Outerbanks SAS vs Wildtrak redux questions

[bryan8252]

I have to laugh as there are numerous posts about this. I should know as I have been reading them for quite a while. But I have a couple of questions and hopefully someone has an answer as I am looking to finally place an order for a '24.

Are the outer dimesions the same for a WT and an SAS OBX (or any SAS model)?

Is it possible to replace the black mirror caps and door handles on a WT with bodycolor ones? If so, are these sold by Ford?

Appreciate the anticipated replies, including the flaming .

You can just get your pieces painted by a body shop.

Dimensions are the same.

Wildtrak gets you the HOSS 3.0 suspension, which is very good, but you can go aftermarket to accomplish a similar setup for not a huge amount of money $2-4k.

2024 gives you the upgraded steering system, which was exclusive to the Wildtrak before.

I do not see the real value of the Wildtrak anymore for 2024.

Doesn’t a Sasquatch also include the 3.0 suspension

No, 2.0.

Sas is the Bilsteins, which I think are based on the 4600s with a small res. I'm not a fan of the SAS shocks, they are undersized. The Ford Performance Lift Kit uses the much larger Bilstein 6100s (2.65" shocks).

As of MY23 the Fox 2.5" shocks are standard on the WT. They are a big step up from the SAS Bilsteins.
