I wrestled with the same decision but decided to go with 33s" on a 2-door BL. I have seen both up close in person. The 33s look bigger / better in person than in pics; translation: they look really good! The 35s look really badass but slightly "over the top" IMO (on a 2-door). Even if I was...
Haha, those pictures are not flattering, for sure, but I have seen several 4-door BDs in person (granted not with top off) and trust me, it looks good in person ... However, it looks REALLY good in Sasquatch guise!
Yeah, 2021 Explorer 4x4 XLT with 2.3L here - we averaged 24.1 round trip to Florida and back with 600 lbs. in passengers, 300 in gear and including buzzing around south Florida for 2 weeks.
Not sure if these pics will help. They are not side-by-side, but they were in the same parking lot so I looked at them moments apart. When I saw the Badlands, I thought "Man, that looks great"; when I saw the Sas, I thought "Man, that looks f'n awesome and totally badass", haha!
Yeah this looks about right. I could be wrong about this, but I think that A-Plan is .3 below invoice. My build's invoice came to 96.38% (of MSRP) minus .3% = 93.38%, or 6.6% off MSRP.
LadyBronco, you're going to have to call them. I had to send them the info from this forum (LOL!) to them to get them to react and advise on 'next steps'. Good luck!
Luckily I get A-Plan! Working with Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor. If any of you can make it to the Dearborn PD campus, ... today there were 4 Broncos in the parking lot just south of the Product Development Center (or what's left of it - it's being demolished) on the south side of Military (SW...
@Mattwings, thanks for the great, very detailed pics. Seeing the crash bars up close, do you think 285/70/17 (32.7") tires can be fitted in the wheel well without rubbing and modifying the crash bars?
Yeah, I am pretty impressed. Ride is good for what it is; handling, steering, and body roll are better than expected. Haven' driven it in any snow yet so can't really assess 4x4. Build quality seems pretty good for the class. Enjoy!
Picked up my Big Bend Sport last week. Even here in MI, people are staring at it and asking me if it's the "real" Bronco, lol. Honestly, I don't think the 1.5L is that bad .... although I haven't driven the 2.0L to compare....
I am leaning toward Wildtrak (at least today, who knows about tomorrow!). I love the black accents, fog lights, ability to get a step board right from the factory (wife needs this) and I actually kind of like the interior. Plus I can add floor mats and neoprene seat covers to protect against the...
Man, this FE looks great, but it's got me thinking again that the 35" tires are a tad too big for the 2-door. Maybe it's just the camera angle of the first photo? Wish I could just make up my damn mind...
Leaning this way as well. I prefer the MGV but actually kind of like the WT seats. Love the black accents. If I don't get the modular hardtop later, I would run the black softtop on it most of the year anyway.
Do you guys know: If I get a BL, then later decide to put 315/70/17 tires on it, can I do that without any additional modifications? .... I know the rims are 8" (versus 8.5"), and I lose an inch or so of lift, correct, due to Sasquatch's longer springs? Anything else I am missing?
