We had one with the 360 camera and 12” screen. Also, they no longer “let” you do trail turn assist. The problem is that it really rips up the trails unless it’s loose sand or snow.Moab over Labor Day weekend was amazing. My wife went from being scared of gravel to wanting to drive the non-Squatch Badlands up rock faces. She's definitely sold on the lifestyle now and can't wait to take delivery.
Couple of Off-Raodeo things that haven't been talked too much about yet:
- I didn't get insurance and honestly didn't find I needed it despite the sketchiness of the trails. No one was ever reckless and everything was in control. Our lead bronco turned too close to a large rock and pivoted on the rock rail, however that was the only potential issue and I didn't get the feeling that anyone cared.
- Check out the vehicles early, before they do the outside trainings. Then when you go out, make sure to stand next to the one you want to drive as it's a free for all to grab the one you want once they give the directive. I ordered a non-squatch Badlands, so I chose the one closest to what I ordered. (Build date for mine is next week - YES!)
- Water bottles and water is supplied however, the water cooler is mostly only accessible during lunch for a refill in one of the vehicles. Similarly, I kind of wish we had snacks in the vehicle. I was pretty hungry by lunchtime.
- There were many obstacles where I really, really wanted the front-facing cameras. I'm not sure that any of the vehicles had them.
- I think I was most surprised by trail control. It was amazing how it just steadily climbed a rock face all by itself, seemingly better than I would have throttled it.
- Trail turn assist went from being a perceived party trick to a very useful feature. I enjoyed the higher speed turns while using it.
- Grab bar placements for the passenger are a bit awkward, forcing the passenger to lean forward to be able to reach either one of them. I wouldn't mind an aftermarket extension to the console grab bar to place it closer to the passenger seat.
