I plan on a FWD w/ 2.0 and live in Michigan. I grew up on RWD in the snow and personally like this better than FWD as if you lose traction, it's not at the steering end. My plan since I don't want AWD is to go w/ a premium Winter tire. It's unbelievable how much better season designated tires...
While I'm ready to make a deposit on a FWD XL w/ 2.0, if Cruise is a pricey add on, I'll just keep my minty 2013 W/T, std w/ Cruise (9) years ago.
*Having a Power Moon Roof as a option on a XL enforces the oversight on Ford's part of omitting Cruise Control. At least make it a dealer installed...
Will the dealer do a X plan w/ all the fanfare presently? My build would be a XL w/ 2.0 turbo in FWD, I think sticker will be around $23K+tax, etc. Yes, I'm a minimalist:-)
