This'll be my main driver, and only occasional off roading for camping. Is a locking diff even worth it? Thank you!

Yes. For the minimal cost of adding it now, it is better to have it an not need it...than need it and not have it. I am also getting a BB and have added the rear locker.

Absolutely get it! It's a crazy good deal or a very useful bit of hardware. YES

Absolutely, adding the 4.27 locker resulted In surprisingly getting trail turn assist which is a useful feature

Yes, absolutely agree with the other posts...get the locker. Makes a big difference off road in big ruts and slippery stuff. The Bronco with IFS and big sway bars front and rear likely won't articulate as well to keep all the tires on the ground, so the locker will help to make up for this. You'll be very glad you have it.

$500 is a small price to pay to have traction at both rear wheels in slippery situations. It will help get you through the mud, sand or snow!
