Everything Badlands: For Positive and VERY Excited future BL Owners!! Plan & Wait...

[LimitlessTruth]

I can comment on #3 since I have the service already on my Ford Explorer. If you use your phone of the maps option already, there really is no need for the Navigation. Unless, you do plan to be off the grip. Even so, I would still recommend a good GPS system. The Navigation system offer is OK. NOT BAD and NOT great. Hope this helps. After 90 days, you will loose turn by turn support and maybe even live feeds.

Thanks for the reply, having someone with experience helps. The high package comes with some navigation and the 90 day trial. I'll know not to be relying on it much over my phone or a standalone system in the future.

As for the final drive ratio, as I understand it the higher ratio will give you more torque at the wheels at the trade off of lower top end speed. Now I'm probably not entirely on point so I'd read through this link (https://jalopnik.com/crawl-ratios-and-off-road-gearing-everything-youve-eve-1722578417) as I'm sure you'll get more out of it.

Looking forward to really seeing some REAL Velocity Blue Broncos. I hoping that I will get the opportunity to see Velocity Blue next to Area 51 before December.

Count me in!
Finally had time to sit down with B&P today.
While I reserved First Edition and was really excited for it - Badlands is the one for me,
so I’m making the switch when I order. For so many reasons, it’s a no brainer.

I'm set on Badlands and pumped. I'm getting a 4 door but I'm stuck on:

Sasquatch + mid
vs
No sasquatch + lux

Honestly, 4-door looks 100 times better with 35”. Try to get the High Pac. As well. Lol

At the end of the day, the 4 door needs Squatch. You’ll forget about that other stuff.

Can't wait to get my 4 door Badlands. Cactus Gray, Squatch, High trim, and MIC top.

I have decided to go no Sasquatch.
here are my reasons as others have asked for why’s and why not’s

Although I like the look and stance of 35’s I think they still looked stuffed into wheel wells even with Sasquatch, not a big enough difference over standard badlands set up.
Also with B&P showing I can get 4.7 with auto this is all I wanted out of Sasquatch. I check other trims and they all required Sasquatch to get 4.7, badlands was the only one that didn’t
If you plan to go 35’s or larger someday you will want the higher gearing.

like someone else stated I want to see how this suspension performs with no travel limiters

lastly I want to do a 2-4” lift aftermarket and put the wheels and especially the tires that I want. Not a huge fan of any of the tires. General grabbers are a much better A/T tire than BFG in my opinion. But tires wear out and are easy to replace with your personal preference

Just my thoughts to Sasquatch or not

Do you loss a lot velocity /acceleration if you do the 4.7 option. I also plan to stay with 33” but not sure if I want the 4.7. I do not mind the MPG a little being higher. Thanks
