You don’t crawl under a Rubicon either, unless it’s broken I guess. You just push a button and wait.

I'm from Texas as well and I originally ordered the Wildtrak but will be switching to the Badlands for a couple of reasons.
1) Badlands comes with armor and steel bumpers - Wildtrak does not
2) Badlands comes with a couple more drive modes -
3) Wildtrak doesn't advertise that it has drain plugs nor the vinyl seats - I prefer both.
4) Badlands has the front disco sway bar. No mention of the Wildtrak having it.
4) Wildtrak is a grammatically incorrect spelling - sounds/spelled too hipster for me.
2.7 Badlands with Squatch and Lux for me. Add rock rails and it's pretty well sorted from the factory and 100% under warranty. Dealer can't even complain that your bigger tires caused ball joint issues!
Wildtrak almost seems like a pre-warthog (raptor Bronco) but not really.

Add a hard top too. I've yet to meet a Texas soft-top owner that didn't regret not splurging on one.
I'm seriously considering the dual tops. I love the hardtop during the summer and trips, but October to April - softtop might be nice . . . or a bikini top aftermarket.

That Sasquatch comes with taller gears in the rearend and larger tires. That will hurt gas mileage vs the standard Badlands. How much? I dunno.

I'm hoping the dropping of the Lux gets me a hair under 50.

I don’t daily drive my personal vehicle. Sometimes go a week without moving it. Not too worried about fuel mileage.

OpenAir25, however, is.
Yes, I am going to daily drive it. I do not really have to, but I enjoy driving a fun daily driver
I bet the gas mileage will not take too big of a hit.

Yup, and by the time it's time to order, we'll have the order guides out and a full option list to figure out exactly what we want.
We have at least one member reporting that they were told they cannot change trim/series. Just within that specific trim/series. Wish this were clearer / spelled out!
