Badlands 4Dr, 2.7L, opt wheels - Standard.

Only thing in Mid I really want is intelligent access. For $1500, I can push the button on my key to unlock the door.

The cameras included in the high package are going to be much more useful than a lot of people realize, if you're going to be wheeling it.

Get the one that’s got the stuff, that’s the good one.

WHAT THIS GUY SAID!!!

Realistically the only items I want aside from Badlands/2.3/MT is heated seats (for the GF to be comfortable) and front/rear parking sensors which help move cars around the garage without having to get out a few times and the additional power outlets. So i'm stuck with mid package.

Having driven a few Taxpayer vehicles (Teslas), I believe the 12" screen is a detriment to attentive driving, and all of the "aids" to enable/encourage/promote drivers to be less attentive are the opposite of what roadways need.

High package!
I was deadset on a standard blck diamond. When I told my wife she said for every one thing I may not use in the badlands (front locker, sway bar disco), there’s at least one feature in the high package that she needs in order to feel comfortable driving it (front&rear parking sensors, 360 camera). If you have anyone who is intimidated by driving a large MT vehicle, the high package gives them confidence for low-speed maneuvers.

I got the Mid package. As far as my must-haves for the Bronco were a manual transmission and heated seats. Badlands with at least a mid package is the only way you can get that. Plus I like all of the other stuff in the mid package for the money. It's a pretty solid value imo.

If I go with a manual BL I'm choosing high package for the screen and 360. My other build is BD with mid but auto.

I was set on the High package because I want the big screen/camera/mirror ditch lights.

But I talked myself into Lux because it looks nigh impossible to upgrade the sound aftermarket so I might as well go with the best they're offering.

All of the nanny systems except ACC will be turned off, one way or another. Either there will be a way to change them in the settings, or with forscan, or the sensors will get disconnected.

I will fully admit its a great value. I wanted the seats for back pain reasons, but for me it wasnt worth adding in driving aids that may require de-actication each key cycle..... but its one of the few value options in the builder.

Yeah, that software is damn heavy!

Completely agree. Wish I could disable every single nanny aid with the flick of a switch.
