Why is Wildtrak $7k more then BL?

[Solfive]

I don’t think any of us can go wrong choosing between badlands or wildtrack. For me personally I decided to go with the WT to get the 2.7, auto trans, and the painted modular top vs the steal bumpers, rails, etc. Those things I’ll seek out from the aftermarket to suit my personal style a little better and so it looks at least a little different from the rest of the Broncos in town. I’ll also add my own swaybar disconnect after the fact...although it’ll be less convenient than the electronic factory version.

Still has the 2 additional GOAT modes over the base.

I think we can all agree all of the Bronco models will be plenty off road capable, even more so when Sasquatch is added.

The only difference then will be the GOAT modes and how much they actually help.

In the end it essentially comes down to pick the right tool for the job.

I dont think the GOAT modes will make any real difference at all. Sasquatch and the lockers is the difference. Those are cool but gimmicky IMO.

I dont think you can go wrong with any Bronco you chose. There all head and shoulders above what Jeep offers as far as options. The friggin Base Bronco is a luxury vehicle compared to the Jeep Sport.

I'm not looking that high on the trim levels, but I was trying to wrap my mind around the same issue. Why is the Big Bend nearly 5K more than the base? When comparing the trim levels I just can't find enough differences to justify that figure. I realize it's basically a profit thang, but dang........

Goat modes are going to be a great conversation starter tho! Wait till we get stuck....nope...not stuck, found invalid goat mode!

Sounds rationale, minus the aftermarket swaybar disconnect. But I highly doubt I'll ever feel the need for that.

It has 35 over 33's and beadlock capable rims in painted black which are a bump up from the rims on the Badlands.

I can't find the quote right now, but the demo they took to NYSE was a manual (thus non squatch) badlands on 33s and had beadlocks. The guy on the scene didn't miss that detail and questioned it. They answered that there IS going to be an optional beadlock wheel for non squatch badlands. Not sure if the style will be the same.

This about sums up GOAT mode. ?

My sole reason for going BL is the front sway bar disco.

Same here, I have it on my Rubicon and would definitely like to have it on the Bronco also. I have reservations for BL and FE, will decide on which one based on pricing, A/Z plan availability for FE etc...

For normal trail riding and even sanding around I think BD is sufficient, but I'm not a rock crawler or sand in my booty type of guy. I'm doing BD with 2.7/auto combo and mid package ?

One of the very few things I remember from getting an MBA; "Pricing has nothing to do with the cost to produce and deliver a good or service. It has EVERYTHING to do with, what will the market bear"

With all the BadSquatch talk going on the interwebs, wouldn't surprise me if it becomes the most expensive in the lineup.

I should stop talking "BadSquatch" so much.....

Right, but the beadlocks on the Wildtrak are standard. Just trying to isolate the price difference between standard features by trim.

Ya your right...optional wheels "baked in" on WT!

Still think that some of the upgrade costs on the Badlands trim are going to be a little more expensive then they have to be. Otherwise anyone who pre-ordered a Wildtrak and can get a Badlands with the 2.7l, Squatch, mid, painted hard top, with the steel bumpers and sway bar disco and the rubber floors and marine vinyl for the same price as a wildtrak is gonna change their order.

I'm in line for a 4-door Badlands. I know I want the 2.7L/Auto and the Sasquatch package. When ordering time comes, I'm gonna look a "deleting stuff from the WildTrack" vs. "Adding stuff to the Badlands" and see how stuff shakes out.
