And both made by Webasto.
Point is you'd think that somebody would've found a better supplier.
If they couldn't keep up with FCA pre-covid, what kind of genius would think they could keep up with FCA AND Ford post-covid?
Can't wait to build a doghouse out of my MIC top and put a best top...
Tow rating is not purely a function of the hitch's attachment to the frame.
Wheelbase, power, braking capability, and other factors make up tow rating numbers.
Mostly braking. Try strapping a 6k lb trailer to your Bronco and watch your stopping distance quadruple.
1. Buy Big Bend or Black Diamond.
2. Wait for totalled, unsalvagable, Broncos to show up in junkyards.
3. Strip and intregrate systems and options into your Bronco.
Or just stop being cheap.
7 spd is brand new product. Made by the same company Ford used for it's last manual transmission failure.
The 7 spd is literally the only part of any drive train configuration that is untested in the real world.
Nobody selected transmission type at reservation. And nobody has ordered...
Go drive a Ranger, and a 2.7 equipped F-150.
Also when you take delivery, don't buy it if you don't like it.
And for the OP, a $1000/month car payment is ridiculous. Better put some money down.
Pretty sure the materials walk through stated that leather on Badlands removes washout floor and adds carpet due to leather seats being power.
But that doesn't mean much.
I've considered the Big Bend for a possible budget build because I want mid pack at least.
It was too far from my Base "budget" build and too close to my "all out" Badlands and Wildtrak builds to be of any use to me.
But I'm glad it'll find a home somewhere.
