Here are a couple of other discussions that might help:

Badlands vs Black Diamond: Advice?
I ran the same equation, and decided on Badlands (possibly non-Sasquatch to close the gap further). Nothing wrong with the BD, but I suspect that a...
No, the Black Diamond does not come with (nor can you add) Signature LED lights. You need to drop down to Big Bend to add them as an option for ~$800, or move up to the Badlands to get them standard.
Doug Demuro is quirky and his videos have the same format, but I can't wait for his video of a production Bronco. He highlights the features so many of us are pining for:
How does the rear seat fold?
What does a tall person look like in the back seat?
What does the plastic on the dash feel...
Thanks for posting!
At 3:07, is that the Bronco Sport Keyless Keypad Entry? That's a really nice implementation compared to what B&P shows for the real Bronco.
B&P shows this ... just like my mom's 1996 Crown Victoria back in the day.
There's no wrong answer, but I'd go with Option 1: Badlands with 2.7, non-squatch, high pack.
Given the off road nature of the Bronco, I see the Badlands as a slightly more desirable. You get the sway bar disconnect, and I think the 33 ATs will have better on-road manners than the 35 MTs.
My...
I am of two minds on this, but now I'm leaning toward BL with no Sasquatch. It's only $500 more than the loaded BD+sas, and I gain the sway bar disconnect, high level dash (who knows what that means), signature lighting (don't really care, but whatever), and perhaps some interior upgrades...
There are maybe 3-5 dealers that have offered to beat X-Plan. Now that it's gone, I guess we'll see if it was an average deal or a great one. With so many dealers sticking to MSRP only, I suspect few will get close to what the X-Plan deal was aside from those with dealers that have already...

It's not just about the money. That's part of it, but for me it's as much about finding someone who you trust. There are dealerships that say they will take X-Plan, but won't put it in writing. When asked about mandatory dealer add-ons like VIN etching, they get cagey and say no decisions have...
The way I read it, if you are making a vehicle sale, then you don't need to collect sales tax. If you are making a vehicle purchase, then ... "If a Colorado resident purchases a motor vehicle outside of Colorado and registers it in Colorado, the purchaser must pay Colorado use tax and any...
