Wow, that's surprising. I've never configured an OBX though. Seems weird to pay more for less. I get why the Badlands is more than a Wildtrak.
My WT: 4 Door, Tube Steps (included on OBX), Keyless Keypad, Power Leather Seating, Floor Liners, LUX, Storage Bags for the doors & front roof panels and Tow Package = $59010.00 Au
BL is not more than a WT . . . until you start adding things to it.
I meant with equivalent options, sorry. Was following up my previous comment.
Yeah - I tried the same comparison because I did like the washout MGV interior (until I realized it was not power) and the BL was a LOT more . . . and tube steps were not an option. It went off my radar because of those factors and I have zero need for the disco. Also enjoy the Sport mode in the Raptor . . .
It's about 3k cheaper for me to go WT and get what i really want (Baja AND Sport). Only about 1.5K more than a BD. Don't need rock crawl mode, and the only reason i personally would find MGV useful would be getting caught in the rain with the top off. I have got by with carpet and cloth for the past 35+ years, so i won't be missing anything. And while being the butt of B6G interior jokes, it is much better than that of OBX IMO.
Was thinking the same thing about being caught in the rain . . . this will be my first topless vehicle (never wanted a Jeep) and am keeping my 17 Raptor out of necessity - but agree with the Baja and Sport! Made an hour one reservation for the WT - then spent months building everything from the OBX up (I knew I wanted LUX from the moment the B&P came on line) and landed right where I started. Enjoy you Bronco - maybe we'll cross paths one day . . . we visit the OBX almost yearly . . .
I love the WT cloth interior.
That's exactly why I want the MGV. I'm in a pretty rainy climate now. One time I left my Jeep at the airport. The only parking left was on top of the garage. When I got back from my trip, it had about a foot of water in it. Luckily it was a wash-out interior with vinyl seats. That was in Los Angeles, where it practically never rains. Just got lucky!
Ditto - Baja mode looks like it'll be a blast! As far as getting caught in the rain goes - just gonna hafta plan ahead!
Absolutely . . . and it probably won't be the end of the world!! I see you're in upstate NY - maybe we'll cross paths - I'll be looking out! Hopefully by the time the leaves change!
Yeah, moved to Burlington for about a year just after highschool. Somewhat familiar with the Vermont area. She'll be Carb Gray if you see one tooling down the road.
Yes sir - work in South Burlington - AM Blue here! Best to you.
Nice, I ordered the same wildtrak after wanting the badlands for the longest time. The sway bar disconnect didn’t become a must when I looked at all the Jeeps that rock crawl without it. spent the savings on the B&O.
