Dumbing down the Badlands trim.
I watched part of the video. On one part, I like them removing things from the packages and allowing us to add them on ourselves.
The problem is, a lot of us just go to a dealership or search local dealerships and have to settle for what the have on hand. So for me, I've been itching for a Big Bend with Convenience, Black Diamond, that shelf in the back, and maybe a moonroof. But I can't even find one nearby with Convenience and BD. Now If I'd be looking for one with the 400w outlet, it'll be even harder to find.
I guess that's one thing I liked about Honda. If I'm looking for an Accord, I have the choice of VP, SE, EX, EX-L, V6 EX, or V6 EX-L (or something like that). Anything extra doesn't have to be added at the factory. It probably cuts down on manufacturing costs.

That’s exactly why I went with a BTO. I knew there wouldn’t be any matching my preferred spec anywhere. Sure it was a seven month wait, but I got what wanted in the end.
That's probably what I'll do on my next go around... if I have the time.
I'm still not sure if I'd get a BS, full size, or a Passport. But I'm enjoying the BS!
For me, that’s the only way I can get a Ford anymore. Honda’s, my wife just goes and buys the EX-L and adds a few dealer installed options.
