Riddle me this Batman roof rack and brush guard on Badlands can't have 2.7L

Check out these two builds. One a Badlands the other a Wildtrak.

Question, why can you add the roof rack and brush guard with the 2.7L on the Wildtrak, but if you try to add them on the Badlands it makes you take the 2.3L. I checked the order guide and this is accurate, BUT WHY???

If someone knows the answer I would love to hear it. Wildtrak is essentially the same thing so the sway bar disconnect on the Badlands does something to the weight of the vehicle that you can't add those other options. I am so confused.

If it’s not a bug, or perhaps you’re doing a 2-door vs a 4-door, it could be because of the skid plates on the Badlands.

Good Idea, I'll check that. It is infuriating, trying to help customers navigate this with no explanation as to why you can't do certain things.

That's it, you put them on the Wildtrak, and boom you have to remove the brush guard and roof rack/rails. And if you go to Ford's accessory site you can't just buy the rack from the looks of it. GRRR
