[@QuillanRuf]

You had it right the first time it’s a sway bar not stay bar.

[@flyfishizationjones4940]

I was assuming Ford called theirs a “stay bar”.

[@OCRay1]

The Bronco is so impressive off-road as used straight off the lot with no upgrades. If you are serious off-road though you will absolutely need the Badlands with Sasquatch package. I really love this truck and i really didn’t expect to when they first announced they were bringing the Bronco back. 🤙🏻

Previously owned 2 Ford Raptors…My choice is WildTrak. It comes standard with the Better 2.7L engine and Sasquatch.

These Broncos are amazing but the Gen 2’s that come out in the future will be even better since Ford will refine the design after the first few years of people work through the things that could be improved

[@JasonParham83]

The same can be said for every vehicle ever produced. "Wait until next year and there will be something better"

[@Merica79]

It’s that the case with every new gen vehicle?

[@ratkicker007]

@@Merica79 yes that’s often true but it’s much more true in this case because the bronco is a purpose built off road vehicle to directly compete with wrangler. Most other vehicles are just road driving cars to take people from A to B so there isn’t much unknown about what dynamics, features and technology is needed to make a successful road driving car. But entry to the off road market involves more risk and unknown and therefore will have much more rooom for improvement in a gen 2. Especially since the bronco includes new design for fully independent front suspension, turbo engine, frameless doors and many other features not yet established strongly in the off road community. Jeep has solid front axle, most off road jeeps are naturally aspirated gas although they recnentky introduced turbo and diesel options, and jeeps have framed doors. All I’m saying is the gen 2 will be a big leap for the bronco because ford will have feedback from all the users about how many of these features last over time.

[@btw985]

3 things. That’s sandstone interior, not navy pier. Badlands doesn’t come standard with 33” MT. They’re only available with the optional wheel shown. Standard is 33” KO2’s. And wildtrak has standard 2.7L V6 where badlands has both engines and transmissions.

[@02hreblue30]

these are preproduction. They could have anything. He stated that.

[@KTMcaptain]

Quick disconnects or anti rock bar will probably be available for the Bronco so a disconnecting ARB isn’t really that huge of a deal considering you can defeat it easily and likely more reliably. Like auto locking hubs vs manual. This is coming from a Rubicon owner that has also disconnected their ARB on previous vehicles manually. Sure it’s nice, but when mine fails I’ll delete it via my tazer and just throw some quick disconnects on. Wish it had locking hubs instead of the FAD as well.

[@davey3765]

I'm in the process of buying a Bronco after giving up on plastic Jeeps, this video answered a LOT of questions for me THANK YOU. Jeep is dead to me.

[@CliffLoehr]

I believe the Sasquatch package (Wildtrack ) has a 10mm of up-travel loss in the articulation compared to the Badlands.

[@trentmarsh9033]

Is it just me but I just noticed that the badlands logo looks like a steer skull?

[@brandonmick9191]

I cant wait to see pne of these with a 6” lift get a little higher off the groud

[@MrCherrygrovedude]

No need. This thing has conquered Rubicon, Hell's Gate, etc on stock suspension. You want as much tire with as little lift as possible.

[@TugHillGuy]

Like I commented on your Squatch/non-Squatch video, the Badlands comes standard with BFG KO2 AT tires (285/70 R17) with non-beadlock machined aluminum wheels. GY Wrangler Territory MT tires with beadlock wheels, like in your video, are optional. Wildtrak comes standard with the 2.7L engine whereas Badlands comes standard with the 2.3L engine. Likewise, Wildtrak comes standard with the 10-speed automatic whereas Badlands comes standard with the 7-speed manual. Wildtrak comes standard with cloth seats whereas Badlands comes standard with mgv seats. Both trim packages have optional leather seats. Wildtrak comes standard with the mid package whereas Badlands comes standard with the standard package. Both optionally allow for the high and lux packages.

[@TugHillGuy]

Badlands also comes standard with the heavy-duty modular front bumper and powder-coated steel rear bumper whereas Wildtrak comes standard with standard Bronco bumpers. The standard front bumper has fog lamps whereas the modular front bumper does not.

[@rocksjoshua]

Maybe the crash bar on the Wildtrack is hidden, I feel like that is not something Ford would do, sacrifice safety for bigger tires. Maybe double check on that with Ford because a rear crash bar is one of the most important safety features you can have. Maybe they did ditch it, idk.

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

Kinda weird that the lower tier model gets the swaybar disconnect and a rock crawl mode, but the highest tier with the best suspension doesn't.

[@firegoat73]

Badlands is the rock crawl trim, Wildtrack is the high speed desert “raptor” style trim. They are aimed at different things.

Tommy and Andre over at TFL weren’t impressed with it. Even the B&O premium system. Their main complaint was that the rear speakers are all the way in the back, as opposed to the Wrangler that has them on the B-pillar sport bar. I’d like to see a full review of it though.

[@supermike0822]

FYI, the interior on this Wildtrak is not the blue, but is black onyx with the tan trim. I have a Wildtrak ordered with this interior. But this video really is making me second guess the Sasquatch package. Side by side they don’t look THAT much different. Wish they were parked front-end to front-end so I could see the side profiles. I got my WT with step boards but I really like the smaller fender flares on the BL non-Sas.

Hey! So i wanted the Outer Banks because as you've said, the color match fenders and door handles/mirrors are nice! But I am very interested in the mean big look that the sasquatch package offers. Since thats standard on the wildtrak - would you recommend going wildtrak + lux package, or stay with the outerbanks and add Sas? that way you get the mirrors and door handles color matched, but you get the lift and plastic fender flares. There are too many options, and I am confused...please advise :) ...other then outside appearance, idk what differences are with the wildtrak and the OB.

The front bumper, bash plates, rock rails and seats on the WT you are showing are all upgrades. WT has sandstone - not navy pier - but it does have the non-matching blue interior accents for some unknown reason. WT = fugly interior, no sta-bar disconnect, no wash out, no rock rails or tube step, less undercarriage armor. As configured, the two you have shown are both ~59k assuming they are Lux interior. -sure leather would drive up the BL but then you lose the washout.

Question I want to know the answer to: Since Badlands doesn't have sport mode and Wildtrak does, can you emulate sport on the Badlands by selecting Baja and changing to 2H or 4A?

You don’t need “Rock Crawl” mode to do any “rock crawling”. Just put it in 4Lo & 1st gear and go to town. The one major mode to be concerned with is Baja, it minimizes/turns off most/ all of the built in safety mechanisms and remaps throttle, brake and transmission control for high speed joy😃

@@skyfirefly76 Sport mode is for spirited on-road driving, sport mode increases throttle response and provides a sportier steering feel - along with quicker shifting.

sway bar- and IFS is very limited compared to a solid axle. Even with a disconnected or removed swaybar, you will not get nearly the articulation that you can get with a solid axle. That said an IFS vehicle will go many places, but its not as ideal wheen wheeling in areas with large ledges and rocks. Looks like you guys went on some pretty easy trials there.

[@Skruteas]

I find the aftermarket disconnect on my FJ Cruiser is more about comfort on the "pre-trail" than actual trail performance. It allows the IFS to eat up some of the bigger potholes without compromising steering.
