Wildtrak Bronco Thread

Ah, thanks for that! I knew WT came with the advanced 4x4 off the bat, but, for some reason missed that it comes stock with the Auxiliary switches.

Some discrepancies on the Ford’s website involving the Wildtrak...
1) Is the grill painted Black or Carbonized Gray?
2) With the Sasquatch Package standard on the Wildtrak are Electronic Front and Rear Axles included or are they a separate option?

I'm there with ya. Seems some people think Obx and WT are not for hard core but I beg the differ. Disconnecting sway bar is not the end all be all. You toss Sasquatch on any of the trims and you hang with most... I'll just be sitting in a ton more comfort the 90% of the time I'm on pavement.

I'm looking at changing from the Badlands to the Wildtrak. What is it about the Wildtrak or Sasquatch 35" tires that you think will make it more comfortable then the stock 33" tires on the Badlands?

I know that the published literature has a lot of contradictory wording but, the Wildtrak Bronco has the Sasquatch Suspension which includes Front and Rear lockers, 4.7 gears, Beadlock capable wheels, with 35” tires (315/70R-17 specificaLLy.

Would like to know this too. my father in law‘s F-150 has 35 inch KO2’s (same tire as badlands 33 inch) and very comfortable ride. Curious how different the Sasquatch will be as a daily driver compared to stock badlands.

This review raves about how nimble and fast (and smooth) the Sasquatch/2.7 felt

there’s also a Sasquatch as a Daily Driver thread that’s fairly active. Taking a look myself!

I think they were speaking of the creature comforts the Wildtrak comes with, not that it’s a more comfortable feeling ride on asphalt.

WT has both standard but OB adv 4x4 is optional as for the auxiliary switches in it maybe part of the 200+ accessories since it’s not standard.

The Aux Switches are an option on the OB not an accessory

Well for me, when I was referring to comfort, I am talking about the whole thing... from the interior, features, tech, etc. Yes you can add all those things to a BL.. but then you will be paying more than a WT.

Just seem like some folks think that once you have some gizmo's and carpet, you are nothing but a mall crawler

And as for the 35's vs 33's... both have a large enough sidewall (aka not a low profile tire) that their handling is going to basically be the same. Any change in ride quality would come from the suspension and if the ride is too rough, let a little air out of the tires and it will make a significant difference when hitting those pot holes.

That's my exact question. Is the "coolness" factor of the look worth the reduction in daily drive enjoyment (ie road noise, etc.). Especially if you only take it offload a few times a year.

Do you know if the Wildtrak grill is black or is it gray?

Im currently planning to order a Wildtrak.
Im toying with the idea of going with a set of after market wheels - Black Rhino Gauntlet - 17x8.5 Gloss Black Offset -18.
Can anyone confirm if an offset of 18 will be ok???
(I did a build on interactive garage and these wheels did come up as a fit.)
I may also go with a set of Falken Tires - Wildpeak A/T3W 315/70R17 (35").
Very likely will go with the Westin HDX Xtreme Nerf Step Bars.
I will consider the after market front bumper shown below but not if it requires any front sensors to be relocated.

A Wildtrak for the speed Baja off-road experience.
Love the high end packages it offered too....................
It's going to be insane! Can't wait.

My opinion: the standard wheel is a 0.00 offset. As the tire grows up to maybe a 12.5" 35,' you are probably still talking a 0.00 offset or maybe a little bit more aggressive -12 (pushes outward about .43", I think. If you want the 37's, you are looking at the -12 offset (pushes outward about .43", I think or a -18 (pushes outward about .71, I think).

The negative offset won't affect you much, and it gives you a more aggressive look, so everything is up to you, within some of these typical parameters described.
