When I purchased my 2015 XLT on Black Friday, the salesmen I was working with had only been selling cars for 3 weeks. As you can imagine, the dealer was also busy as hell on Black Friday and we had to wait 30 minutes just to talk with a salesmen. I told him that I wanted a black XLT and they had one left on the lot so I test drove it and then when we got back from the test drive, I parked it in the same spot. The salesmen started showing us the truck and he pressed the button on the remote to show us the power lift gate. This was a bad idea as there was a light pole directly behind the truck. The lift gate ended up hitting the pole and getting a nick in the paint. I then said I don't want this truck anymore. Since I knew it was the last black XLT, I noticed a dark grey Limited on the lot so I told him I think I liked that color even more and asked if they had an XLT in that color. He didn't think so but checked anyway. He came driving around in one and said it had just came in 1 hour ago. I noticed it had the 20" wheels and also said "Explorer" across the hood. I asked him how much and he said it was the same price as the Black one. I said I'll take it!!! Not only did this XLT have the appearance package but it also had the Navigation. It had every option you could get on the XLT. Keep in mind, the initial black XLT had none of these extras yet he said it was the same price. I signed the paper work and took it home that night. The next day when I brought the spare keys up for the vehicle I traded in, the manager approached my wife and I explained that the salesmen was new and didn't take the upgraded packages into account when working up the final cost. I stopped him before he could even finish and said......"Too late now!!!!" The manager then said....."I guess that's it" and then walked away. What did he think I was going to say? Did he think I was going to tell him I'd be more than happy to dish out another few thousand dollars?
Anyway, I think the OEM 20" wheels look great ( especially since the color on the wheels match the dark grey body color) and the upholstery for the seats is top notch. I love the leather seats with the white stitching and suede in the middle. Some of the best looking seats I've seen. The appearance package was worth every penny =)
