I don't anticipate really using the 360 cams out and about, aside from as a party trick. That said, with a little one running around, and a tall vehicle with limited front visibility, the front sensors and camera will be huge for putting my mind at ease around her.
The cabin is North of Steamboat. Out in the Clark/Hahn’s Peak area if you’re familiar with there. It’s on a 10 acre plot that used to be an old mining plot and is about 5 miles deep on a forest service road. Only accessible about 8 months out of the year even with chains and 4x4, but maybe the bronco will make it all 12 months. I was born in Green River, WY so I definitely feel weird anytime I drive around CO with Texas plates on. I promise we’re not like the other transplants!Where's the cabin at?
Born and raised in Colorado, had a similar dilemma but didn't once think I need the SBD for when I go back home. I do feel its tool more for those that are on the new side to wheeling (workaround: wrenches). Same for the camera being more of noob tool, but I could see that being more useful in places than the SBD. Both options are a hard cost pill to swallow in my opinion. There's a few trails in Colorado where I would rather be in a Sasquatched Bronco than a Badlands on 33's, Spring Creek for instance (workaround: bypass and winch cable). But Red Cone, CO or Wipeout Hill in Moab where all you can see is sky at one point that camera might be a nice tool (workaround: spotter).
I don't want to regear and I know at some point I'll put 37's on, so the 4.70 will keep you in the green zone on gearing charts but you'll be in the yellow with 4.46's. So that could help your decision out, if you never see yourself going with 37's then 4.46 will be fine for you.
Almost too many factors to make a clear decision but optional workarounds pointed me to the BD sasquatch. I am going to put the money savings towards a case of Law's or 291 Whiskey next Colorado visit.
That said I'd be more worried about driving in Colorado with Texas plates!!!
That’s kind of where I’m leaning now. What’s $4-5K more on a vehicle I’ll have for a while. I get attached to vehicles and don’t see myself ever selling this Bronco. I’ve been obsessed since the first concept leak.
Interesting on your chart that the Manual Badlands (4.7 rear axle) with 33" tires is somewhere in the greenish/red zone. (green for 4.56 gears and red for 4.88 gears).Where's the cabin at?

Just curious because this will be my first off road vehicle and new to off roading. Since i an a speed nut and figured Wildtrak would be more my style. As marketing aims it to be a high speed off road Bajaj style trim with sport mode. Why if sway bar disconnect is so much smoother off roading why isn't it on the WT?
Because you really want a sway bar once you start moving with speed. There's a reason why Ford programmed the sway bar to reconnect when you hit 20 MPH.
Assuming pricing stays comparable for MY22, I think I'm going to upgrade to Badlands with the High Package. I'm going to own the truck for a while, so I think I'll be happy to have the bigger screen and 360 cams long term. Who knows how much I will use the sway bar disconnect, but I think I'd rather have it and not need it than to be the guy bitching about manually disconnecting when I need to disconnect. I'll probably make a game time decision on whether or not I go SAS BL since it seems it won't be too big of an issue to upgrade to 35's down the road if I want to, and SAS is only .4" higher than a stock BL.
