Is the XLT Black Out Package really worth it?

I got a fully loaded XLT BAP with factory leather and FX4 for $55k OOTD.

That’s exactly what I need! What color did you get? Please post a pic.

Mine’s a 2023 Carbonized Grey Metallic 3.5 Eco with the 302A FX4 and the BAP. It would now be the BAP Plus that includes leather. It stickered at $66.5k, but I got it for $55k since it had been sitting on the lot for three months. You can find similar deals in my area (TX).

It looks cool. People like that.

I wish I didn’t live in NY. I paid $62k for the 302A BAP.

Damn, I just paid that but for the 303A.

The sticker was $68k.

The Black Out package is so cheap it’s practically free. It definitely looks better than the chrome.

Ford dealers have lost their minds. I was quoted $66k for a Lariat 501A yesterday at a dealership. A friend of a friend works there and said, ‘I’ll take care of you,’ but I walked out. They’ve been blowing up my phone. I’ll wait for March and if prices are still this crazy, I’ll look at other options.

@Zeke
Is there another manufacturer making a similar truck for a better price? What other route are you considering?

@Zeke
Yeah, that’s way too much. I’ve seen 502As going for around that price in my area.

It’s insane that the F150 and F250 are the same price for some options.

Supply and demand.

I paid $72k for my 2023. I got every feature available. A similarly spec’d Lariat was over $80k at the time. Didn’t make sense to pay for BlueCruise and parallel parking assist, as those were the only things I’d really be paying extra for. Worth every penny. I’m not worried about resale value. When I’m ready for a new truck, I’ll most likely go with another XLT.

The BAP is just a package. You can get it on a Lariat or Platinum too.

302A trim with black looks way better than all that chrome. Cloth seats are even better than leather.

I have a 2019 BAP XLT. Someone posted a 2024 BAP XLT for $60k with $8k in rebates.

I just got $12k off MSRP. LOL.

Mine was $62k in Canada for a 2023. They’ve definitely gone up in price.

I’m happy the previous owner had leather on my XLT. It has the BAP, FX4, 303A, and Lariat wheels. Looks like a Lariat with all those features.

I thought the price increase for the 2024s was crazy. I was going to order the 2023 XLT with the 303A package. Ended up getting a $50k 2022 F250 instead. Same price, more truck.
