Did anyone notice the red badlands they reviewed but there was no sway bar disconnect button on the dashboard??? Kind of odd
The Badlands had it at 16:41. 14:20 was an OBX (with optional rear locker, it looks like) that doesn't have disco.

My money is on Base its by far the best value. Unlike most trucks this Base model comes with all the good stuff, remote locks, power windows, cruise. It even has heated mirrors and push button start. Thank goodness it doesn't include auto climate heated seats power liftgate. This is an off road "Bronco" folks, not a Chrysler Town & Country minivan!! Don't get mad this is just humor folks! Seriously the Base is a great value. The sweet sixteen tires are perfect for me as its plenty for getting to the sky area or mild trails. Into hard core, the base with SAS is still an awesome deal. I'm adding some options like HD Bumper, Brush Guard, Aux switches to my Base and it's still $3500 less than a Big Bend without any options. Can't beat it!

I heard from a Bronco Designer at ford that he thinks Black Diamond or Outerbanks are the best value for money. Of course depending on the options

As someone else mentioned, it had it. What made it look different is that trail turn assist is missing, since this Badlands is a manual. Consequently, they shifted the other switches one to the right.

OH Yeah! Basequatch coming my way.

Watch out though, there are people on here that will write War and Peace length purported rebuttals of your accuracy in calling this a truck.:LOL:

Ok thanks. They were on the badlands and were switching between vehicles I guess. Not great video editing on their part then
The Badlands was a manual. Manuals don't have trail turn assist. That's the manual Badlands have one less hero switch.

I am not looking forward to the weather and I’m from freaking ARIZONA lol.

And the black diamond looks even better in person. The Sasquatch version is of course amazing but the stock black diamond looks pretty dang sweet.
It's not really that hot here, just a little humid. ;)

I ordered a BD non-Sas, and that is the best Bronco for me. I think the Base is the best value but they should have had MVG and rubber floors in the Base.

Yeah - Black Diamond would be if we could get a 7MT with Mid Package - and later Mansquatch

Sasquatched Black Diamond is the best bang for the buck in the entire line up.

It is, If you don't need High or Mid you can't beat it for a stock crawler especially with Sas. I bet BD with Sas will do 95% plus of anything out there stock. Just need a winch.

That headliner in the base was shedding like crazy. I guess that’s normal for what it is.

Even though not my build (unless I happen to change that badboy) I see where either base or BD are the best value, in their own ways and categories.
Same basic vehicle, apples-oranges comparo just due to the options and features.
I'd lean toward BD being the better of the value until you get into adding too much on, then it becomes too close to the BL pricing to just not opt for the BL SBD feature that it brings to the table.
I honestly struggled for too long between the BD and BL.
It is extremely tempting to scale down to a 2 dr BD 2.3 manual, no add-on frills and go with it.

These pics do it great justice and it's a great looking and capable machine as it sits.
