Are Baja and Rock Crawl the only 2 modes where the front camera stays on? So an OBX squatch (for example) would only be able to have it on at a crawl?

Seeing the sway bar disconnect in action is making me rethink the Wildtrak. People say you don’t need it, but It seems like a feature that can prevent plenty of unfortunate situations for an off-road newbie lol

Coming from a basesquatch order, I would have to spend significantly more for a badlands, but if I had a comparable build price-wise, I would def be reconsidering!

Really good video by Exodus 4x4, in the chassis walk around he explains the differences to the Wrangler. However, he says the Sway Bar Disconnect is just like the Rubicon. We need to educate him on the difference, if they are reading this thread? The Bronco Badlands Sway Bar Disconnect is hydraulic, unlike the Rubicon which is electric. The Badlands can be engaged on uneven ground, unlike the Rubicon.

There is a deep dive here:

Those tires are also larger than Sasquatch tires. They're a true 35" tire. Most 315's are closer to 34".
Not going to be much of a difference. The KM3's in that size are 34.5" Most 315's will run anywhere from 34.4 to 34.7". In fact a KM3 315 17 will run 34.4"

I wonder if the ride quality is going to be as good with the standard suspension included on the lower and unsquatched trims. Do the Bilstein dampers make that big of a difference? All the ride-along stuff is on Badlands suspension...I wonder if there's a reason for that.
Yes, the Bilstein dampers make a big difference, here is a deep dive.

What’s the difference between sand and Baja mode?

Base Sasquatch guy wondering.

I figure just put it in sand mode and gas it.

Okay I have to admit, after the first KOH ride along video I started thinking I might want a BL over the OBX build I had.

But now after this video I'm ABSOLUTELY switching to a 2.7 BL.

I am sure the "just like" comment was simply regarding basic function, as in they both disconnect the two sides of the bar. They discussed the technical and operational differences at length later in the video after using it on the ride.

If it’s like their other vehicles it will be a noticeable improvement. But the Ford performance parts suspension upgrade should get it there for less than a trim switch.
Can this upgrade be included in initial order, factory installed? I saw the thread with the accessories list etc, never really took a deep dive on what was available or when.

Its probably something people might want to think about depending on what your plan is on use .The bilstein dampers with End stop valve is probably a better suspension set up for high speed desert raceing smoother over humps and ridges and mayebe a advantage in rock crawling .Standard suspension with out the End stop valve will probably make the ride rougher and harsher if useing for the above situations but for anything else the ride quilty should be good.
