Honestly if you want a bad ass trail rig for the NW, ole Sassy's home. Then, 35's are over compensating for driving ability. 33's will roll through over and through everything. If your more old school and don't care about the looks then tall skinnies are where its at!!! They may drive a bit...
Can 35 inch tires fit in the badlands stock? YouTube videos of the 2019/2020 ranger with the the 2.3l ecoboost seems to have no problems offroad with 35's. But, that platform uses the automatic. I think the badlands with a 2.3 and a manual would work well with it too.
