I know it's all speculation at this point. But does anyone have any educated guesses how much it'll be to upgrade to the 2.7 and auto transmission (begrudgingly)?

I bet the trans is $1K - thats what it is on the Mustang give or take a few dollars.
I bet the 2.7 is $3K.

Seeing as Ford charges $995 on the F150 to change from the 3.3L V6 and 6 speed transmission to the 2.7L Ecoboost and 10 speed transmission, I would disappointed with any price over $995, and my expectations are for it to be more than $995.

wrangler charges $2000 for auto. And I think closer to $1500 for the engine. (Simply because it a premium choice vs the f150 that’s just a lateral move)

So I think ballpark 2.3 manual vs 2.7 auto will be around $3,000 give or take a couple hundred

Trans $1500 to match jeep pricing, Engine $1000. $2500


Or another way to estimate by comparing Badlands to Wildtrak (about $7K price difference):

engine/trans = 7000 - beadlocks/tires/widetrack - mid + disco/bash/rubber/rails
engine/trans = 7000 - 2500 - 3000 + 2000 = $3500

I'd love for the total price to only be $1500. But will guess at least 2k myself

My slightly educated, but mostly random guess.

2.7L costs $1,000 in the F150, but the 2.3L probably costs more to produce than the 3.3L, so best case scenario is like $800 for the engine.

10-speed costs $1600 in the mustang, but the 7-speed in the Bronco probably costs more than the 6-speed in the Mustang, so maybe $1500.

So an overly optimistic minimum of $2300 to get the V6, but that sounds like not much to ask to get the macdaddy engine (whereas it's a low-mid engine option in the F150 lineup), so it'll likely be kicked up to at least $3000. The 2.3L competes with and generally clobbers the Jeep's Pentastar, so the natural prey for the 2.7L is the ecodiesel in the Jeep, since both are torque monsters. Jeep charges $4000 for that engine and $2000 for their auto that pairs with it, so $6000 for the whole package. The diesel is definitely way more costly to produce, but Ford could easily price the V6 package $4-5000 and be the value option compared to the Jeep.

TL;DR, optimistically $2500. Realistically $3500-4000.

Yea it's interesting to compare the Badlands to the Wildtrak.

Badlands 4-door: $44,590
Wildtrak 4-door: $51,370

Difference? $6,780

For $6,780, you're theoretically getting:

- 2.7L
- 10 speed
- Mid Package
- Sasquatch Package
- Black painted hard top

And you're theoretically losing:

- Marine grade vinyl seats
- Rubberized flooring (you get carpeted flooring in the Wildtrak, so maybe not a loss to some)
- Heavy duty front bumper, steel rear bumper


How do these things offset? No clue, but for $6,780, the 2.7L + 10 spd couldn't be much more than $4k according to my completely uneducated guess.

keep in mind that these are not exactly the same engines has the f150 or trannys. they are built different to handle more impacts from off road and higher initial torque and different power curves. same displacements and engine type, but could be tuned or using different internals which could have higher costs.

With the Wildtrak, you also don't get the disconnecting sway bar, rock rails, and heavy duty bash plates are optional.

With the Badlands when you add the Sasquatch package that also requires the addition of the 10 speed auto transmission. The Badlands already has the suspension, so the only additions is the suspension lift, wheels and tires.

My take is that if you outfit the Badlands with Sasquatch package, 2.7L V6/10 speed auto, and mid package, the cost will be just above a Wildtrak without additional options. Unless that Wildtrak hood decal is really expensive.

You're right, I missed those.
