Ford thinks it must be. Plus you get the rear dual exhaust in the bumper.

Tariffs. Increased steel and aluminum prices being passed through as advertised.

Aluminum cost has generally been on the increase in the last 3 years. However it's nearly same price as it was 5 years ago.

Yes, tariffs cost money but it's a few dollars per truck. Not the ~$1,000 or so for the price increase.

As an example of the cost of steel tariffs, we're currently building a 65,000 SF 3-story building for a school and it's a steel structure. Total impact of tariffs on the $32,000,000 budget (steel structure, plumbing, electrical) was $150,000.

It's not a few dollars, the XL increases are most likely right on the money. The others are due to engine differences and trim additions.

Here is a thought... use US steel and aluminum to avoid the tariffs.

I wonder if these increases are based off of the latest prices of the 2018, or the original prices? When I bought mine in Feb some newer builds were about $250 more base price than ones a couple months older

I agree, I don't see this all falling on tariffs, Ford announced plans to cut production on most of it's cars before the tariffs were even discussed.
