A Badlands with the stuff I want is almost 55k, and that's before we even get the cool add ons and options. I was hoping for 50k, but I've got 3-6 months longer to wait than I had initially hoped. I can probably just stave the difference. It's pretty expensive, no lie, but I don't want to get...
I was considered not putting the squatch on my badlands, but my wife gave it the thumbs down. "Why buy a badass off road rig and not make it over the top?" lol. She's awesome.
Going 2 tone; Carbonized Gray with black top, bumpers, etc. I want to get a cool graphics kit to put on it, for a little more retro style. (This pic is cactus gray with the molded in gray top, but I love that stripe. I'm pretty set on getting it if I can.)
Another Badlands vs Wildtrak thread? Sweet! lol
Just add packages to the Badlands, and you get a Wildtrak that can rock crawl. Wildtrak has zero unique features that cannot be added to a badlands. It will just be more expensive than you probably want to pay.
Baja is for high speed, but allows...
I wish that were true. Some of us will be really stoked, and moderately shocked at how much our dream builds will cost. There will also be a huge amount of complaining. They will ask the same questions; manual-squatch, interior colors, vinyl, etc.
I want a Wildtrak with vinyl and drain floors. Since that's not an option, I have to add all of the packages and options to a badlands. It will cost a little more I assume, but it'll get me the off roader features also. Can't hurt.
I really love the way a 2 door looks, but we have in laws visit us multiple times per year. Old people can't crawl over seats into the back. So, I will be getting a 4 door.
I've got one of these right now, and I love it. It has the raised suspension and off road capable tires. It's about 2500lbs. I won't be doing crazy trail driving, but I'll be going off the beaten path to set up in cool locations.
The best security system is leaving nothing in the car when parking in the city. Hopefully there are some good technological solutions. I don't want my expensive rig messed with.
Exactly. I need that sound deadening, and I want the 12" screen. The remote start from the mid package is nice too in hot or cold weather. Leave the AC or Heat on, and it'll be good to go in a few minutes.
I'm getting a badsquatch too. I'll get a High package and shadow black top too. I understand tech isn't ideal for over landing, but this is my daily also. I can afford to fix it, and I'm not off roading alone. It'll be fine.
I love the fastback look of the cage. I hope there is a replacement back cover on the aftermarket to give a more sleek and streamlined look. Obv, this is a jeep, but I always liked seeing wranglers with this look.
Edit: Also, i want to agree completely with the OP. The 4 door without doors...
I'm totally stoked. I just went to a Ford dealer and looked at paint. I know all of the colors aren't available, but they had some new Raptors that looked good. Rapid Red got me turning my head. I've been between Shadow Black and Carbonized Gray, but there is a new challenger.
Drive to the mall, take a "glamour shot" with one tire up on a curb, and post it on this forum. Then I'm taking my wife for a drive down the Columbia River Gorge with the top and doors off.
