Has anyone ever regretted getting a XL?

[mspmms]

No it don't. It looks like an XL with aftermarket wheels.

Seems to be some disagreement:

Not at all. Mine has the equipment I wanted. Wasn't going to pay $2,500 more to get wheels I didn't like, and interior colors I don't care for.
I simply upgraded the wheels to my taste. Never seen an Eruption green parts truck, but no one will mistake it for a fleet vehicle now. Truth be told, I paid more for my XL than many XLT's cost. Probably more than some early Lariats too. But I picked what I liked.

One more time, so happy with my 22xl ecoboost and my wifes 24xl hybrid.

After a little over 2 years and 51k miles I don't regret it a single bit. More fun to customize the base model to what I want and I didn't get that gawdy blue jean seats and orange interior from the XLT or the gawdy blue "leather" and gold accents from the Lariat.

XL is " Best Bang for the Buck" !!!!!
. . .

No regrets. 2022XL.

We have an XLT and an XL. My XL is the '24 with Cruise Control...The only thing missing is the motorized mirrors, which admittedly I miss sometimes. But that's really the only feature missing from the XLT that I can find. Even after buying rims it's still cheaper than an XLT. No regrets.

I can trick out my beautiful green AWD XL as I wish for 30% of your factory stuff. Paying $2K for Al wheels is why we have inflation. Be more careful buying and get wealthy.

No regrets. I would order it the same way if my options were the same. I do love the XLT wheels I added though (MTC member takeoffs).

No regrets on my XL! Having all the extra money allowed me to make my truck the way I wanted it, not the way ford thought it should be. Here's a good YouTube video...

Are you surprised that MOST XL buyers would say "I made a great decision" versus "I was a total DA for buying an XL"? I love the comments it's 2 grand for wheels. Much more difference between trims than that. You can put wheels on an XL but it is not a XLT, Lariat, Tremor, Lobo. I remember guys putting Crager SS wheels on inline 6s back in the day but they still were grocery getters.

Is that to mean since I also call the Gulf Of Mexico the established name my comments are not welcome?

LOL my Dad and his 74 Nova with a milktoast 250 inline 6, long tube headers, traction bars (totally unnecessary and Cragar SS wheels running 315s in the back.......is VERY offended!!!!

My xl didn't come with wheels or tires. In need of groceries and looking for crager ss wheels.

I went XLT for the cruise control.
On a long road trip, it is a Godsend.

I like steak. Some people prefer burgers or kale. (The kale guy probably going to live the longest)

Rest easy in your choice of steak. It is one of the healthiest foods humans can eat.
Kale, on the other hand is almost indigestible and full of plant toxins.
The Kale person will probably not out live the steak person.

I second the steak option.

bought my first carbon framed bicycle, and still had a few thousand dollars left over.

Mountain bike or roadie?

Last time I looked Cragar did not make a SS-style wheel in the right bolt pattern & offset to fit Maverick.

She's still pretty though, even today! You can see where I got my love for green too....thanks Dad!

Gone are the long tube headers - replaced by factory exhaust manifold (that leaks because of a broken bolt). Removed are the traction bars and air shocks in the rear. The original 250 springs make it sit way too low so we're going to get some beefier springs to hopefully make it sit up a bit more. Cragar SS wheels gave way to some 235 Goodyear Eagles all around and some american racing wheels.

47k original miles. I put about 3k of those on in high school. Just sits and collects dust in his garage until we have a house we're working on we'll fire it up and move it into an empty garage until its finished.

Had a 73 in 77. But mine was a 350, lol. Loved that car but the impulses of youth had me trade it for a new 78 Blazer. Good luck with it and happy memories.

Dad had a 78' C/K 10 that had a 4" lift, 35" tires, long tube headers straight piped, that he would come pick me up from preschool in. Mom made him get rid of it when we moved from the country to the city and he was "embarrassing" her.....
