Badlands as Daily Driver?

[noliveaxle]

My wife sold her Daytona 392 and took the 2 door manual badlands. She says it’s a nicer riding vehicle. She drives 30 to 40 minutes each way in so cal traffic. She has no complaints.

I've been dailying my badlands no sasquatch on I-70 and its been a lot better then any jeep I've driven in. Its not as good as a like a sedan like my kia soul. But it's still pretty pleasant. The only thing that annoys me is the road noise. But no matter what bronco you get that will always be a issue.

Never thought of a Kia Soul as a sedan!?!?!?

Feels wrong to call it a compact SUV as it has no real utility past driving from point A to B and maybe getting a few more bags of groceries in the trunk.

My 2 dr manual Badlands no-squat is my dd. I just got it Sat and have filled it up once. It’s great. I will use premium gas and it seems to make a difference. The Bronco feels very nimble. I Love it! This is from someone driving a GT350 daily since 2017.

I almost daily drive my non-SAS BL and the 33 KO2s are very impressive! One or two days a week I still drive my Jeep GC (just to keep her active and to prevent mileage from racking up on the Bronco).

Averaging ~18.5mpg (4dr MIC 2.7), and I'm not babying her....I often cruise around 75-80mph on the highway. I'm sure I could get closer to 19 or 19.5mpg if I cared to. Super easy and enjoyable to drive on the highway. Love the stance and aggressiveness.

Initially ordered an OBX on reveal night, but now I'm so glad to have opted for the BL. MGV is legit.
The fam is also gonna love all the off-road adventures.

I daily drive my badlands in Tampa. My wife has a Lexus SUV, but is starting to prefer the Bronco. There is a bit of wind noise, but the tech, ride height, and ride quality make
It perfect for daily drives.

I’ve got 10k on mine and drive from Philly to OCNJ often.
Did a 1,400 round tripper over thanksgiving with wifey and our 9 year old golden retriever.
the BL is smooth and way more quiet overall than I ever expected

It’ll be my daily driver, if I’m not to old to drive daily by the time it arrives.

I drive my 2 door sas bl as a daily
Its not a luxury suv, bit of body roll and its share of wind noise

it‘s awesome and i love it

 

[gonyr]

No. Because it’s been stuck on ice mountain since mid December. But if it ever shows up it will be my daily driver

I live in NJ and plan to daily my 2dr no-squatch BL. Estell Manor to Bridgeton... so no major highways... 60 mpr or less the entire way. Build date 2/28 (so far)

Badsquatch going 80-90 on hilly freeway curves feel a little sketch, but it’s not too bad.

Dang I'm not getting that, but just hit 1000. What grade fuel are you using?

91, and it could be better considering. Last few weeks I sit idling with the heater on, in the shop parking lot for 30+ min waiting for office personnel to arrive. The auto start/stop kicks on/off to maintain the cabin temp. I have gate and door keys, but not the security disarm code.

I'm not well off enough to drop 50k on a toy, my BL has to earn it's keep getting me to work. It rides smoother and gets better mileage than my Zuk or F250 with way more creature comforts.

I noticed a sizable boost when switching to premium (92 in my case) and I'm wary about switching back. If I don't get bogged down in stoplights it will average 20+. Mine is a twin to yours.
