Default Sport appearance pkg not on 163" WB ?

Did I read that correctly?
Sport appearance package not available on the 163" wheelbase?
I also noticed 8' box says "late availability" dang it.

Interested in this myself. I was looking at possibly ordering a XLT SCAB heavy duty for work and despise the chrome on the XLT.

What I find even stranger than that is the fact that you can not order the sport pkg on the RCSB XLT?


WTH, the "sportiest" truck you could build will always be the smallest, lightest, and if you order the XL WITH the sport pkg, you do NOT get floor console shift?


It just seems really dumb to me.

Maybe they're saving that for the Tremor...

NOT busting on anyone that has bought one, but I highly doubt you see a 15 Tremor, I just really don't think they have sold that well.

With all dealers expecting huge markups or full MSRP initially, combined with Ford's decision to sell the Tremor only fully loaded cancelled any hope of success there was for the Tremor to succeed. Hard to justify $36-45K+ for a Tremor, when a properly spec'd STX RCSB with 5.0 & 3.55 is within a tenth or two at the track, gets the same MPG in real world driving, and can be had for $24K. That's what I bought.

So, Does anyone actually know if the sport appearance package is available on the 163" wheelbase?

I agree 2014 STX Scab 5.0 sport/appearance with console and 20's although I am ok with the 331 (lot of highways and 75mph limits out here) couple other options, and I am in it for 28 and change.
