Get whatever you enjoy / appeals to you the most.

I don't rock crawl, but definitely want the badlands 2.7 or the wildtrak. Will do beach driving every weekend during the summer, and occasional hiking trips. I like the size and living in NJ with random snow storms etc, the clearance is nice.

I wonder if we're able to get our Bronco's in time, how many of us plan on showing up @ the Jeep Invasion down in Wildwood next summer ?

I agree. In NJ too, Outer Banks 4 door for the fiance daily driving. Badlands 2 door for my daily driving.

Have a FE reserved just afraid of the dealer markup but the Badlands might option out to be just as much.


Where in NJ are you FellowM3? I'm by Sandy Hook area.

Yea, I'm pretty nervous about the badlands price optioned out (2.7L, Sasquatch, hardtop, min high package). If it is too much more than the wildtrak, I'll switch my reservation to a wildtrak and just opt for leather seats. Sucks I wont be able to get the rubber floor or disconnecting sway bar or the steel bumpers, but could do it in the future. I really don't want to pay over 55k.

I live right now in Montclair, Essex county. Work in NY and on most weekends go to island state beach park. My buddy has a Jeep with the buggy pass, so i drive my RS to the parking lot, throw my stuff in his 90's Jeep, and we ride on the beach.

Just like the real Sasquatch, that combo does not exist.

It was at least a possibikity when I placed my reservation. Hopefully Ford will listen.

This will be my daily driver.
I dont rock crawl and i wont be off roading a ton. The plan right now is Big Bend and then pick my options. It’s tough. In the end will Sasquatch be an expensive package just for looks for some people? Probably LOL. Let’s be honest—It is without a doubt what makes this vehicle look its best.

I’ll decide in the coming months on Sasquatch vs mid + some more options. I have a budget i have to stay within. I may have to be real on what i actually need. For camping and light offroading they’re all capable. Could end up Outer Banks with a 2.7 in the end. Dont forget we’ll be modding these for the next decades

I reserved the big bend, and will probably upgrade to the mid package. I'm in the same boat - most off roading I do is getting to a sketchy campground or kayak site. I just prefer boxy style suvs aesthetically and they're becoming few and far between. Been waiting for this for awhile.

Sport for a daily driver that isn't intended to see much gravel and wont ever see dirt. ...
I drive a low slung 2wd car down miles of gravel every day, all year round, and have taken it through mud and snow that people with 4wd trucks turned away from. The Sport with some AWD and better ground clearance will have no problem going places most people wouldn't dare to go.

The idea that an actual Bronco would be remotely necessary for that is silly. Some decent tires and liberal application of the throttle will take you a lot farther than most people think.

I mean how far down trims do I need to go for it to be a good daily driver? I’m not gonna off road much of at all
As others have said, they will all daily drive. It’s a modern car. It really comes down to your needs. Sit in traffic? Get the Automatic. Long commute? Get the 2.3L. Need to carry more cargo? Get the 4-door. Need heated seats? Get the Outer Banks or Wildtrak.

i'm hoping the Canadian market gets heated seats standard as most manufacturers do. i'm looking at the black diamond with a mid package but trying to keep the cost down. would love the 12" screen too.
