Im going Wildtrak...
Ford website is contradictory but I believe the Wildtrack grill is black. In the key features section it specifically says Black Grill

Badlands because I'm bias...

You can Wildtrak a Badlands, but you cannot Badlands a Wildtrak.

Get what you want, not what you think others may want you to have.

At the end of the day, it really comes down to options the other cannot be had with. Based off of what I see, the interior/carpet is really the only thing that fits in this category. Every other option can be added to each model as an accessory or can be swapped (like grilles from what I see).

Wildtrack comes with the sasquatch with 35"'s. If you go with Badlands you can easily get 35"s if you find you need them and regret your decision.

Badlands comes with steel bumper and rock rails. If you go with Wildtrack, you can easily swap bumpers and add rock rails if you find you need them and regret your decision.

The only real difference that you cannot change after the fact is the interior components. I would go with whichever you find makes you the most comfortable and then, if you find you need other components, add them as needed.

You don't have sport or baja mode on Badlands.

No, you can’t get the Front Sway Bar disconnect with the Wildtrak. That and the flooring makes the Badlands the way to go.

Even though your mind will prob change a few times before you order, I say you go to this comparison link and see exactly what the differences are and then make a decision.
Better yet, wait until the B&P comes out and make a true comparison with the true costs. We still don’t know the actual price of all these extras. There’s too many rumors, assumptions, conflicting info to make a decision before B&P. You’ve got at least 3 months to make a decision. ?

I am waiting to see my interior choices. Arizona sun may push me to cloth seats, or my OCD may push me into a Badlands. I hate blank switches!

I believe Badlands has Baja, but not Sport.

Either way, I agree that interior is the bit most difficult to change, so maybe use that as the basis. If you don't want Sasquatch, then I wouldn't go with the Wildtrak.

Thanks - the quoting of a exact dollar difference made me think B&P was out there (and then wasted 5 minutes trying to find it)... Agree with BroncBro that guesses without going through the full tool (once available) could be wildly off. Assume Ford is going to be mirroring the quickly-escalating pricing of Wranglers in what it takes to get the options you think you need...

Good point. I wouldn't necessarily say that automatically means this guy has to go with the Badlands. I mean, what is his use case? Is this more of a dessert runner or rock crawler?

I know for me, I would go Badlands because I'm primary going to be running muddy trails (flooring is nice) and plan on doing a little bit of rock crawling (sway bar is nice).

Point of my post was more just to say, I would really zero in on things that you can't accessorize. I agree that if Sway Bar Disconnect is important to this person, they should 100% go Badlands.

According to the Ford brochure, they both have Baja mode. It looks like the Wildtrak has Sport and the Badlands has Rock Crawl. Each has 7 G.O.A.T modes.

What does baja mode do? Add guacamole?
