My Fiesta ST had nav(not available on the $50k 150 stx), one touch open(not available on the $70k 250 xlt), push start (not available on the before mentioned 250 xlt). LED DRL are standard on many vehicles $30k and up yet you can’t get them as a option on the $70k xlt 250.
302a xlt what? The 250 xlt only has an option for nav but you can’t get anything else. No led, one touch, or push start.
Was referencing a Tacoma vs a 70k optioned f150. No experience with any of the other stuff. 502a,802a packages are quite nice. Not close in comparison to an optioned Tacoma. Everything should have led lights at this point. No argument from me there. Also hard to compare a truck to a car. Price point doesn’t really match up. Especially since one option (6.7 diesel) In the f250 is one third of a fiesta st total cost. Lol. I just think truck to truck the f150 compares well. All overpriced.
The 150 STX does not have nav, one touch doors, LED day running lights, push button start. The stx 150 can run $50k msrp and non of the features I listed are available. Yet everyone is available on the Tacoma at $38k msrp. This is my point!
Then the question is what do you want? I clearly think its a pain to pull your key out of the pocket to open and start your vehicle. Very much like the difference between hand roll windows and power windows. If Im spending $40k+ on a vehicle I don't want to mess with my pockets or keys.
A $48k optioned lariat f150 has all those things. Makes no sense to upfit the lesser stx. And that’s with 502a package. Getting a lot more capable truck for $10k more. Again, I like both but the comparison just isn’t there. If you don’t need the room or towing, the Tacoma is a great option. But to say it costs $70k to get an f150 optioned like your Tacoma is quite incorrect.
Huh? Msrp for a crew 4x4 lariat 150 502a with nav is $57k. Direct from ford website.
Sorry. Didn’t have 4x4. So $52,400. The cab is way roomier than a Tacoma, the crew light years ahead in room. To me $14k is a no brainer. The vehicles are not cross shopped in most cases. The ranger and Tacoma yes. Where as the Tacoma is a better buy. The Tacoma and ranger can’t do the things an f150 can and there is a premium you pay for that. That’s all I was saying. For my family and activities, a mid size truck was never even considered. And most people fit that scenario. If the Tacoma or ranger had 800hp and laid out on the inside like a Bentley and cost $41k, it still wouldn’t have worked for me. If that doesn’t make sense, then I have nothing else to offer to this conversation. Was only making a casual statement/observation.
Sorry. Double post
I’m not saying the are cross shopped. I’m also speaking of msrp pricing so everything is relative.
Which is why, Ford is losing market share.
