2023 Wildtrak w/ HOSS 3.0 review + comparison to Bilstein suspension

[Drose49]

All 2023 WILDTRAKS Come standard with the HOSS3.0 package. That is why it isn’t shown as an option since it is standard for 23. I just got one of the last 22 to roll off the line that had a 10/28 blend date. I ordered it with HOSS 3.0

Interestingly a few other folks on this subreddit have mentioned the HOSS 3.0 drives better on the road and had less body roll/break diving. That seems different than this video. People probably have different definitions of what's 'a lot' of body roll vs not so much.

I have a 23 Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0. As stated not on the window sticker. I have almost 1,000 miles and I think it rides really good and absorbs the road very well. I live on a narrow windy country road and it handles surprisingly well. I came from a Challenger Scat Pack so I understand a decent handling car. Other than trails and dirt roads no off-roading yet. I am very impressed with the road manners and it’s drivability. We had a Jeep Gladiator and this is much more comfortable and easier to drive.

I watched it. He says the HOSS 3.0 option does not appear anywhere on the window sticker, so you literally have to crawl under to verify the FOX shocks are there. The window sticker for my 23 Wild Trak order finally popped up 2 days ago on the Ford tracker. My window sticker does NOT show the HOSS 3.0 option listed. The order sheet that my dealer gave me did have it listed. I've got a Blend Date of 12/17/2022. Where does it show the Build Date?

Probably because HOSS 3.0 is no longer an "OPTION" for the Wild Trak in 2023 it's standard Equipment

I have to totally agree, I was very suprised on how well my WT handles the curves. I am loving the FOX suspension setup.

Good to hear. I had a 1st edition gladiator. Loved it but it rode like a bucking bronco, so I sold it and now waiting on my bronco,...hopefully not of the bucking variety. My build date (born on date) was yesterday. Now "built". Awaiting shipping info. '23 4d WT, AZM, soft top, cloth, LUX, tow, HD mod.

I liked our Jeep but just not what we wanted with the Bronco. The Gladiator was tight on the inside. The Bronco is much wider, at least it feels that way. The ride was not bad on the Gladiator but the need for constant steering input by the driver is much less on the Bronco. Some of that might be the lane assist in the Ford. I do miss the Dodge products UConnect. Even though it was only an 8.4 inch screen it was very well built and far better intuitive. I also like the steering wheel controls better on the Dodge/Jeep. So far I am happy with the Bronco.

Just a bit off topic but, is it just me or is the parking brake setup looks different than the previous Broncos? It looks like it is flipped upside down.

Same springs as a regular Badlands or does the new Wildtrak Hoss suspension have different springs too?

The recent Broncos I’ve PDI’d recently all have it from the top side. I wonder if there’s a difference between the MT and AT.

different springs, but I’m not sure we know how they differ. Softer? Stiffer?

That was pretty close to a parody video, driving down flat streets, talking about it eating up the bumps, all giddy about a slow transition into the mall parking lot. He should've ended it with 35 clowns exiting the Bronco.

He talks WAY too fast for me- I tuned out.
