Question XLT vs Tremor Package

the question is: why would I purchase a XLT with adaptive cruise control when you can get the tremor with a lot more features with included adaptive cruise control for only 1,000.00 to 2,000.00 more on msrp price? i realize this is only with the 5.0V8 engine but does it really matter? why is the XLT priced so highly with adaptive cruise control?

If you're considering a Tremor then you should also consider a Lariat, not an XLT. I think the equipment and pricing will be more similar.

There's 2 Tremor levels with a massive price difference. The 401A is basically an XLT, the 402A is a high trim lariat.

I wouldn't buy a non-Tremor, but that's just me. 33" tires, neat interior and bumpers, unique grill, [raptor side steps, Torsten front diff and transfer case (in 402a)], etc.

Use case questions...1) XLT oriented to towing 2) Tremor oriented to off-road

Because Ford's data says buyers will pay it somehow.

If there is demand for an XL level tremor with no frills, and people are avoiding higher trim models, Ford will have no choice but to do it.

Ford has done this for decades. It's possible to option an STX to be more expensive than a similar equipped XLT, and to option an XLT higher than a base Lariat. You can also option a Lariat to be higher priced than a King Ranch or Platinum. One thing to consider is what those trim levels do to your insurance.

XLT is geared for those who want to tow, Tremor for off-roading.
