Like many of you, I am sure, I put a lot if thought into my order. I am in Canada so my Bronco was never going to be cheap and once my wife agreed, my budget could stretch. So, why did I order a Wildtrak? I am curious, why did you?
1) sway bar disconnect - after owning Wrangler and researching the Rubicon it seems to me that very few folks use the disconnect-ever. And while the Bronco system will be an easy system to use by comparison my research tells me that probably 90% of Badlands won’t get used for hard core rock crawling. And, the Rubicon trim on the Jeep is an aesthetic purchase as much as anything else. Another thought, the Taco does not have one and loses no off-road points.
2) bash plates - I can add these aftermarket.
3) front bumper - I am going to buy a winch and upgrade the bumper anyway and I want the forward-facing camera.
4) wash out floors versus carpet - 90% of my kilometres will be on-road and trips. I think it will be quieter. Plus, the floorboards will most likely have the same mould as the BD so I am guessing we will be able to tap and die our own plugs a few months after delivery. Plus I live in an arid mountain area and shouldn't see a topless flood too often.
5) loaded value - in Canada, the pricing for the features seems like the best value
6) gloss black wheels and accents - I ordered Velocity Blue and the “black on black on dark grey (fenders and MIC top) wheel, grill, side mirrors looks slick to me Versus other trims.
7) interior colour - the Tan might go the best with all the exterior colours
8) 12 inch screen and Lux cameras - after seeing the new 12 inch screen and having a B&O in my F150 and the surround cameras, my ego got the best of me and I am happy to need another year to pay off the extra price.
what reasons did I miss for you?
