I'm all about that base , bout that base, bout that base, No Platinum

Out of curiosity, when you cancelled your reservation was there a place to tell them why you were requesting a refund?

Yes I've gone back and forth about it and canceled 4 times. Extensive contact with Ford media and their customer support and the dealer. They aren't going to sell that truck to me no matter what. I even pointed out that I was given conflicting information. Some emails said I could buy it, some said I couldn't. Facebook rep and dealer said I could, some manager for the lightning said I couldn't. I got fed up with all the conflicting information and the fact that they're too proud to sell me the truck I want.

At this point if you're expecting any "hard" information I think you're out of luck. Final specs and prices have not been officially announced yet.

For the first set of reservations, it is a leap of faith.

Perhaps you'd be more comfortable waiting a bit to see how things shake out.

Ya several years down the road I think they will have more options available. However Ford has also talked a lot recently about reducing costs/complexity in manufacturing so I could see some of the options and possibly even entire trims disappearing. What's the real difference between a Platinum/king ranch/ limited on the current truck?

Looks like it is all about the base now except there ain’t much to go around…

Nope , I'm not anticipating getting a Pro this year 1. Ford isn't making many 2. I'm like 100k in line. Maybe wave 6? Hopefully , MY23 has some more flexible options for the consumer like an affordable XLT with ER or a Pro with ER.

That’s what I said. The best is the Pro (it’s all about the base)….
1. Ain’t much to go around.
2: see #1

its all about the base unless you want that extra 140 hp.

I canceled my reservation because they refuse to sell the extended range pro to standard consumers. Money talks.

If the put the extended battery on the pro it would be a 19,500 upcharge like the XLT but the Pro doesn't have those options which would prove they are screwing XLT buyers already
