Badlands vs Wildtrak side by side

[Tricky Dick]

I still think a leveled non squatch BL on 35s is going to be the sweet spot visually. Or at least I hope so since that's what I plan to do.

I'm a little concerned about 35" M/T tire's as an everyday 95 % street tire.

Very subtle differences. I still like the idea of a Sasquatch with skinny flares.

Those flare deletes are one of the first things I’ll be getting.

Agreed. But, it’s a compromise tire. Should be good for a few years.

The Wildtrack is the Mall Crawler package. Gives the look without the extra functionality (ie Rock Crawl mode, and sway bar disconnect). If you are just doing light 4x4ing its a good way to save some money. But if you watch any of the pro drivers they were all in Badlands or First Editions to get those 2 features.

You can't be serious?!? You do realize there's different types of Off-roading besides Rock crawling. Ground clearance, better suspension and bigger tires are pretty important. And I'm willing to bet that Wildtrak or any other Bronco equipped with Sasquatch package without sway bar disconnect can do extremely well in the Rocks. I personally would rather have the higher ground clearance and bigger tires especially in muddy situations, river crossing and desert running at high speeds.

BL and 33's for me, as well...side-by-side, the difference is subtle. Also gives me room to "grow" in the future, if I think it's needed.

I’m getting the same build but in Antimatter blue. Getting optional wheels with the 33” AT KO2.

exactly why I went no sas ... loving the narrower look

This photo has me rethinking adding the Sasquatch package.

Maybe it’s the fender flares the Wildtrak looks wider in this pic

Super helpful

Two more views of them next to each other.

well, technically second pic is a FE and a BL but same difference.

That's my A51 BL. Man I can't wait. No need to spend the extra $2k, can do what you need stock.

Not sure if yall have seen this yet but I just found this review of the Territory MT which is found on squatched broncos and many other new offroad style vehicles. Seems like a decent street tire but nothing to write home about. It seems odd that ford went with this tire considering ford is already using 315/70/17s KO2s on the raptor which seem to be more offroad capable while also being very good for street use.

Spot on.....I love when people try and justify not going full Wildtrak because ‘you can’t rock crawl’ with it and it’s only good for ‘the mall’. Whatever......

Looks like TA KO2's vs M/T also.
I'm happy with my choice of the BFG's

Is there any information out there to suggest that the Badlands with Sas and Wildtrack with Sas have any suspension differences other than the disconnecting roll bar on the Badlands?

I ask because I would think there would be spring and damping differences between one vehicle intended for crawling and another for higher speed stuff.

Also, re disconnecting roll bar and crawling. Yes its helpful. But front and rear lockers make it easier to put power down if the wheel on the other side is up in the air.

Thanks,

Don

I like both and really, all the models have things I like about them. I ultimately went BL because the BD was my focus, but once I added the wheels I liked or did the math on swapping out new wheels and tires it was worth the $2.5k to get the beefier front axle with a a bonus sway bar disconnect. Then KOH videos hit and I had to have the cam, so choice was solidified with BL High package. My experience tells me 35” tires are more than I need and the 33” is just the sweet spot for me. Still love the look of SQ, but I won’t have FOMO on 35s

I have a 2dr Sasquatch BL on order after switching from a 4dr WT. I gotta say I’m hoping my badlands favors the WT in the looks department. Glad I went Sasquatch. The WT Sasquatch vs BL photo compares to a Raptor vs a stock F150. And that black grill and Race Red pops against the desert background where the A51 looks a little washed out.
