[QUOTE="melvimbe, post: 1628868, member: 35314"] I don't think that it is. Ford actually just put on a[URL='https://www.motortrend.com/news/2021-ford-f-150-oboard-scales-towing-payload-weight/'] brand new option[/URL] for the F150 mid year. Unless there is some sort of common part for recaros and 37s, or they've ordered parts in batches, they could easily change the options and pricing. I'm not saying they will, but they could. I think the point was that forum complaints are not going to get as much attention as direct complaints or complaints through dealers. I would guess that there is always a tough call with these design teams to go with more neutral, broadly accepted options, or to be more risky bold picking something that might not appeal to as many. It's funny as the Gen 3 has often been accused of not being different enough from the Gen 2...that's it's really Gen 2.5. It's not bold enough. At the same time, the choice of orange in the interior of every Raptor is thought of as too bold. I can see why they didn't want to go with red, since that is used in the TRX, but it's not like they didn't go with red on the steering wheel already. Or they could have switched to blue....or white, or grey. Personally, I want a standard base with bold options, so I can choose what I think works for me. I suppose Ford isn't too keen on that idea since options raises costs, and my potentially bad choices could result in lower resale value, hurting the brand. But it's not like a lot of people are going to throw in a ton of aftermarket mods anyway. [/QUOTE]
