OBX vs Wildtrak

[mdonathan56]

The other question I have is: Are the front axles upgraded on the lower trims from M190 to M210 with the sasquatch package? Description doesn't call it out, unless that's assumed with the locking front axle

Sasquatch™ Package
17" black-painted aluminum beadlock-capable
wheels with 35" LT315/70R17 BSW Mud-Terrain tires,
electronic-locking front and rear axles,
4.7 Final Drive Ratio,
high-clearance suspension,
position-sensitive Bilstein™ shock absorbers,
and high-clearance fender flares

Big axle comes standard on the BL and with the Sas .

Attempting to breathe some life back into this thread...

I, too, have planned on OBX/ Sas/ 2.7/ Mod top... then realized I could get Baja (which I absolutely will use) for a few quid more. Perhaps I'm falling into the price trap Ford has designed, and perhaps I'm ok with it. That said, question about the grill- doesn't OBX have some venter flap that opens up at speed for cold intake/ induction? Or does that seem gimmicky? I personally like the OBX grill better but I imagine I could buy/ swap one after the fact.

Anything else I'm missing before making the switch to WT? Seems almost too sweet...

The moment you go with those 3 options on basically any trim, you can easily be in the WT range, especially if you also add Mid since WT comes with it (and the aux switches)

IMO, unless you want a stripped down version, there are really only 2 choices... WT or BL. Possibly a built up OBx if you really can't stand the interior of the WT.

Based on the optioning up you are planning, I think the only "significant" difference is the selectable 4x4 with OBX and Advanced Auto 4x4 with Wildtrak.

Oh, that Wildtrak hood graphic that no one has seen.

An insider from Ford sent me the graphic. I think it really ties it all together.

@da_jokker yeah I came to the same conclusion. I'm not doing leather seats and I'm not really a fan of that massive step rail on the OBX, so yeah, may be WT for me. Plus I'd get Baja. Thanks for the sanity check.

I thought the high package gives you the auto 4x4

I don't think so, because my first quote was a lux package without the advanced 4x4 and I was rather annoyed because the advanced 4x4 and rear locker were on my must have list on the OBX.
