The ko2 set i had were slick in the rain, so I'd pass for that reason alone.
The factory squatch tires have pretty good reviews, except for throwing gravel.
They are NOT mud terrains.
The MT is supposed to mean "max traction" , per Goodyear marketing or product development team.
If you want an...
Rocking a solid 45000 miles now!!!
Kiddo has her own ride but uses the Bronco for bad weather or bad communities.
Camaros were #1 and #3 on the most stolen ranking.
(ZL1's #1 and all other models #3)
Lol
2021 2dr Base 2.3 , 7spd
No issues.
Trans BARELY makes any noise when cold.
Fun vehicle to have.
Gets many looks and comments when I have the 35's on it.
I loved the 4dr softy I had for awhile. It was fine in the winter and VERY very convenient in the warmer months. I opened it up far more often than the 2dr MIC I have. (Dirt Mountain 1.0 top, no issues thus far, short of some minor cosmetics)
I have a strong preference for going safari style...
Yeah, you can .... you'll end up a few bucks away from a standard Badlands, which is 95% Squatch anyways, plus a few more bells and whistles than the Base.
I don't recall exactly, but 2024 or 25 Badlands came with Mid package PLUS the heated steering wheel.
That's what I'd aim for, base or Mid...
In the reverse of that, Dad's 1/2 ton Chebby truck would chew up the SL rears, which we attributed to towing the boat on some pretty long haul fishing trips.
It's not al that heavy, but it must have counted for something.
He switched to E rated and gets really good life out of them now.
Not sure what the previous 4 pages covered, but my base Base came with SL rated tires. (30")
I've considered some of the SL rated 285/70-17's (33's) knowing that they are definitely up to snuff for carrying the weight of the Bronco.
The SL rated tires often have a softer compound that will...
The State Farm site/app had a few shops for me to choose from, luckily one was an independent old timer I've used in the past several times.
Not that you are limited to only those shops.
In this state, that cannot dictate the repair shop.
FYI, next set could/will be 255/85-17 (35's) or 285/75-17 ..... far outside chance of 315's or 35x12.5's.
Hope to add some lift as well, no more than 2". (twss)
No lift needed ... unless you will offroad it or just want the look.
Once upon a time, I ran 35 x 11.5 toyos on my base Base with +35mm Methods ( same as Ford Performance Methods they offer)
Zero issues on the street...
Yeah, we're being overrun with the good folks from Illi-noise over here, just to the east of Chi-Raq.
You can spot them living in the fast lane ... going slowly. HA!!
I haven't heard much lately about those handful of counties that want to secede from Illinios to become Hoosiers. LOL!
I remember going WEEKS sometimes between ASS events.
Now that I see the list, I realize "defrost" is my default choice for the HVAC, which apparently eliminates ASS events.
Also, with my manual trans, the ASS is MUCH less intrusive than with the automatic trans Badlands I had.
With the...
3 pages deep now, not sure what all the other replies covered, but here is my testimony ... lol
I've posted this in a lot "towing" threads over the years.
I've towed the same load with numerous "trucks" ... The load being my Dad's Ranger fish-n-ski boat.
A year or three back I dropped the boat...
