to anyone that gets a FE, it's a fine choice, as long as the dealer isn't sticking you with some $4k+ markup over MSRP because it's an FE.
For me, it was the other way around. Looking at the details of the BL Package, it had almost everything the FE had. BL+BL is missing the blue leather and decals and black painted aluminum wheels; these cannot be added. And BL+BL is missing some items that can (should) be included as add-ons: 235/65R17 A/T tires, tow package.
Not yet been watching for that specific question as it seems to have gained traction...I will post as soon as I see something on it...
True, I suppose, trading in decals and color interior for Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go and Lane Centering, and Speed Sign Recognition (Available Option) might be a consideration....I'm trying to buy into the new century and have an old 2005 vehicle, if this is a real safety concern then I too may speak to my dealer about changing. Brown interior and as you say, other options are available.
Not a fan of the blue interior of the FE. Cool to get the Cyber Orange trim on inside and out with Badlands. I might change mine too.
Another note is the full size spare. Their website says mini spare. I will be disappointed if I get a donut instead of full wheel/tire spare.JamesT you are correct in the online configurator. Now look at the "Badlands" order guide and it mentions "Not available on First Edition"
This was one of many inconsistencies I'm sure you've noted, but I thought it had been resolved that the FE would have a full size spare.
Did you do this as a part of the order creation or did you need to create a whole new reservation?
