000 worth of real steering on to fix what the factory couldn't do right the first time.
