Slate Starter Packs: Prices, Themes, and What They Actually Cost
Slate introduced pre-built "starter pack" configurations this week, bundling wraps, decals, and accessories around a theme. Most price out under $29,000, though one listed pack runs higher once destination is added.

Slate sent reservation holders an email this week introducing “starter packs,” a new way to shop the truck’s accessory catalog without building a configuration from scratch. Instead of picking wraps, decals, wheels, and add-ons piece by piece, buyers can now choose from a set of pre-assembled looks and start from there.
The pitch is straightforward. Slate’s tagline for the launch is “Big Looks. Not So Big Price,” and the company frames the packs as a way to stand out without piling on cost. Since the Blank Slate starts at $24,950, the packs are built to sit close to that number, with each one bundling a mix of wraps, decals, lighting, wheels, or interior touches around a theme.
Ten packs currently sit in Slate’s “Wallet-Friendly” grouping on the starter packs page:
- Baja Blaze: $25,569.94
- Over Easy: $25,549.96
- Laser Tag: $25,654.90
- All Green Flags: $25,989.93
- Third Eye: $25,954.93
- Rally Point: $26,259.88
- Base Camp: $26,774.88
- Fresh Kicks: $27,184.86
- Lucky Streak: $28,354.88
- Concrete Camo: $31,004.90
Beyond the wallet-friendly lineup, Slate also lists packs in other categories like Built for Fun, Keep it Sharp, Work-Ready, and Turned Up, aimed at different use cases from off-roading to job sites, though those aren’t priced as part of the sub-$29K grouping.
One thing worth flagging for anyone doing math against a $300 deposit: the packs listed above don’t include destination and a few other fees. Adding those in, most of the wallet-friendly packs stay under $29,000, but two don’t: Lucky Streak comes in at $29,804.88, and Concrete Camo lands closer to $32,450, both above the range the email advertises. It’s a reminder that the sticker prices in Slate’s marketing lean on the base MSRP language, and the real out-the-door number depends on the specific pack, plus the $1,450 destination charge and any taxes, title, and fees that vary by state.

For reservation holders, the practical value here is less about the marketing framing and more about what it signals. Slate is trying to make the configurator less intimidating by giving people a starting point instead of a blank canvas, which tracks with the company’s broader emphasis on affordability and personalization over horsepower or range specs, a philosophy we’ve covered before: colors, accessories, and body style all stay open decisions well past delivery day. It’s also the second accessory-focused push in recent weeks, following the Crayola wrap collaboration announced earlier in July, suggesting Slate plans to keep using the accessory catalog as a way to stay in reservation holders’ inboxes ahead of the Q1-Q2 2027 production ramp.
Anyone shopping a specific pack should treat the configurator’s final checkout total, not the marketing email, as the source of truth before locking in a build.
