Badlands or Wildtrack

[jabarger1]

Locking at getting a leftover 24 in the next month or two. Trying to decide between the two. Know the wild track comes with the Hoss 3.0 suspension and steering rack and from what I kind find the Badlands comes with the Hoss 2.0 and standard rack, which is known to give issues if wheeled hard...primary use will be as a DD, light towing, moderate wheeling maybe twice a month...have 30+ years off roading experience in 1st gen broncos...currently have two of those, but neither will see much off road duty.

I’ve never driven the Badlands but I currently own a 2024 Wildtrak and with the 3.0 fox suspension along with the 2.7 Ecoboost set the vehicle in Sport Mode it’s just unbelievable.

I did the best of both worlds. Added Fox shocks and the steering rack to a Badlands SAS, along with Sport mode.

I love my (now-rare) WT. I can disconnect the stay bar with a socket. Love the Fox suspension. And yes, it handles beautifully at speed. And I like the interior. But I’m not in the all black leather, dash, etc crowd.

Oh really? Didn't realize that. The skid plates are still an option in 24 though, right?

The modular bumper includes front bash plates, while full bash plates are an option for the 2024 Wildtraks. I recently bought a 2024 Wildtrak, but unfortunately, it only has front bash plates. I doubt many dealers will offer full bash plates in their Wildtraks from factory . I believe any Sasquatch-based Bronco should come with full bash plates standard . The standout Wildtrak feature for me is the HOSS 3.0 Fox suspension, and I love the black accents with the Eruption Green. Both the Badlands and Wildtrak are great options. The Badlands comes standard with full bash plates, rock rails, and a stabilizer bar disconnect, and it has an upgraded interior like stitching on the dash, unlike the Wildtrak. I’m a fan of the Wildtrak's tan and black interior paired with Eruption Green. I previously owned a 2022 Badlands SAS, and I can confidently say both models perform excellently. It ultimately comes down to what features you will value. They are both awesome trucks. The HOSS 3.0 is awesome and was worth it for me. The Badlands is just has more trail ready out the box something you’ll have to add to the Wildtrak after like rear steel bumper, rock rails etc
