What made you pick your trim of Bronco?

[telenerd]

I went with Sasquatch because of the cool sticker. Plus the orange badlands sticker matches my Cyber Orange and orange interior accents.

With interest rates through the roof and my “base” sasquatch still coming in at 44k and some change, it was a no brainer to go base. I figure everything else can be had aftermarket for less. I was shocked just to see that through my ford pass app I could remote start the car and lock/unlock the doors or see it’s location live time.

I really wanted a 2dr manual, and I do wheel it, so Badlands was the only way to go for me...was really just a question of holding out for the mansquatch, but as it turned out, I wouldn't have gotten it any sooner going base Badlands. Really happy w/what I got after all was said and done!

Hard requirement #1: Manual transmission
That eliminated the OBX and Wildtrack.

Requirement #2: Cloth Seats
That eliminated the BD and Badlands

Requirement #3: no B-pillar jabbing me in the shoulder
That eliminated the 4-door.

Only reason to pick the BB over the Base would be to get a rear locker. I could use a rear locker, but not willing to pay an extra 5-grand for a locker.

So, I ordered a Base 2-Door, 7MT.

Lol price. That’s why I bought a base model

Went with the Base model, it has all the basics I need. So I spent the money on getting the 2.7, sas, aux switches, front bumper and floor liners instead of electronics. Was also able to get sliders, rear seat delete, winch, and a few other things with the money saved.

I completely got on this crazy train ride because of the manual being available with a base trim 2 door (hard top standard too), no such luck with Toyota, you had to go up a couple of trim levels to get a 4wd with a manual. So price.

My 2002 Tacoma TRD offroad had 30" tires and a LSD so I was liking a base manual Bronco to fill the spot of my beloved, but gone (too sad a story) 20 year old Tacoma... Except the open diff was bothering me a bit.

Because of the diff I started questioning if I should go to a Black Diamond, but then for MY22 Ford made Sasquatch available on the manual and after going to a few events like the Off Roadeo, test drive on the ranch, a auto show and etc. I decided to go for the Sasquatch with mod bumpers and bash plating, but stayed with a base trim manual with switches. Gotta have the switches for the extras I'll add!

I essentially copied the First Edition minus the leather seats that I didn’t want anyway…and the goofy tape art…

I guess you call that …a Badlands (with the SASQ and the Lux package)…

just right for me !

If it has been asked already I apologize but just curious as to what made you build what you built from the factory?
[/QUOTE]

• Black Diamon (non-Sas) for the most off-road abilities bang for the buck.
  • Skid Plates, rock rails, rear locker, steel wheels, vinyl seats with washout floor, pre-wired switches
  • Color schemes inside and out (IMO) were better than all other trims
• 2.7 for the most zoom-zoom and future upgrade potential
• 2-Door since my kids are old and I have no one to chauffer around but my wife
  • with default hard top for roof-rack ~ rooftop tent camping
• Future cost-efficient with "basic" repair/replacement parts: Tires, shocks, lights, minimal cameras, and sensors,....

The only thing that would make me consider replacing it would be a V8 option in a 2-door model or a high-power output EV in a 2-door model.

My original January 2021 order was for a Badlands non-SAS 2.7L w/hardtop in Area 51. Like so many others, I had a lot of time to think about my order. I revised this order to SAS when I converted my order to a 2022 MY.

Then.......when Ford revealed the Everglades back in February, I was intrigued. It had a lot of what I wanted, and didn't have some of the things that I didn't really want or need. I was particularly interested in having a special edition that might not be overly popular or common.

I definitely wanted MGV / washout floor, SAS, aux switches, advanced transfer case, and 12 inch screen. After attending the Moab Off Rodeo and driving a Black Diamond for the day, I realized that I could live without sway bar disconnect and 360 cameras - although they're wonderful features.

I also loved the idea of having a factory-installed winch, and shoot, the snorkel and graphics were cool too. I like the two-tone MGV seats in the Black Diamond and Everglades versus all black in the Badlands. And last, but not least, I really like the wheels and fender flares in the Everglades and soon to be Heritage Edition. I also thought maybe I'd have a better shot at getting a 2022 if I switched to an Everglades.

My Everglades was delivered on October 5 and I couldn't be happier!!! I ended up going with Cactus Gray as I thought that it would look better in an Everglades vs. Area 51.

I've already driven it to the sand dunes, ORV park, and through 16 inches of snow w/24 inch drifts. It has performed flawlessly! Remarkably to be honest. It's the best vehicle I've ever driven on snowy roads. We had a couple of warm days in October so I was able to take the doors and roof off briefly - didn't think I'd be able to do that until Spring.

Finally, the 2.3L is a champ. I thought that it might not be quite enough to churn the SAS tires, but I think the 4.7 gears and 10-speed auto make it possible. It's peppy and satisfying to drive. It really rips in Sport mode w/premium fuel.

I got Outer Banks for the following reasons:

1.) Paint color-matched side mirrors and door handles (I guess fender flares too, but I went SAS so they defaulted back to grey/black plastic).
2.) Interior leather
3.) Ability to get the 12" screen and Signature headlights

These few items helped balance out "luxury" daily driver & weekend off-roader.

I am a weirdo that picked a Big Bend on purpose...no one understands why anyone would buy a Bronco with this trim package so I won't go into detail. I am happy with my choice 100%!

 

[RubyRedGT]

Badlands was easy choice. Considered Black Diamond as I wanted MGV and washout floors, but switched to Badlands to add more off-road goods (better front axle with locker and sway-bar disconnect) … i.e., to be comparable to a Jeep Rubicon (I’m a former Jeep guy). Didn’t SAS as I wanted flexibility to do my own wheels/tires. Soft top due to info on issues with hard top (and I loved soft top on my 97 TJ) and 4dr because I already had 2dr Wrangler and I think the 4dr looks way better.

 

[Baseaf]

Base 4 door soft top for me cause I wasn't looking to spend more than mid thirties out the door and I wanted it quickly. I got all weather floor liners and aux switches only. I hope one day to have a 2 door sas to go along side mine. I love it!

 

[ScorpydJim]

It HAD to be a 2 dr!!! I liked the features the Badlands had, one of those “better to have it and not need it” kind of guys. Probably never need to disengage for articulation, but. Trailer tow pkg cause you know, trailer and I hunt. Chose 2.7 and SAS partly because I wanted to have the 4.7 gears to be able to run 37’s. I wanted all black interior, hated the interior on the Wildtrack. Loaded up with LUX to get bigger screen, heated seats and wheel (glad I have today in IOWA!). And I will say the front traffic assist and auto cruise is handy. Most of all though, It’s just a badazz lookin ride!
