That means upgrading all the way to a Badlands because the Black Diamond won't do it either... I really hope it's just a glitch because that's a pretty crappy way to try to get me spend more $$$. I just wouldn't do it.

Agreed. The grille for the Big Bend has always been my favorite out of all the different trims, and I was initially digging the fact that the Wildtrak had the same style and was all in on getting one since it came with pretty much everything I was wanting. However, they changed it to a Glossy Black Badlands style grille, and some other details about the Wildtrak ended up turning me off of it pretty quickly.
So, I specced out a Big Bend as a "Wildtrak-lite" and ended up coming pretty close and running around $48k. All I seem to be missing out on is the Wildtrak graphics, Baja Mode, High Package, and the High Level Instrument panel. To be honest, I'm pretty happy with my choice.
there's always plasti dip!My problem with the big bend is the wheels. I want black wheels and don’t want to pay 5k to get them with Sasquatch. The carbon gray wheels on the big bend are ok and it’s nice that they match the roof/grille, but in some light the wheels look much lighter (see below). If the optional black diamond or badlands wheels were available on the big bend, I wouldn’t even be looking at other trims, but now I’m looking at the BD with its optional wheels just to get the look I want (and unfortunately a bunch of other stuff I don’t need). I know I could go aftermarket for wheels too, but I prefer the stock look.
All of the Broncos will be more capable off road than the sport IMO. Also, there is no functional difference between the BB and BD (which is marketed as an off road trim due to the vinyl?). I'm curious why BB isn't going to be a decent off roading (not rock crawling) option.

Point only was if you’re not going Sasquatch and aren’t an avid off-roader it’s a better trim to look at. Wasn’t saying it’s less capable.

Gotcha... makes sense. Just read it wrong the first time.

can someone explain lockers to me? dumb it down for me. my wife and I are getting the 4 door big bend with the sasquatch package. also how tall will it be?
I live in Nebraska...not going without heated seats. Heck I use them during the Summer when my back hurts.
You can get heated seats with Mid Package on Big Bend.
I think I’m sold on BB, mid (free auto hopefully), floor liners, and hard top. Wouldn’t mind spending more, but MY 2022 or 2023 might offer green and a hybrid and BB isn’t too expensive. Might keep both at the price it is.

Not if you want a manual transmission.
Sorry...

For now I have decided to go 2.7/Auto, there are just to many restrictions on the manual as of now, hope it changes.

Check out this post for a straight forward explanation of 4WD settings and when to use, GOAT modes, and a link to a video showing what a rear locker does for you.
