I'm in a dilemma I need everyones opinion

[2022mavxlt]

Ok guys I need some opinions here. I ordered an XLT AWD ecoboost Iconic Silver with 4K Tow Package and Co Pilot 360 on 9/27. It was looking like I wasnt going to be scheduled for a long time so i have been calling around trying to find stock or cancelled orders. I called over 150 dealers lol well i finally found one yesterday its a base model though set to arrive jan17th. It is an XL with the 4K tow package and nothing else. (I definitely need the 4k tow) So no Co-pilot 360 in this one also no power mirrors or cruise control. Dealer is selling it at sticker $25,540 and no mark up which is rare. It was looking like mine was going to take forever my dealer has had 0 customer orders delivered and only 2 scheduled going into this thursday and theres about 15 orders ahead of mine so it was looking like I wasnt going to see mine until late spring or even early summer if they went in order (which i know they dont always do). So I told the dealer with the XL to send me over the invoice and window sticker. Well I go to check my email and right next to the dealers email with the XL is the email from ford saying my build is scheduled for week of 2/21 and best case scenario I can see mine around end of march/beginning of april. What is your guys opinion on Base model with no co pilot 360 and without power mirrors or cruise control vs the XLT with co pilot 360 with power mirrors and cruise control?. Is the Co-Pilot a really big help? Does anyone know how the manual mirrors work on the XL? Can i adjust the passenger mirror from the driver seat with the manual mirrors? the XL is also around $3500 cheaper than my XLT build. What would you guys do wait it out or go with the XL that I can have in about a month? Another concern of mine is I have seen a million of you guys have your dates pushed back or have the vehicle get stuck in shipping. If mine gets pushed back into a may/june delivery I will be mad I didnt take this one now lol not sure what to do here what do you guys think??

I would NOT buy an XL without the 360 package because you WILL NOT have power mirrors.
360 gets you power mirrors on XL trim. No power mirrors sucks, especially when towing.

If you are in a position where you are comfortable waiting then get the truck that suits your needs the best.

If you are pressed to get something sooner then get what you can.

You have an XL correct? How do the non power mirrors adjust is it like a knob? Can you adjust passenger mirror from drivers seat or do you need to lean over to adjust it?

No power means opening the window and pushing the glass with your fingers as there are no controls. Power controls are on the driver door panel just like the XLT and Lariatt. Yes, I have them on my XL. The only way you can get them on XL is with the 360 package.

There is not a knob, you have to physically adjust by pushing on the mirror itself.

Ok gotcha. Did not realize you have co pilot at first so you do have the power mirrors. Im curious how the non power mirrors work.

I would take the XL now, and keep your current XLT order. When it comes in, decide which to keep, which to sell. Given the current market, you'll likely loose very little, or perhaps even make a few bucks, pending which way you go.

Is the knob for adjustment on the door panel or outside on the mirror itself? and is there any way to adjust the passenger mirror from the driver seat?

There's no knob. You literally just push on the mirror glass assembly to reorient it as desired. It is the manual-est of manual mirrors.

Get the XL then trade it for your XLT coming in.. Shouldnt loss much...

Yes, 100% agree. If you can swing it, buy them both and then sell the one you decide you don't want.

Wow surprised in this day and age they wouldnt have a knob or something to adjust the non power mirrors. I remember being young and my parents having cars without power mirrors but there was still a knob on the driver door panel that manually adjusted the driver mirror and these were cars from the 80s lol

No one can help you decide. I will wait for my build no matter what happens.

I was thinking that but with the sales tax and registration fees and all that, not to mention my credit score going down from having 2 new car loans within 3-4 months, Im not sure if its all worth it. I know that the credit score will bounce back in a few months once one comes off but im just not sure if its all worth it. Even if I get 5k over sticker for one of them id barely be just about breaking even with all the fees associated. Maybe a few bucks in the profit if i get 5k over but just not thinking its worth it.
