I got the non-SAS Base (with V6/auto -- 2022) and added OBX tires/rims. I'm happy enough with it, but I wish I would have gotten SAS just for the heck of it, but you have to understand your MPG will go down by probably 1-3 MPG. I get 21-24 MPG with the V6 on crummy California gas. If you're good with lower MPG... get SAS.

As I said -- wish I would have... even paying probably $1.50 more for gas than you.

yes, exactly this. Badlands gets you all the good stuff the sas comes with except you get better looking wheels, you get k02s which are way better than the gy wranglers, and you get normal sized flares, plus you get the sway bar disconnect. Essentially for the sas as an “upgrade” over the badlands you’re paying like $6k to get a $300 spacer lift, uglier wheels, worse tires, and wider plastic flares (that look extra goofy on a 2 door).
I don't think Badlands come with KO2 anymore. Now, they are a 285/70/r17 Goodyear Territory lol

There is a base ManSquatch 2dr showing in Pampa (north of Amarillo). It's got some of what I would have ordered, including the block heater...important to some.

But the price may not apply based on a given buyer’s place of residence. There have been some great deals on 2025 Broncos like that one that I pursued and have been told by multiple dealers across a variety of states that Ford wouldn’t allow them to offer me the advertised rebates based on my specific residence. So for example, whereas some buyers might be able to get the additional $4500 off, I would have had to pay $3500 more for the exact same vehicle at the same dealer. That’s the vehicle price, not taxes or fees or such. So basically Ford is saying that if I want a new 2025 Bronco off the lot, I have to pay $3500 more than what others have to pay simply because I live in a certain zip code. Perhaps I should put my money on a sticker instead. Haha

LOL gotta love dynamic geopricing! Good thing can get an LLC for $150 any state you want an guarantee the loan / finance if needed.

There always straw buyers like lawyers who will do it for $500.

Frankly, it's insulting to consumers.

thank you all for your help and suggestions!

In the end I sat down, did the math, and the torque calculations, and discovered that ultimately the base was objectively the best choice for me..... and then I realized that I simply wanted the badlands, and I was running late for my mid-life crisis, so I ordered the badlands. You only live once and I won't be taking the money with me.

It should be ready by the end of march, and my current transportation should last past then.

2025 Base 2D SAS Auto daily driver in the mountains of Western NC. Tow a 17” center console weighing in just under 3k loaded. After 9300 miles in just under a year of ownership, I can say it’s my favorite 4wd vehicle I’ve owned.
