BL $1695 more than WT. Why?

[theguda]

Is the disconnect and washout interior worth $1695? Did I miss any other differences?

wat?

 

[centra28]

yes there are a whole lot of differences that can be reviewed on the ford website. mostly with the suspension.

WT MSRP was reduced by $1895 due the lack of a painted hardtop

wat?

Might be talking after adding V6 and Sassy to the BL to make them more apples to apples. OP is overlooking the bumpers/bashplates/and rock rails - which probably does add up to 16,000 and change.

If you add Sassy/Or the V6 (one or the other) BL is cheaper though.

I wish they would have made the Wildtrack with the BL suspension and 33s, and priced them closer. I don't need the rock crawling gear, but also don't want to pay for 35's and rims that I hate.

The Badlands, when it's all said and done, is the more capable rig. The Wildtrak is an OBX with a few popular upgrades standard. I really wanted to believe when it was revealed that it was a "Raptor-lite" or aimed at the Mojave but it really feels more like an afterthought. Like Ford just wanted another high end trim. Which is fine to me. The lesser informed buyers will assume it's the "top of the line" and flock to it and may keep the Badlands from bottlenecking a little less badly.

In my configs with both being set up the same; Sas(BL)+Lux+2.7+Armor(WT); the WT is almost $1k more....with no sway bar disconnect, and no wash our interior. BL is the better deal.

Not sure what your build was, but the WT is more than an equal equipped BL - from my build.

What was your build?

Also, I did not add Rock rails to either build, so the difference would be higher with RR added.

Don't forget the awful WT hood decal.

Modular bumper and bash plates

I guess my answer is yes.....totally worth it. The washout interior was the #1 feature that sold me on the Bronco. I’m so sick of cleaning salt or sand off my carpet and if you ever have been on a road trip when someone threw up in the car, youd want one top

I was originally WT, but now I'm going BL. IMO, the BL is the better build similarly optioned. Even if it is slightly more than the WT, I feel it is worth it. Do I think some of the BL prices are overpriced, yes (i.e. Sasquatch), but hey, what are you going to do about it. Here is my comparison. Obviously no accessories, but this is probably the best apples to apples comparison between the two.

I’m not understanding the Lux price gap between the two??
someone fill me in on why BL lux is $1500 more for the same equipment.

The WT comes standard with the Mid Package and BL does not. The Mid Package cost $1,500 which explains the difference.

Because BL starts at standard package where WT starts at mid.
