I have had 2 Raptors in the past, 2010 and 2013. They were both my daily drivers but I attended several Raptor runs and excursions. I drove them there, beat the crap out of them, and drove them home to continue daily driving them. I guarantee there will similar get-togethers with these Broncos and I am looking forward to it. While I am not exactly a hard-core offroader I definitely want to make sure my Bronco is equipped for these types of trips.

My current WildBanks build: *basically a wildtrak, but 1k less
Outer Banks 4dr
2.7
High Package
Sasquatch
Modular Top
(plus 300 accessories);)

My intended use:
It'll be my daily
It'll take me to a ton of hiking trailheads (i'm in the mountains a lot)
It'll take me on my roadtrips to the mountains/National Parks
It'll take me to all my landscape photography locations (paved&unpaved)
It'll take me to some Jeep meetups so i can show it off. ??

Thats about it. No rock crawling here(maybe a couple drive-thru curbs). Is it overkill? Probably...but it'll look damn good doing all of it. Thats my honest answer.

I will be using as a daily driver. Not intending on any off road use. I've owned 3 Wranglers none of which had seen anything but pavement. I like having 4 wheel drive in the winter and top/doors off during the warmer months. I reserved a BL but I will build and price all models when I see what options are available. I know I'll get the mall crawler calls and other opinions that may differ from my intended use and that's Ok.

2 Door Base + Sasquatch.

I swear I am going to leave the West Texas desert and off road it.....somewhere.......eventually.

Our roads are pretty rough here, does crappy roads count for needed Sasquatch package?
Truth. I drive 30-120 miles one way and back everyday from Andrews, and Jesus these roads....

Well I for one intend to use, not beat on this vehicle for trail work & it will get some trail souvenirs along the way. This will not be a daily driver, but added to multiple vehicles in the stable. I look forward to returning to MOAB, and numerous other trails in the Sierras all the while by passing the Rubicon- Too much traffic on that trail & there are much more scenic unpopulated trails in the nearby area with just as much challenge if not more. While my trail choices may be milder than what I use to run, it will be on the trail.
A general rule of thumb to wheeling is having a more capable vehicle makes the trails more enjoyable and is easier on the vehicle and the trail.

But I know what you are saying ;)

It will be my DD. (Mall Crawling, Drive through and to work) I can drive over the Curbs and medians when no one is watching me, may be only at night as I cannot do all this during day time as I cannot do all itsy bitsy off-roading in my Pilot :LOL:

I mean - the OP is absolutely right - and I might get all practical and save some money based on realistic use - but the Badlands best reflects my aspired use ....

99% on road, daily driver for me. That's why I'm getting the Big Bend with all the add-on's. Would love to get the Sasquatch but that's overkill to go back and forth to work.

Most broncos will never get in the wild and ever need 4wd
