I'm sure they're C rated like the Rubicon and Raptor.

The disconnect in the Badlands is not quite the same as the Wrangler, it's much less cumbersome to use, you just put it into Rock/Crawl mode and forget about it. You're right that it's probably unnecessary except in very intense situations. IMO the Black Diamond with 'Squatch would be at least...

My guess is that the Badlands-specific coilovers are a little shorter than the Sasquatch, that's how you'd lift any other vehicle with adjustable coilovers. I'm sure the Bilsteins aren't user adjustable but they could set them to different height from the factory and it wouldn't be a big deal. I...

315/70/17 are actually 34.4" tall, the 255/70/16 are 30.1". 34.4"-30.1"=4.3"/2=2.15" So 35s are 2.15" taller than 30s. 71.9"+2.15"=74.05" So subtract the height of Wildtrak 75.2"-74.05" and tada, 1.15", round to 1.2". Do the same with Badlands, 285/70/17 are 32.7-30.1=2.6/2=1.3...

The Badlands has a special suspension compared to other models. We don't know exactly what that means, but may include a small lift. If you compare a 2 door Wildtrak to a Base the math works out correctly for a 1.2 inch lift.

Ford is not telling you or customers like you to get bent, they're trying to convince you they've made a better product and you're stomping your feet instead of listening.

You don't have to go all the way up to 33s if you don't want, 265/75/16 is a 32" tire (same size as Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Outer Banks) that will give you a touch more ground clearance than your Ranger and has lots of choices in the A/T category.

I'm thinking this might be appropriate with my preferred color and package:

IFS is not a bug, it's a feature. As the engineers said in the Jalopnik article, once you hit FIVE mph, the Bronco is better at EVERYTHING on and off road. If anything, the Wrangler can't compete with the Bronco, because it does exactly one thing well in comparison. I've spent plenty of time in...

Here is the description of Sport mode in a Raptor. I assume it's basically the same in the Bronco: Sport Mountain passes are no longer just for Mustang, thanks to Raptor sport mode. For spirited on-road driving, sport mode increases throttle response and provides a sportier steering feel –...

FWIW the Ranger got a "Good" (highest) rating in the same test from the photo of the Jeep in the OP.

If you're gonna do that kind of stuff you should just 'Squatch it up. If you get into it you're gonna want to lift it and put better tires on very quickly anyway. I think all of the trims with 32" tires are going to have about 9" of ground clearance (8.3 -.4" that they published for the Base...

I would not get Base because you can't get heated seats. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

Functionally the First Edition looks to be the Badlands with every option box ticked (hardtop, Squatch, 2.7, Lux package, leather interior, etc) plus some visual/trim bits that are unique to only the First Edition.

lol. The first journalist to ride in one and his comment about the experience is, "The doors come off!"

Eh. I think that will be more of a thing with people buying off the lot, looking for the cheapest one they can find. Presumably people on here are all ordering from the factory so they can balance priorities and get the 2.7 if they want it. I'd personally rather have a Black Diamond with 2.7...

We moved to Nevada in 2004. Our first camping trip was to Rachel. We wrote our names on the Mailbox, drove out the the "gate" of Area 51, had lunch and chatted with the locals at the Little A'Le'Inn, then dry docked out on a Jeep trail. All in a 99 Hyundai Accent, BTW. There was only one color...

I'm sure they are basically the same as on the Raptor. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/img/me/en/news/2017/05/02/f-150-raptor-terrain-modes-where-we-re-going-we-don-t-need-roads.html

If by highest you mean tallest/most ground clearance, there is no difference between the Wildtrak and any other trim with the Sasquatch package as far as I can tell.

If you gotta have the manual you gotta have the manual. That's yours to sort out though. I want the power and the fat tires. YMMV
