Who has the 4.27 rear locker?

[Tripodbruno]

Curious... I have been scouring dealer websites across the country looking for any thing available that is not massively marked up. In doing so I have been mostly focusing on lower trim levels as opposed to the badlands I have on order. I have yet to see one unit at any dealer optioned with the 4.27 rear locker (big bend and OBX.) Why is this? The Sas package is the best option but one could option up a big bend bend reasonably with a rear locker and come close to $40k. Just wondering?

Side note in my travels online aside from overpriced first editions my two favorite dealer markups are-

Base no options found at a dealer in IL with a $20K ADM over MSRP.

A used badlands (non Sas, 2.3L, no packages) at a Land Rover Dealer in Colorado that was listed at $81K it must have thought it was a defender!

Side side note I know there many on here that have multiple orders/order holders and those that have a 2021/22 that will soon be getting their desired order. If you have one that you want to sell instead of trading in lets try to make a deal- msg me. worth a shot!

I have a 4.27 OBX. To get the Advanced 4x4, 4.27 gearing and rear lockers for $800 (I think?) was a no brainer to me.

I have seen a few dealer builds here in GA (blue WS) with the 4.27 axle. I’m guessing it just doesn’t add much value in certain regions.

This is exactly what I did. While waiting on our BD SAS, we ordered a BB with the 4.27 locker to avoid the longer wait that comes with adding SAS and to keep the price low for a temp vehicle we will resale later. Walk in order placed on 2/16/22 and schedule for production 4/25/22. Plan to add a leveling kit and SAS wheel and tire takeoffs and drive it until the BD SAS comes in.

On the OBX the 4.27 gearing plus locker is +$795. The Advanced 4x4 is another +$795 which didn’t make it a no brainer for me. I was happy paying for the better gearing and locker but wasn’t going to pay extra and add a known constraint for the Advanced 4x4.

My OBX has the 4.27 locker as well. As stated it came with the Advanced 4x4 package. I would have liked the SAS package, but between the $5k add to my sticker and the delays, I decided to skip it. Once my wheels and tires and any lift/suspension work is done, I won't be any cheaper, but I do like my wheel/tire choice better.

OBX 2.7, Advanced 4x4, 4.27 rear locker nonSAS - I had no need for bigass tires and lifted above standard. I see too many Wranglers outfitted like BigFoot wannabes for on road use.

My dealer order OBX had the 4.27 Locker (as part of the advanced 4x4 package) . I obliviously had few choices as I was determined to get a dealer stock at MSRP but I'm really glad she has those gears, it really runs out nice.

I have Badlands with optioned 4.27 gears and locker. Love it! That's what sold me to get it especially knowing I was going to go 35's.

I did have to pay over MSRP but I wanted (semi needed) a new vehicle and was ok with it considering I won't be getting rid of it.

Fair enough. Obviously it’s usage dependent, even at $1600 for all 3, it’s a no-brainer (4A) in the Northeast climate from a value perspective.

? Badlands should be 4.46 gearing unless manual or sas. I wasn’t aware you could get anything else. Interesting do you still have the front locker then? Have never heard of the BL being able to have the 4.27 you sure you didn’t mean Big Bend?

lol my apologies, auto correct now has Bronco terminology corrected. Yes I have the “Big Bend”NOT BL.

you had me curious I am far from an expert. Figured it might be another option I didn’t know about. There is a lot I don’t know

Correction to your pricing. The Advanced 4WD option for $795 includes the 4.27 gearing and rear locker as I have it on my OBX. I highly recommend it as a measure of performance flexibility should you decide to go with larger tires

I got my Big Bend in a 4.27 gear ratio. I wanted that since I wasn’t getting the SAS option from factory. This will help when I get bigger tires in the future.
