So I am going to be completely up front... I live in Wisconsin. I do not need a robust off road beast. The most off road this vehicle will do is some primitive camping in our National Forest, so maybe some crappy, poorly maintained fire roads.
With that being said... still want one
I was going to order a 2022 Outer Banks, the grocery getter of the bronco line up, but when I priced it out, I can get a Badlands trim with the EXACT same upgrades (mainly 2.7, MIC, High Package, Non-SAS) for only $2000 more ($53,010 vs $55,010). So my question is:
1. Is the Marine Grade Vynil worth it? I keep reading how everyone loves it!
I do quite a bit of fishing and have 2 kids (2 yo & 4 yo) who, as kids do, make a mess of anything and everything.
2. I actually was going to get the Outer Banks w/ 3.73 for better highway MPG. But it appears from searching the forum and the EPA ratings the 4.46 gears of the Badlands really wouldn't affect Hwy MPGs.
I feel like the extra offroad prowess of the BL just means most stuff that could break, but the MGV is very enticing. Any insight or help would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Torn Grocery Getter
