Hi-
Haven't done much off-roading so could use recommendations from more experienced off-roaders/adventurers. We just got back from the Austin Off-Roadeo, which was great and definitely inspired us to hit the trails (whenever we do get our hands on our order - now in MY2022)!
I'm conflicted over whether to get the 2.3L or the 2.7L with the 2022 4-door Badlands with Sasquatch package. We definitely plan on a roof rack as we want to get a roof-top tent, but not sure if it makes sense to go with the 2.7L and wait for aftermarket roof rack options or just go with the 2.3L engine and the Ford rack.
Realistically, we won't be hitting aggressive off-roading very often, despite the absolute blast we had at Off-Roadeo. So don't know if we need the additional horsepower and torque with the 2.7L. Have heard some of the chatter about possible racks for the 4-door SAS 2.7L, but nothing concrete.
Corey, our instructor/guide at Off-Roadeo, said he thought the 2.3L would be more than sufficient. Any thoughts or recommendations would be very appreciated...
Thanks!
