Black Appearance Package - any more photos?

[aubradford]

Hey gang, just joined here as I've ordered a 2023 Lariat hybrid, alto blue with the black appearance package (BAP). I saw the image in the order guide of the so-called BAP, but in the image the door handles aren't black, something listed as a component of the BAP. Has anyone seen more images or mockups of this package? I'm particularly interested in getting eyes on the seats, which are listed as onyx black, which I'm thrilled about as I don't love the color of the other option! Anybody else order this package or have thoughts on how it will look?

Some suspect it's referring to the door pull being black instead of the Navy Pier/Orange of the XLT or Bronze on the Lariat.

I ordered a Lariat hybrid in silver with the BAP. Like you I'm very interested in the interior. I know the wheels and trim will look great but what happens to the predominantly blue interior? I'm hoping the black seats will be an upgrade over the standard two-tone seats and hopefully, the interior trim will be black as well. We may have to wait until the online build in October to see more and get a better description. I hope the BAP doesn't become a constraint item because I'm sure orders will exceed expectations.

@Darnon is typically right on the money! I'd believe it was intended to refer to the interior pull/handle as well.

The only image we have so far is that one in the packaging guide, which shows a Lariat BAP with body color exterior handles. Exterior door handles are already black on XL and XLT, you'd have to get Lariat to get painted handles, I suspect it's staying this way. Even on the Tremor Appearance Pack, the Carb Gray exterior handles are only on Lariat Tremors. The painted handles Ford uses seem to only be for models with Intelligent Access (keyless entry) which also limits them to Lariats. Unfortunately to truly confirm we'll have to wait and see some real world images of the BAP, which could be a little while.

I ordered a XLT Alto Blue with the black appearance package but can’t find pics so I really don’t know how the black will contrast with the dark blue.

This is from the 2023 Maverick Guide Ford put out. It is the Tremor XLT interior (I think anyway, it is really hard to tell, but panels that are blue in regular XLT interiors appear to be black here). That is similar to the BAP as I understand it. Sorry for the picture quality, I had to zoom in.

That's just a regular XLT interior.

Me too, buddy. It will look good, I promise.

Here is a new image of the BAP posted on Facebook with the Atlas Blue. What's concerning is it also says the Lariat with BAP will have Cloth seats which would be stupid so that's hopefully an error.

@skadizzle thanks for posting this. That's the color/BAP combo I just ordered. Where on Facebook did you find this?

The order guide is a much better source than some random unsourced post on Facebook.
