Yes those were both included in the package, you're right.
The Heritage is based on the Big Bend trim. If you don’t have the tow package, you will have a small spare and the cargo shelf will be on the lower location providing you with more cargo space.
Where would you find what?
Whether I have the full size spare or small spare; question answered above that I have small spare as I do not have the tow package in my Heritage. Thanks.
Thank you! As for the Cargo shelf it really wouldn't give me more cargo space as it is only a "cover" really, and good for stacking things that won't slide off? My groceries would. Also I think you lose a little bit of width with factory installed? I just use my black canvas storage unit from Amazon. I'm still sad I didn't order it (with NO help from the manager at the dealership, over the phone order). I've learned my lesson.
Absolutely correct on all counts. Items easily slide off the top of it, and it does consume some width in the cargo area. I wish that Ford would have just optioned a typical cargo cover retractable shade.
Yes, the retractable cover that you see in the majority of hatchbacks would have been preferable. I truly doubt many BS owners use the slippy table top for tailgate parties or camping, but I could be very wrong. I know that my NOT having the CMS gives me more space in back but honestly, most the time I just throw my grocery bags in the back seat as they roll around less. I keep auto related supplies in a nice black canvas (collapsable) three compartment storage with lids that velcro shut. Amazon, $42.99. Or anything I want to hide from view. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01DIMTWCS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
I use my CMS just as a security cover, and haven't needed to remove it yet, but if I go camping this summer, the CMS will likely stay home in my garage.
