There is a long list of minor improvements that the 2017+ limited performance pack model offers over your 2014 premium. I generally feel like the non facelift owners tend to underestimate them and say things like, "You can add all of those features for only 5k and 40 hours of your time." The fact is that most owners probably can't tackle jobs like adding keyless entry, brembos, or sachs dampers. It would be a difficult conversion and your car would barely gain any value because at the end of the day... it's still a 2014.
That being said, it probably wouldn't worth upgrading to a 2019 or 2020. You'd still be better off waiting a few more months to find out whether or not the 2nd gen will be released for the 2021 model year. If it looks like the 2nd gen will take another year or 2, check out the "price paid" thread and buy a new 2019. You should definitely be able to pick one up for under 28k. Or... maybe a 2017 for under 23k. |

and to be fair, i can add all of those things, though i dispute the costs and ease. i actively researched adding keyless ignition to my ranger because i like not having to dig out the key in the car, but wasn't happy with the bulky key fobs the aftermarket systems offered. i'm nit-picky. brakes and suspension are already on my to-do list, though i see no benefit to getting the oem iterations, as the aftermarket offers more adjust-ability.

i had a screen nearly 15 years ago as part of my car computer setup, back when in-dash screen stereo's still cost thousands. i've moved beyond that. i've never wanted steering wheel controls, ever. the radio is that close, there's no need for it.

I paid way less for a new 19 with PP. Don’t buy a used one for 28k, you can get a new one for around 26500.
