Why all the hate on the OBX?

[Tdifonzo]

I picked OBX on launch day and have stuck with it. It’s without a doubt the best bang for your buck. At least for the $1,000 under invoice deal I’m getting.

-2.7L
-Lux
-Leather
-Rear locker
-4 Auto drivetrain

…all for $47.5k. You can’t beat that. Those same options on a Badlands is well over $50k. Now actually getting it delivered is a different story. Lol

I don't hate the OB. I mostly question what you are actually getting for an extra $10,500 over a Base.

18" rims, but still has crappy P-rated tires.
Heated Seats (Nice if you live where is snows I guess - call me when I can get butt coolers)
Body colored fenders, door handles, and mirrors.
Mid Package

You get a much better color selection though.

For me, the value for money seems... lacking somehow.

I'd rather buy a Base and upgrade just what I want, or get the Badlands with all the goodies.

Guess that's why they made so many models because everyone can have an opinion.

Not quite sure. But the black on roast interior OBX running around at the road shows looks stellar. I stepped down from a loaded wildtrak to an OBX and built it back up to a wildtrak.

i took a step back and said forget the budget. It’s a long wait. What is the most beautiful bronco money could buy. Forget resale, just go for it.

I landed at an OBX Sasquatch AMB on roast w lux. Silver dash. Proper grille. Nicer interior. Matching mirrors and handles but unpainted sas flares to match the top. Silver accents on the wheels. To me, it’s the holy grail - sas stance exterior on OBX interior, coupled with midnight blue on roast. No other combination of trim or colors holds a candle to this build. I wouldn’t swap with an FE if I could....But of course I’m incredibly partial. lol.

Ya know....I did not consider it at all. But I really like the cloth seats especially the blue. I think the name suits it well. It’s a little fancy, but still fun and adventurous like the Outer Banks is.

people hate the OBX because some people just need to hate on something or be pissed off at something. IE: no v8's, 2dr vs 4dr, no green paint. they just can't let other people have their own opinion and let it be at that. or they can never be satisfied with what is offered.

If my sister paid attention, Im sure she'd of gotten an OBX

instead, shes gonna get herself a CX5 most likely once her current lease is up in 2 months

 

[SnowBronco]

17 pages worth tho?! Lol

I started w/ OBX myself- I candidly fell in love with that damn seductive 12" screen (i.e., I needed the High Pkg) and can't bring myself to leave her sweet, sweet looks. And after adding that, the 2.7, and getting 'squatched, I came to the rather simple conclusion that it's nearly the same price as the WT. For a few hundred more I can get Baja mode! The cloth seats I am going with, regardless of trim, I was planning on getting covers down the road anyhow, so the sandstone didn't make me flinch.

At the end of the day, it's your money, your preference, and dammit you have the right to do what you want. Cheers!

Honestly I wish they had just done three (Base, Black Diamond, and Badlands) and simply allowed a bit more flexibility on upgrades and packages. Keep the Wildtrack as a "Special Edition" like a Boss Mustang.

 

[FrankieBoy11]

I liked OBX, just my personal opinion that the color matched flares and handles don’t look great in many colors. We all have different preferences and perspectives! You do you ?

Once you get the Sasquatch package you have the black fenders. As for the painted handles the Wild Trak and First Edition also have them and no one is bashing them lol Outside of those two things whats to bash on the OB? ITs the same truck that with an option or two is basicallly the Badlands with a nicer grill. lol

I do think it’s kind of weird to buy a SQ OBX, because you loose the most unique feature (painted flares) but I am sure it’s an option availability thing, interior choice?

 

[FrankieBoy11]

I don't hate the OBX per se, I just hate the 18s and the painted Flares on the stock model. Squatch it, and it becomes a damned fine looking beast. That's just me though, and I'm certainly not going to denigrate anyone who likes and is buying a stock OBX.

BINGO! Who cares about painted color fenders if youre gonna have the Sasquatch and itll have the black fenders anyway? An OB with Sasquatch, in my opinion, is the best looking trim on the Bronco.

 

[BroncoTPA]

I personally cannot wait to see our Cactus grey Outerbanks' painted fenders and handles with some old school white wheels and white letter BFGs.

 

[madbaird]

I originally was on the OBX side due to the painted items. My 11 year old FX4 non-painted surfaces look tired and just give it an old look now. Switched to Wildtrak just because of the cost difference when adding squatch was better to go to Wildtrak. Look forward to seeing you at some Bronco meet-ups in Tampa!
