My test drive review of the 2 door Wildtrak

[BBSBronco]

I'm glad we're finally getting 2-door reviews and impressions. I can't wait to get my BD.

I dropped the cloth in favor of the leather but that actually doesn’t look that bad. How did they feel?

It looks more gray to me than tan, which is what I had hoped. I will be happy with it!

If my dealer asks me to kill a few sins, seems like I’d be okay with dropping leather for the cloth

That velocity blue looks really nice. My build color is white right now cause I think it looks clean, but I'm torn because white is kinda a boring color and I want something a little more interesting.

Only thing I may change is the color. Plan on adding aftermarket sliders/rails. I like the comfort of cloth and have no issues with the WT interior whatsoever.

Ditto on the rock sliders. Mentioned in an accessories thread I want that automatic step/rock slider set up

White really pops on the WT with the black trim and decals. My only hangup with it is every other vehicle out there seems to be white.

Thread on here shows a YouTube vid with the white WT. definitely pops

So and big-tire-wanderlust at 70mph?

Wondering how those 315’s behave on the highway.

never got to 70 but i think i hit 65

however it felt fine at high speed

Baja mode then switch to 2W high... should behave like sport... at least that’s what I’m hoping. Thanks for the write up and congrats

One thing about the cloth is that it is supposedly made from water resistant material. When I went to view the Bronco back in May I searched out a cloth Sport to sit in and it is indeed not your traditional cloth. Different vehicle, but I assume they use the same material.

I will admit that this writeup and photos are causing me to reevaluate my entire build.

That blue looks awesome. Would you say that the blue in the photos looks close to real life? Did the camera mess with the color much?

I'm a badlands in area 51 right now with lux. I don't anticipate doing the rock crawling type of driving where a sway bar disconnect would be critical. I really wanted the MGV seats and the radar cruise. I was focused on the MGV seats because I have 2 young boys and with the removable top, this is our adventure and get super dirty truck. Also, because in the mid 80s when I was a kid I spilled a BBQ sauce packet from McDonalds in the back of my mom's Ford Tempo with cloth seats and it never came out. Ever. Same exact square solid stain blob thing was there 5 or 10 years later when my mom finally got rid of that car. I don't want to experience the same thing. Also, I thought the Wildtrack cloth was ugly.

This cloth doesn't look as ugly as in the online build tool. Can anyone who has experienced the wildtrack in person comment on its anticipated BBQ sauce resistance?

The blue looks amazing, I took the pictures with my relatively new iphone and thats exactly what it looked like with afternoon sun.

If you want a boy proof car i would stick with MGV

not only will it likely be stain resistant , but also be very easy to repair if any tears/stabs occur (youtube search vinyl repair)

I dont think there will be much difference between the badlands and the wildtrack other than the swaybar , but having seen videos , unless you are doing serious rock crawling or really messy trails the wildtrack will take you there. Most likely faster with better gas milage too since there is no armor weighing down the car

This VB looks amazing but I’m biased and going with white on my WT. Both look great!
