Anyone who wants it for off-roading will get a Rubicon or a Willy's (if they want the lower price point) anyways... which would still retain the solid axle.
Anyone who buys a Sahara doesn't want it for off-roading, so the IFS would be a great bonus to those who buy a Jeep and drive it like a...
If you want the mid package with the manual (YAY) you need to go Badlands. If you want the mid package with the automatic (BOO) you can go with the BD...
That was my dilemma - Badlands is out of my price range, so I chose the manual over the mid package on my BD. I'm only 30 years old and still...
I voted "yes", but it is not a trim I am looking for. FORD, JUST MAKE A COLD WEATHER PACKAGE THAT CAN BE ADDED TO ALL TRIMS! It also blows my mind that I cannot have heated seats with a manual transmission unless I bump up to a Badlands. Some of these packaging tactics Ford used are very...
Awesome to see that @Ford Motor Company is starting updates! Now can we hope for a round (and larger) digital tachometer in the instrument cluster? Every reviewer I’ve heard dislikes the current tachometer and I feel the same way after my test drives.
Review looks good with one exception:
“Badlands was more nimble”
The Badlands is heavier (even if it is a 2-dr and the Big Bend is a 4-dr). Sasquatch package with giant tires and softer suspension would make it much less nimble. It has the 2.7 which, while giving more torque, feels more...
Yikes! Just converted my reservation to a '22 order last Saturday... 4-door Black Diamond with MIC hard top. Figured the revision to the tops, while it may take a while to get my order built, would have resolved the cosmetic and functionality issues as well as the "clicking" and rattling shown...
Referring to handling. Sasquatch is albsolutely "smoother" meaning bumps and pot holes are less noticeable with the larger tires. BUT (and this is a big but), the handling is more "floppy" as I said in my other reply on here. It is harder to turn the steering wheel at speed, more body roll, the...
Not sure what OP will post about mileage after break-in period, but if you are surprised that SAS knocks off 3-4 MPG then you should read into the physics of unsprung mass, rotational mass, tire weights, and rolling resistances. Sasquatch package will make the vehicle much less efficient with...
City Slickers at Off-Roadeo:
"Oh my goodness, look at the deer! It's amazing to be out in nature where we can see something so peaceful"
Myself:
"Fucker's lucky he's not in season right now"
I probably see one every 1-2 years and I live in the central region of the state. If you're driving around the Burlington area you probably won't see any. If you're driving around the Northeast Kingdom (the most rural region) you will probably see at least one per year. These are guesses, of...
Woah, woah, woah... just wait one second. I'm always kind on here and I totally get the "to each their own" mentality, which is a good thing for a vehicle that will have seemingly endless aftermarket options... but this is OBJECTIVELY terrible. It looks awful - doesn't even seem to fit right...
HA! Oops... where IN VT but glad you got it. I have also been asked if that is a Canadian Province. And most people who do actually know where it is just say "boy, must be cold up there".
These look awesome! Glad you stuck with the Duelers from the factory as well - this thing looks great and keeps its on-road manners with tires that aren't meant for too much off roading. To anyone who is going to be crawling around the mall parking lots (no shame), this is the kind of wheel/tire...
Any clue if there is a plan or at least a "plan of a plan" to fix the windows on the soft top? Everything we have seen so far has those very noticeable waves and wrinkles in the side windows. Rear windshield in the soft top doesn't seem to be as bad as the side windows, but still not tight...
Any luck with this stuff? I am looking into it now and I believe I am going with a Black Diamond. I want to know what the difference is between the HOSS system in the base, BB, BD, OBX and the HOSS system in the BL, WT, FE, and Sasquatch. Is the stock HOSS system just a fancy acronym for the...
