Wildtrak ride along review

[618TRVLWILD]

We went to the booth @618TRVLWILD was helping out at... but apparently she was out on a ride along... bought the GF a shirt anyway.

I reckon I’m just too excited about the overall of the bronco to pay much attention to interior color schemes... but I did like the feel of the MGV. Maybe I can be more observant tomorrow... lol

So sorry I missed you! Thank you for stopping by! I was so excited to see the interior in the BB. It was a locked bronco. I got lucky asked the right person they unlocked it. They said al the Broncos will be drove in the ride along. So you happen to get one off the BBs. I totally want to see pictures!!

I'm not going to lie, I'm incredibly jealous you got to ride and have a second slot reserved. I signed up too late for the ride alongs so I'm on the waiting list

Get their early and get signed up. They were working ppl in pretty good!! I’d say Friday and Saturday be the busiest.

That's what I was afraid of. We're only going to be there Friday and Saturday lol

I sure hope there's an override to turn off that beeping/alert every time you get near an obstacle.

Usually within the settings menus (either in the gauges or center screen), there's an ability to turn the sensors off. I know when the rear/reverse are activated, the option pops up in the gauge cluster, but I don't think that's the case with the front sensors (it'll likely be in the center screen menus).

Got to ride in this beauty today at Super Cel. I will say you Wildtrak folks will not be disappointed. Our driver was a navigator for a Baja 1000 team, drives short course trucks, and builds race truck. Sorry, cant remember his name.

The suspension is nuts. The position sensitive Bilsteins almost feel like GM magnaride as far as adaptability. Over the rocks it was super plush and soft and didnt bounce you around the cabin like an EB or older SFA 4wd. Once we got headed out of the trail its a mix of gravel and rutted mud roads. With the driver being a short course driver I said give it something gettin outta here. The suspension felt like it stiffened up and he said it feels amazing cause the faster you go the better it gets and its true.

We got back out on pavement and before we hit pavement he put it in SPORT mode. The 2.7 and 10sp does not lack in takeoff power. It took off and I said holy shit thats surprising. The turbos spooled very quickly and we were a few MPH over the 45mph speed limit.

The biggest surprise is how quiet it actually was. If you listen in the videos its just creeping along and you can barely hear the engine and its not very loud on the road either. It did have the MIC top with sound deadening headliner.

Got another ride along scheduled Saturday. Im hoping to get in a Badlands to see the sway bar disco since thats what I ordered.
I even got to meet the elusive @618TRVLWILD today.

How would you compare shoulder room to the B pillar in the 2 door compared with the 4 Door? I have seen a 4 door but not a 2 door.

I didn't sit in a 4 door.

I got my ride-a-long in early this morning in the rain! I myself was pretty impressed with the Carbonized Gray Wildtrak 4 door we were in. He punched it a few times in spots and it was the smoothest I ever felt on trails. I at least know now that I will not be disappointed with VB WT

Woo! A 2 door
