Looks good, lucky yours came with a wench, my Everglades only included a winch.

How is is this not getting 1000 likes ?!

I do like the manual transmission but it will be my wife daily driver so 2.7 auto it is. definitely BL with possibly Sasquatch package , definitely Lux package, power seats, black appearance package. Exterior color shadow black tow hitch I want the modular bumper but don’t want to lose the fog lights switch and wiring so many change it later on to retain the switch and wiring. The Bronco will be pretty much loaded and on the build site is a tad over $70,000

Saw a 24 Braptor on my FB feed listed at $79,500. It was about $20k off MSRP. I was thinking you could probably negotiate a $72-75k buy price. I would do that before dumping $70k+ on a Badlands.

Agree with @mpeugeot that Sasquatch on Badlands is a poor bang for the buck. Badlands is the only model you get all the good stuff w/o Squatch. Sure, you get 4.70 gears over 4.46 in the auto but that’s not meaningful enough to justify the cost.

However, on the 25 Badlands, you can option for the Fox suspension that used to be on the WT for about $2,400. But it requires you pick Squatch ($5,000 option). For $7,500 you have better aftermarket options IMO, so it boils down to how much you value warranty and if you like to build or not.

Also do some research on the modular bumper. They’re popular and tough to find in the used market. The $1,000 modular bumper on FP isn’t compatible with sensors, although they say one is “coming soon”. Alternatively you could get the fog light switch and swap those out and achieve the same thing for less money. Just depends how you want to skin the cat.

@KC2LLW here is that Braptor I saw on my FB feed. Looks like their website has listed at $77,500 as it includes a $2,000 Ford rebate. Not sure what strings are needed (if any) to get the $2k but may be worth a phone call.

Wow yeah I guess I’m getting closer in price to a Raptor but that is over kill for what we need. Come to think of it probably the Badlands is too. I’m 63 and a disabled veteran and my wife is 53 and it’s her daily driver, which is a 6 mile round trip to work every day and a 200 mile weekend trip to the farm we can probably get away with a 2.3 auto BD with Sasquatch just for looks. Probably would not need the front locker unless in mud or deep snow both would be at the farm
