How many 350Rs does one need?? That is the eternal question. Of course, like any true car nut, I can almost consider a base R as something justifiably different than my 2020 R.

Hello, my name is John and I have a problem.

Ahhh, I remember when this car, JR368, was for sale back in 2021. I tried to do a even swap with the selling dealer (Groove Ford) with my LR215, even when the prices were cuckoo, but they still wouldn't unless I added money. Sure would've been nice, but I've also enjoyed LR215.
What about your 2020 made is not as desirable to you, or as valuable to the selling dealer of the 2018 base car? I'd think that's an easy trade with the 2020 being more desirable to the average R buyer.

I wanted (want) a base vs 2020 to own the most visceral experience possible, and I like the rarity factor. I hardly use the A/C and the audio is used here and there. The dealer just wanted to make as much money as possible of course, even though the 2020 would've been an easy sell back then at 78.6k.

With your awesome new garage you need a Base R without question.

Just within the last 3 weeks a couple of car buddies reached out to me regarding letting their units go and believe each vehicle has ~20 miles on the odometer.

Good luck going forward!
Any of those guys own your previous Ruby Red Base R? Which colors are they? PM if necessary.

Base R owners, do your cars have this USB port completely empty like mine? I know it's not supposed to have a USB, but I thought Ford may have filled the void on some cars.

I've also noticed some of us have this trunk lock trim piece in place, while other cars it's completely gone. Mine is gone. You all?

Not the greatest picture of my USB port but in any event if you expand it you will see that it has a plug in place which is different from your picture.

Have also attached pictures of the trunk lock trim pieces missing from HR019 and JR157.

Also remember GR107 also coming the same way which came without the trunk lock trim pieces.

This is from WranglerX's 91 mile BaT 2017 car. Anyone think that plug is a Ford part with a part #?

Interesting to hear that the original owner of JR394 sold his car and very surprised to find out that he let it go?

Any idea when the new owner took possession of JR394?
Pretty sure @ltcolton is the original owner of JR394 and still owns the car. Per conversing with him recently, JR394 has been a garage queen for the last few years and he has obtained a letter from Ford that confirms JR394 is the last Base R.
