Get the Wildtrak. You'll be happy, especially knowing you have the Sasquatch package. You don't wanna be stuck making a payment on a vehicle you aren't happy with

I’ve had a BD with mid for a year now. It’s great, no complaints. A WT would have been out of my price range so, In my case, I have no regrets.
Cactus grey was the ordered color too, nice

Hey all, first time posting, hoping to join the club! I discovered Broncos just this year and was smitten.

Got a decision to make soonish.

I ordered a non-sas mid BD on 3/27, builds not scheduled yet.

In the meantime, came across a race red WildTrak with leather and high that I could get for msrp, but in another state, so another $1500 delivery fee.

I know, vastly different builds (I sorted wished I added SAS to my BD order), not sure about the extra expense of the wildtrak (love the 360 camera though), but also not sure on the wait for my BD order.

How do you all enjoy your wildtraks or black diamonds?

thanks!
A key question should be - what will you be doing with this vehicle? If you spend 60k on the Wildtrak, will you for real have a use for all that functionality?

Example, you are interested in navigating trails and travelling to locations that require front and rear lockers - so you buy a vehicle with front and rear lockers. Rather than a fantasy based purchase.

Yep 23 for both. The hoss 3.0 is one of the considerations. It’s that good?
Absolutely! The best stock suspension available.

regarding your decision, if you like red and financially you can afford the Wildtrak, it should be a no brainer.
Wildtrak will give you:
the bigger 12” screen
the Hoss 3.0 suspension
more GOAT modes
the Sasquatch package
power seats
all the goodies of the high package
and the list goes on……

it is a very capable off road vehicle straight off the lot with no modifications needed.

If it will strain you financially then wait on your non-sas BD and slowly build to your liking.

and does the Wildtrak have the roof you want as well? If it’s soft and you want hard that would be a reason for me to wait.

By the way, you are lucky to have a dealer willing to sell for MSRP.

good luck and let us know your decision.

Go get this one, and when the next one comes in sell one of them, and probably pocket some cash for upgrades.

What was said by Roll Tide!

To add, the Lux/High package is very nice. I have the leather in my Badlands builds and it's great! Also, Ford's big screen 4.0 is very nice. The Wild Track will have a suspension that is already capable of anything you want to do, so you will not have to worry about swapping out a lot of things later.

Get the Wildtrack, if it's in your range, and drive it home. ROAD TRIP!!!

Do you want to off-road? If so there is no question to go with the Wildtrak

FYI: The Hoss 3.0 suspension package was the big news for the 2022 Bronco Wildtrak. It swapped the Hoss 2.0’s Bilstein shocks with Fox shocks that have larger remote reservoirs and aluminum bodies that more efficiently dissipate heat. Ford revised the spring rates, added a new rear stabilizer bar and inner and outer tie rods that are 32% stronger. Additionally, the Hoss 3.0 package has a steering rack used in the Bronco Raptor, providing a 40% gain in maximum load compared to the standard Bronco rack.

Don't you go trying to insert logic and common sense into this discussion. That is not welcome here. This is clearly and emotional decision based on the need to have it now vs. waiting. We all know which one will win in the end, don't we?

I am with Rebel Bronco. Go get that thing and save the freight charge. LOL.

I can say that I am very happy with my BD without sasquatch or even the mid package. Would I have liked the Sasquatch package or a Wildtrack? Of course, but the BD price was more appealing.
I think you'll be happy with either one.đź‘Ť

I will just say that if you are going to buy a Wildtrak, make sure you’ll actually need the capability it provides. A lot of people get sucked into buying the best because… well… it’s the best. BUT they never needed the full capabilities the vehicle provided and in reality they just took $15,000+ and set it ablaze.

I love the Bronco and the Wildtrak is an awesome machine.

BUT you can do a lot with $15,000+.

Life can be short.

Ride something that makes you smile.

Buy the WT right fucking now and do what you want with it. Make it a garage Queen or gear queer the heck out of it. Ride it like a pimp at the Mall or take it to Moab and brake shit.

You only live once, so move out quickly and make it happen.
