There are quite a few out in the wild already. Some have been shipped but some with certain options are on hold, you know supply chain shit.

Yup. Supply Chain BULLSHIT has gone away on Raptors and Broncos…Finally! But, getting a Trail…built the way you wanted? Well…not so much. 

Building it into a Class B MoHo is the only thing that keeps me interested.

Just a heads up 

The auto start stop removal removes the button to turn it off.

WAIT..... it still does "Start/Stop" but you can't turn it off?

I need to correct  my previous statement. 

My son bought an F150 with A.S.S. removed. 

It does not shut down at all.

I’ve been shopping around for vans and saw this trail edition on a dealers lot tonight. First one I’ve seen in person. Pretty awesome, but sticker was 73k… ouch!

The production Trail versus the development Trail has me thinking...

I'll keep my regular Transit and use Ranger Raptors & Broncos for my off-road adventures and chase needs.

I'm jus' knowin'...

Surprised they don't put the coyote in this rig. Sure the mpg and power isn't quite on the ecoboost but as soon as the eco goes into boost the mpg's go out the window. Some people don't want an ecoboost that leak oil and coolant out of every connection after 75k miles.

I’d be willing to pay the extra 16g if the lift was much of a lift. But the ones I’ve seen don’t even look lifted. And I don’t like the wheel offsets on the trail. 
shit I’d pay 16k for the power slider that’s not available lol. I want a power slider bad

My 2021 AWD eco boost has 87k. Rock solid, knock on wood.

I have 2020 MR with the NA 3.5 that has  80k on it and it rips , was super cheap when i bought it to (compared to now) . If it had awd/4wd or didn't get stuck on flat ground it would be mint

Bro you put on miles almost as bad as me! 
mine is AWD with limited slip rear diff, it’s unstoppable , I drag the rear bumper everywhere tho because it’s the long body.

Honestly I wouldn't worry about it. It's not like they have catastrophic issues, more just stuff starts to wear out over time like any vehicle. Just more points of concern with added complexity. Hell Chevy managed to make one of the most reliable V8's unreliable with AFM Laughing The mind boggles.

Bought a 2019 MR/long for $31K in 2020 just as everyone started hiding indoors. It's got over 145K on it. Love that rig. Best "Dollar per Mile" bike hauler I've owned...EVER. The price that I paid for a Raptor that day was "legendary". Laughing

I now have 180,000 on my 2019 Transit 350HD with the 3.5.. All I have done is oil, filters, plugs and brakes.  Can’t complain about that. Been awesome!

That’s for the wife’s mini van, not a man’s moto van😂. 
 

I know we all have features we really want (I’m just joking about yours)  for me it’s sliding doors on both sides. That way it doesn’t matter which way you park the van. They used to offer it, but not anymore.
