Nice, but it costs as much as my 18 Platinum!

 

Is this really what 50k USD gets you now? I get it's a power boost but damn, steelies?

 

If he paid what he said he did, he should have went X-Plan.

 

LOL no kidding, especially on a special order.

 

I was little surprised the payload is only 17xx lbs. that’s only 150 more then my 18 502A lariat with moonroof and deploying steps.

 

X2 i thought the payload would have been more mine's 2019 Crew Cab 4X4 with 3.5 EB and Max Tow Package is 1,903 lbs !!

 

Now we know how much payload the electric motor and batteries eat up. It's still a pretty good payload, for a hybrid. I'm more curious what the actual MPG will be.

 

The price seems about right given that its a top tier engine. He could have paid that much and gotten a 5.0, an STX package or even XLT, etc. But he got what he wanted which was more towing power and the PowerBoost. They are also not secret about their love of steel wheels on that show. I think all things considered, it's about right. Someone said it was as much as their '18 Platinum, while I have some doubts on that, there aren't many incentives on '21s. If he waited until later this year he could have gotten it for closer to 40. But sometimes you pay to play.

 

That’s the thing. As much as I love the power boost it sounds like it eats up about 300-400lbs of weight. At the same time the standard ECO boost is rated to tow more then the power boost. Lastly 51 for a platinum?? Is that with incentives?

 

Thats what I paid for it. 51K and change, plus TTL of course. I paid under invoice for it.
