Wildtrak Bronco Thread

[scotts418]

I set my reservation up for a Wildtrak, but like everyone else I've been playing with Build and Price for hours each day, cross shopping the other trims, packages and accessories. I came across the BL and wasn't able to add the sound deadening headliner with the 2.7. I'm assuming its just a glitch as its the same combo on the Wildtrak, but who knows.

This is going to be my daily driver, 20k miles every year, if not more. I love the look of the Wildtrak and the "standard" features(2.7, 10spd, SAS), I want the normal comforts I'd expect in a $50k+ vehicle(leather, heated seats, wireless charging etc). So I option it as I like and it comes in just a tick under $60k. Really pushing the limit for a truck that I'll probably never drive down more than a gravel road. But at the same time I can't stand the boring soccer wagon looks of sooo many other crossover SUVs.

The Badlands configured in a similar manner comes in just a hair shy of the Wildtrak. I'm struggling to justify the SAS as a daily driver- with on-road handling, comfort and noise a concern. Its starting to seem more and more unrealistic to make the Wildtrak a daily driver, I really want to start seeing some full reviews BEFORE the order date goes live.

I found a YouTube video that has a good look at the stance (see below) of the badlands on 33’s and while I agree, Sasquatch looks better, I think these wheels and tires look great even if they’re on the 4-door and should make for a better daily driver. Mine will also be getting a lot of miles so if you decide to skip Sasquatch, I don’t think you’ll be too unhappy with 33’s.

When you've selected 33 mud tires and then try to add on a hardtop it wants you to add the Sasquatch pkg. It is nuts on the whole thing. anothe model seen also other scenarios like have Sasquatch then try to add a hardtop but it won't let you and wants do drop Sasquatch pkg,

Ludicrous!!!!! So disorganized!

Nuts....trying to build a BL......how ridicules is this? Add 2.7L and it drops a bunch of options.

WHY?

So basically, you can't have this set up?

Nope................you think they messed up in the US site.......Canada It's all backwards so messed up!

Nice Picture and rig set up!

I think you can but only if you do the 2.3l engine (which is what Overland concept has). But regardless, how sound deadening isn’t allowed on badlands but is on wildtrak makes zero sense.

Yeah on the 4 door you can't do it in the BL but on the two door you can get 2.7 with sound deadening roof panels and Sasquatch!

Man they really made a big mess on all this!

try building an outerbanks to the specs you need or want. you can get sound deadening on the hardtop

Decked out an BL 2.7L and even without the Sasquatch lift and 35" tires it was still $3000.00 more!

Been thinking of Line-X since the MIC top announcement. I've seen a number of builds with this product at SEMA for years. Applicators and owners seem to praise this product for numerous reasons including durability and longevity. Even if you get a chip, it should be easy to patch as DIY....plenty of colors - just won't get a gloss finish

Line-X agent replied back to my email........initial quote for the two roof panels and back cab cap to do "Protective Coating" which is thinner application of the same Line-x.........they said $1000.00CAN Figure it would be more but I'm getting it re-confirmed.
Exciting.......

Nice...appreciate the front-end investigative work, Sherlock . $1000CAN equates to roughly $760USD. I can work with that in order to help solidify a 1st year G6 delivery. Not overly worried about the removable rear hatch windows on the painted modular top (the only other noticeable difference I can see) since the dogs would be in the back seat anyway... nor the concern about adding more weight to the GVWR as I have seen other posts describing the MIC weighing less than the modular.... https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/mic-vs-modular-top.6096/page-3#post-273928

Issue regarding the top solved for me. Next up, seats and how to economically ventilate the fronts (a need in AZ) for under the cost of adding the Ford leather option (want power seats, but don't need).
Thanks again.

While $1000 is a fair chunk of $$, I'm wondering what the option price for a white roof will be. More than $1000 I'm guessing. This might be just the way to go for those of us who want a white modular roof. Adds weight, yes, but is it worth considering? I think so.
