Why is Outer Banks so popular?

[Neverowneda4x4]

I joined several message boards since i bought my badlands in January. For me this was a walk-in purchase so i didn't know much about the different trims, or the ordering process. Nowadays, on several bronco online forums, i notice that most new bronco purchases are outer banks. Just wondering what makes this trim so popular?

Edit:
Thanks to everyone who responded. Its pretty clear the outer banks is the first trim where you can get better interior options, plus painted handles, mirrors, etc ... I guess realistically, it has the most common appeal.

For me, i needed ruggedness and durability on my interiors due to kids and dog. The badlands with mgv, rubber floors seemed to fit the bill. Mine has no options (or as i call them, things my kids will damage) and suits me perfectly. (Plus it's manual, so it cuts down on people wanting to drive it! Lol!). I honestly would've gotten like a RAV4 or Honda pilot if the ford dealer only had a bronco in stock with a "nice" interior. I'm happy with how things turned out.

The off road capabilities have been a bonus and helped me discover a new hobby i had never considered. Thanks again everyone! Happy trails!

High package? Idk

I like that it has painted mirrors and door handles. The Sasquatch on it though doesn’t have painted flares. The roast seats are beautiful too..I love my obx …

It is the first trim that has access to the HIGH/LUX package. And it also has unique interior - only can get the Roast/Luna interior (cloth or leather) on the OBX. The painted bits (flares (non Sasquatch), mirror caps, door handles) also a selling point.

Not sure if your "data" is very accurate. But in our group buy down here in TX it is one of the least popular for MY23 (as well as 22 and 21). Sample size is about 100. Heck, we got more BRaptors than OBX's.

I ordered a Loaded OBX-Squatch for my wife as she didn't need the disco or washout interior of the BL or the Hoss3.0 of the WT. Plus she likes the roast leather option. I am sure many other OBX buyers bought for the same reason.

I choose to order my 21 Lux Outerbanks Sasquatch because of the roast leather, painted handles and mirrors.

I added standard painted Outerbanks flares and I love it!

Not a fan of the painted flares and mirrors. It was really the only trim off the table for myself.

Yup, lowest trim you can get the 12” screen on so that’s where I started.

Just my scenario. Our bronco will live on paved roads 99% of the time. I wish I could tell you that we are an avid off-road family, but we are definitely fun-loving and want to enjoy a vehicle that is capable, and adaptable as far as doors and roof.

I will say I do like the painted fenders and there was no need for 35s. I won’t be adding a lift or any crazy expensive upgrades. Just a family fun vehicle. We may be in the minority but we just don’t need a heavy duty off-road vehicle. But off-roading or not, I think most would agree that it is hard to not like the Bronco.

I would say see you on the trails, but it’s unlikely. However, we might pass you on the highway heading to the beach

Stay safe

The OBX model without Sasquatch was way too pedestrian in appearance for me. It made adding the Sasquatch mandatory. That option drove the price to Bad Lands ville. I did not like any of the OBX interior options. The Bad Lands is way more Bronco then I need but it had the look and the interior options I wanted. I put the Bad Lands in the bag. I really dig this vehicle.

Like others have mentioned the painted mirrors handles and roast leather made the decision for me.

 

[RBF 1401]

It has the best interior options.
Outerbanks with Sasquatch would have been my first choice if they would have let me get it with a manual transmission.

Not sure why most of the trims would be purchased. I think Ford has too many trim levels on the Bronco, and surely production teams can't like that!
I get base trim for those that just want a cheap Bronco, and top-of-the-line Wildtrak for those that want the most capable.

Idk. The non Sasquatch version probably shouldn’t even be considered a bronco lol

Seems like it was a popular dealer stock order as well
