XLT Sport Group

**Flounder** · 10-21-2000, 03:04 PM

I was at the Ford Dealer today and looked at an XLT Sport Group vs. an Eddie Bauer. In my opinion the XLT is nicer. Yeah, there's no heated leather seats with power lumbar support. But there are 6 way power leathers with manual lumbar support. I like the gray trim against the Wedgewood Blue vs. the Tan (Gold?) on the EB.

I spoke to the gentleman who came right over when he saw me looking (they're damn quick, aren't they?) and he said that you can get rear load leveling and a reverse sensing system like the Eddie Bauers.

What color is the trim on the outside? Is it Medium or Dark Graphite? I think it'd look spiffy if it matched the interior.

I just finished playing on the Build your own Ford site and have a total of $36,210 without tax, tags for what I wanted, including a V8 with 3.73LS, Trailer Tow prep (I'd opt for a Hidden Hitch Class 5 after purchase), Deep Wedgewood Blue with undecided Gray interior (medium or dark), the nifty autodim mirror, Side airbags, Moonroof, Travelink (my XLT now actually uses the "Garage" button on the overhead console since I don't have a moonroof), Rear load leveling, and skid plates. The reverse sensing is a cool feature, but I am not crazy about those little holes with chrome trim. They could have integrated them into the bumper nicer. Maybe it could be a project for me to fix it?

Anyways guys, sorry for the going on and on, just wanted to say that tjose XLT Sports are nice.
