Flat would look a lot better on the Mav without all the black plastic trim. Neutral/dark metallics look better on this vehicle IMO. Alto Blue looks amazing. I wouldn't remove Cactus Gray because I have anything against it. It would just be that there are too many gray/silver colors with my...
Just read that "a dealer in Iowa" has 1300 Bronco reservations by pricing it $1K under MSRP, but only has been able to fill 150 of them. I wouldn't hold my breath for a build email.

I really dislike CVTs. I hate how they keep the engine in the proper rev range for power/efficiency. I really wish they would just stick to a fixed number of gears at fixed ratios and clunk through them with the smoothness of sandpaper. Who wants near-instant power without 2 or 3 downshifts...
$10 well worth it. Support the Forscan devs and they will have motivation to make the product even better. Or just enjoy your coffee for the next 2 days.
You're really paying for the wiring harness when it comes to these kits. I put a OEM power tailgate lock on my Tacoma and it was a pretty standard looking actuator, but the wiring harness was specifically designed for the truck and made to work with the factory remote.
X-Plan reduces the price on my build by about $750 compared to MSRP, but that's because I ticked a lot of options. It's the $100 cap on dealer fees that make it just as good or better than the farm bureau discount in many cases.
Ford employees = A-Plan
Ford retirees = Z-Plan
Members of affiliated organizations = X-Plan
Dealer knows. Question is if X-Plan has to be part of the order.
Discounted pricing. I am eligible through my employer. Others have joined clubs like the Mustang Club of America or the Experimental Aircraft Association to access it.
My dealer does honor X-Plan and has informed me that the Mav is eligible for X-Plan pricing, but we didn't talk about it at the time of order. This is a conversation we had after the fact.
It takes a huge effort to implement process improvement changes. You're not likely to see anything different between current production compared to the beginning of the run. If anything, these changes might occur when they switch over from MY22 to MY23 production.
Naturally aspirated 2.5 vs turbo 2.0
The turbo effectively raises the displacement of the engine by compressing air and making more of it available to burn fuel in the same volume.
Even the Badlands and Wildtrak trims are going for $80K+ in our area. I've been holding on to a Bronco reservation. Thought about getting the $30K base model and just flipping it. Missed the boat on the Raptor, but might have a chance at an Everglades. That's still twice as much as the base...
