I have a non saquatch badlands 4 dr lux. The 7 speed shifts well and does great in mountains. I live in Colorado. Love the 4:70 gears and lockers. Also now getting 21mpg.
I have a 22 badlands with the 7 speed. It is flawless so far . It shifts well and no weird noises. The crawl gear is awesome . It reminds me of my old 71 bronco after the np435 swap. I love a granny gear.
I feel your pain. I reserved in july 2020ordered and reordered. I did get a vin in july 22 and built 8/8 to 8 /10 then a chip hold. It was finished 9/26and shipped to Denver. I picked it up at msrp no hassles yeah Littleton autonation Ford. It is so much fun to drive. 4dr, area 51, lux...
I reserved in July 2020, first ordered early March 2021, reordered in Oct. 2021. Then wait an exercise in patience through many avoidable pitfalls. July 2022 got a VIN. Build week 8/8 and finished 8/10, but then a chip hold. Finished 9/26. Then more testing. Shipped by rail 9/29. Now more...
I am 8/8 build week and in production since 8/10. I have modules and a tear tag listed. The dealers internet manager says the best he can tell its waiting for chips/modules. No idea how long this will take.
I am a July26 reservation holder. 21 model yr converted to 22 in Oct last yr. 4 dr Badlands 2.3 manual transmission, and a few hard to get items. No idea of a build date . Dealer has no idea or won't share either. Guess could still get a 22 idk. Very frustrating
