I'm on 3 21-23/24 f150 FB groups and pretty active. Which one had that post?
The XL now has LED reflectors, digital dash and the 12" radio, so in some ways the XL regular cab is nicer than the low trim XLT regular cab of before.The 2.7 RWD RCSB was a nice truck, zippy and comfortable. I’ve bumped into a few 21+ regular cab owners that opted for the 3.3, which is also a good engine. The V8 is a waste for city driving, especially when not towing.
If Ford thinks that everyone will just take what they can get; they’re mistaken. People will either keep their old truck longer, or look at other brands.
Toyota’s new Tacoma extra cab is the closest thing that they’ve had to a regular cab in a little while but it’s only with a turbo 4 cylinder. If you are just hauling around pool chemicals or rat/bug poison; there’s less and less options of cheap work trucks that satisfy that role. Auto parts stores have already been switching to shitbox sedans and hatchbacks for the past few years. The old RCSB Tacoma and Ranger used to be ubiquitous in that role.
Ford also dropped the XLT regular cab which is even bigger bullshit. So now you can’t get a cheap, or a nice regular cab. Also, many of the options are more on the XL and incentives are rarely available.
Just a few years ago Farley was talking shit about how they wanted to shift to customer orders and how great it was to have so many options. Totally a bunch of flip flopping and they still can’t build enough Mavericks or body on frame Broncos to sell.
Good thing that they are investing so much into EV trucks
