Wildtrak wheels and tires on my non-sas ā23 Badlands. All I did was remove the crash bar extensions and traded someone for the Sasquatch fender flares. I did adjust the speedo with Forscan too.
After selling my OEM Badlands wheels, it cost me less than $500 and about an hours worth of time...
The certificate was tied to my order along with the model year certificate(~$2100). I seem to remember there was a pretty short window from when they offered that credit.
My dealer did not honor the mid-year price protection though, which Iām still salty about.
Theyāre both great colors, 2 of the best IMO.
With that said, get the engine you want. There should be plenty of opportunities to test drive both. For me it was a stark difference between the two. The 2.7 felt more responsive and was just more fun to drive as a daily driver.
People are...
The loss of the zone lighting feature is very frustrating. I used that quite a bit for camp and additional random site lighting. It made the otherwise relatively useless side mirror ditch lights useful. It was also a great party trick!
I went a similar route but stopped and didnāt change out the non-SAS suspension. I bought brand new Wildtrak takeoffs and fender flares and sold my stock BL wheels and flares. All in about a net $400 swap.
I donāt think you can go wrong with any scenario, the stock Sasquatch is a great package...
I have the same experience. Iāve had the Bronco about 14 months, and Iāve always had very clear conversations on both sides of the phone even with the top off or back.
What I have noticed is the whole Ford Sync seems to be getting buggier and less reliable. I have to do a hard reset every 3-4...
Youād have to walk around the tailgate every single time if the handle wasnāt on the Driverās side. I know it would drive me nuts if it was on the other side.
Nothing to do with color, I just really donāt like the aesthetics of the headlights or the lighted bar across the front. Theyāre obviously popular, just not my style at all.
I took the $2500 (+$695) credit and bought a brand new hardtop take off locally for $5000. Ended up getting scheduled right away so I basically received dual tops for $1800.
I love having both OEM tops. A fully retractable soft top is key during the summer months and the modularity of the OEM...
Itās a blast to drive. 11,000 miles in and I havenāt had a single problem as a daily driver. I have both tops, neither are quiet, but that comes with the territory of a removable top. The pros far outweigh the cons.
I have a factory hard top and soft top. The hard top doesnāt creak or leak at all. The hard top looks a lot better and is also quite a bit quieter than the soft top. Itās been great for the fall and winter months.
That said, I canāt wait to get my soft top back on this spring so I can enjoy...
Iām guessing itās also a 2.3L because you canāt get the factory roof rack on the 2.7L 4-door Badlands.
They could have always added it after delivery too.
I have not, I was just commenting on the premise of the OPās concern. If their Bronco actually depreciated more than the negotiated residual value on their lease, thatās a good thing. The lender eats the additional depreciation. Buy it, or another vehicle at the lower value.
As to the actual...
This is a good scenario if you leased. Nothing is āunderwaterā. Lease again or negotiate to purchase the vehicle at market value. In any scenario, you paid less depreciation than actual during the term.
