Base vs. Badlands Dilemma. Please read then vote!

[BoolooBronco]

Hello all, I have a 2 DR BL on order with a 10/30 reservation. Mid/Sas/Tow.

I have compiled a list of what I would be giving up if I switched to a base (other than Mid package content). This is partly me wanting a smaller payment and a bronco sooner. I don't need a Bronco for anything, but I'm getting antsy.

I have driven a 4 DR. Next week I should see and drive a 2 DR for the first time.
I'm also interested in what the options for 2022 will be.

Please vote and I will take it into consideration.

With Ford, and Webasto supposedly having the MIC top fiasco settled I not sure you will get your Bronco any sooner sitting on 10/30 reservation. I'm a 10/04 reservation, and let's face it, we're way down the sidewalk, around the corner, and down the road from the masses that reserved before us. So, really it's up to you to get the Bronco you want. After waiting so long you certainly do not want to be driving the wrong Bronco down the road, and thinking I wish.........Good luck with that decision.

I'm going with a Badlands. 2-door, MT, MGV, Lux. Heated seats are a deal-breaker for me. I live in Chicago. And I want ACC. Don't compromise; you will never forgive yourself.

Do you plan on off-roading in any serious fashion or is this more of a daily driver? Hard to vote without knowing that for sure. If you plan on off-roading.. the Badlands all day.

I would like to, but I don't know if it will often enough or intense enough to justify the BL.

Thats a lot of cheddar for features you may never use..

Switch to Base. My res is about your same time and I don't want you poaching my build.

Either way if you’re going Sasquatch, in the end you give up extra armor, rock rails and mod bumpers (if you don’t order it). Tow package isn’t anything special and can be added at u haul or any truck accessories shop. Best bang for the bunk is the Base if the frills inside aren’t an issue for you. I switched from bd to base, got Sasquatch w manual (or at least I will when banks open) added mod bumper and I’m still cheaper than my standard bd. I’ll add rails and tow package aftermarket and still be ahead. The frills are really the deciding factor.

Don’t forget, your 2k discount is below invoice, not MSRP if that is what you are using.

I was BaseManSquatch until they moved it to 22, decided then to switch to Badlands to get in 21. Well……looks like I might switch back to ManBaseSquatch. Picked up Mid to deal with MGV in the winter but with cloth seats it’s not needed IMO. I do not plan on doing any rock climbing so the sway bar disconnect isn’t a priority. Would rather have the sporty goat. Wouldn’t mind the auto AC or auto locks but…….will save 10k.

 

[RagnarKon]

I am in a similar situation.

Have a Badlands Lux on order, but honestly I don’t need the sway bar disconnect. Don’t get me wrong… it’s super cool feature, but I don’t need it.

I’m also looking at the mid/high/lux packages and realizing I don’t care about 80% of the features, and the other 20% are really just “nice-to-haves”. For example… is adaptive cruise control nice to have? Absolutely. Does it make sense to spend $2500 over the high package just so I don’t have to press the brake or gas pedal as often? Eh… probably not.

So once MY2022 hits I’ll probably drop down to *at least* Black Diamond. Probably will go all the way down to base. But waiting to see what the MY2022 features are before I make a decision.

This is where my thoughts are right now.

Wouldn't it be something if the green for 2022 was only available for base?
