2023 Badlands Built second thoughts

[mwcandy]

My 2023 badlands Sasquatch carbon grey with Lux and tow..all the bells and whistles just got built. Everything I’m reading is the wildtrak is the way to go. I’m surrounded by beaches and looking forward to learn to rock crawl someday. Do I give up my order and hope I can get a wildtrak built the same ? Is hoss 3.0 that much better? Any inputs from the current owners?
Thank You in advance for your time.

Who has been telling you lies?

yea who has been telling you "wildtrak" stories

Badlands. The HOSS 3.0 is nice, Fox shocks, and the upgraded steering. But there are quite a few things you do not get as well.

For your stated purpose, the BL will do quite well. You will be happy with it.

^^^^^^^There's your problem right there. Listening to what people tell you "you need" on B6G. Hard pass for me on that.

So just to talk you off the ledge a bit, either rig will probably far exceed your needs. Levittown? Birthplace of the modern suburb? I know its Long Island and what not so there is beaches, but it is not MOAB or the desert southwest. The way I see it is.... if the Badlands is already on order, or on its way to your dealer, why not go check it out before you give up on it? It is a seriously capable rig with more than 99% of buyers will ever need. The interior is unique, and well suited to your uses.

Just my 2 cents. Badlands FTW!!!!

A bird in the hand, man. What you're saying fits perfectly well into the Badlands mold. Wildtrak's are nice, and HOSS 3.0 is great if you have specific use cases, but generally they're very similar for 99% of what you're going to do. Don't lose out to FOMO.

Why stop at HOSS 3.0?

step up to the Bronco Raptor and get the HOSS 4.0.

It ain't called the Badlands for nothin'. It'll tackle all environments. Don't sweat it.

Thank You in advance for your time.

I have the exact same Badlands Sasquatch in cactus gray. It’s stock save winch, rock rails and onboard air. You will not be disappointed. Its easy to start down the rabbit hole of what’s better and better. I’ve had mine on several Moab Jeep badge of honor trails, others in Georgia and North Carolina. And I can’t forget Death Valley and Sand Hollow State Park in Utah. Its never let me down. I even like the reviled stock Goodyear 35” tires. They only thing I don’t do with mine is play in the mud when I don’t need to.

In summary, what you have ordered is an amazing vehicle that will give you many hours of enjoyment. Personally, I like the creature comforts and added safety features of leather seats and Lux. Don’t second guess yourself. Just be patient and wait for it. You won’t be sorry.
