its really the sound of the wind your hearing in a ST vs a HT. Measurements should be similar because your also hearing the engine and tires which generally speaking are louder then wind noise. No options is "quiet" but a HT has less wind noise over a soft top and less environment noise bleed in...
weight? then you dont want either trim as they both have steel front and rear bumpers along with full bash plates. Get a base, big bend or Outer banks as they all have non of those things even with SAS pkg. Additionally you dont need SAS for driving on a beach. Any bronco should be fine on sand...
The internet says its a better on road ride, soft more comfortable. If you plan on ordering a raptor (as I am) just go raptor. Its more capable and better in all ways aside from how wide it is. It should also have better resale value. Our 23 WT should be delivered in a month Ill let you know...
yup just noticed this today WT,HT,hoop step,4dr green 60595$, now its 62095. Rebuild my spec online for fun and noticed it was $1500 more than my invoice price. I gata pay $1500 for shipping so mentally I care less about paying that now :)
looking over the add im not sure they actually post a picture of their bumper. Looks to be stock images of the OEM bumper and a short video of them 3d scanning the MOD bumper. Anyone see any actual install photos of this clone?
Also looking over the add it shows the incorrect year and no mention...
In my mind I like the idea of a BL more with its rugged interior and standard steel bits like bash plates and rear bumper. A WT with better suspension on road so everyone seems to say logically would still get me most of the off road function of the BL but better on road manners. Since I will...
ya gata find a good dealer selling for msrp. My one dealer calls me when they get something new. Got a call this morning for a SAS BL v6 but it was red and a soft top. keeping my current WT order.
try Carmax first and use that as a barometer what you know your cars worth. Ask the dealer what they would give you for a trade in also remember you get a tax break on the trade in towards the other vehicle.
I would say if you cant afford something don't buy it. Expecting to get more cash when selling it in this market I think you would break even at best, don't forget you need to factor in sales tax with your ROI. If anything you could buy it, sell the hard top for cash, get someone's take off soft...
always go OEM, IMO cause it has a warranty, it works and it gets you more on resale. If you plan on making it look and function like a SAS just go for a SAS build to start.
that good feed back thanks. Im curious to the weight of the factory plates vs aluminum ones now? I was looking for an aluminum bumper sadly nothing I loved. I really just want an OEM steel one but cant seem to find any.
For some medium off roading over woody rocky terrain I live in MA so off roading around here NH and Maine most likely maybe a trip to VT. Ideally nothing bad enough that I need a winch, recovery straps and a jack would be about as aggressive as I plan. Most so just looking for piece of mind...
