Has anyone ordered the Big Bend Bronco with Badlands package?

[vapour99]

I am looking at the Big Bend model with the Badlands package. Has anyone else ordered it? What made you opt for this over as full Badlands model?

not sure if you mean the Black Diamond Package or the SAS package...there is no Badlands package...Badlands is its own trim...hope that clarifies... Myself just ordered a Badlands 2dr manual transmission, why i didn't choose the black diamond i really didn't like the wheels on the black diamond and you can't get it in a 2dr.

Thank you for the correction. My aging eyes missed that one. Yes the lack of two door is a real pain but the cost difference is sizeable to move up the Badlands. I am planning to use it mostly as a daily driver but I do drive in the country a fair bit and use unpaved side roads which in winter are covered in snow and ice.

Sounds like a Big Bend would be good...do you plan on going off road other than dirt roads? if the answer is yes i would consider the Black Diamond Package. Slightly bigger all terrain tires and a lock rear diff to name a few...good luck with your search

I would probably do some basic off roading. Not to mention I live in a city that has six months of snow. this past year we had several blizzards and the roads get damaged from ice. I was interested in the Automatic 4A function and this seems to be the cheapest way to get it.

Get the 2 door - you will be SO happy you did. If you end of with a Badlands, get someone to help you to activate 'Sport Mode'. You will have a perma-smile driving your new Bronco.

I just tried the 4-door version of the Badlands for the first time this weekend at NV OffRoadeo ... sweet, capable beast ... and that one Hero switch that I don't have on my HE for the swaybar disconnect came in very handy 2-3 times in keeping me better planted and moving through & past obstacles that may have left me momentarily "turtled."

Very impressive package.

Black Diamond (when it was stand alone trim) is a very nice package thats often overlooked

If you want a 2 door you have to go all the way to Badlands to get a locking rear axle, which is pretty important off road on the Bronco since they like to teeter on three wheels a lot. If you're going for door you can get a rear locker in the Black Diamond Package which is a great way to go.

The 2dr BD doesnt get a rear locker anymore?

The 2 dr BD no longer exists in my26, but you can get a rear locker on a 2 door Base.

I knew they dropped the trim level and added it as an option on the big bend. I just looked and they dropped the 2dr big bend so I guess that means no 2dr BD period.

For me, personally, OffRoadeo NV cemented for me that for that type of rugged terrain, the longer 4-door wheelbase is right for me.

I know the 2-door loyalists will swear it can do anything and go anywhere the 4-door can, ... ... but for me, I'm more confident in the 4 door.

Big Bend is only 4 door now.

You can not get a locker on the Base without Sasquatch
