Decision to make: Wildtrak vs Outer Banks

[Baja Bronco]

the heated steering wheel is a must for me in the winter

Yeah, I’ve used it a couple of times when it got cool in Tucson.

I was lucky enough to find an outerbanks with lux package and high package and Sasquatch, absolutely love my truck!!

Just bought a WT with high package and miss having heated steering wheel and adaptive cruise. I am coming out of a platinum F150 that had everything including massage seats.

Outer banks is great and I like their brown leather more than the WT, but WT looks cooler from the outside especially with the side graphics package and standard hood graphic. Also, there’s no debating the Fox shocks are a better ride and the thing is a beast standard.

Hope all goes well with your order!

If you’re not doing any rigorous off-roading, get the OBX.

Im loving my 2023 2 Door Shadow Black Wildtrak (with Lux) and Best Top Slant Back Soft Top.
(I have had occasions where I used the heated steering wheel and heated seats features and endorse those options)

I was a day 1, reservation holder. I put in a reservation for a WT. I just liked the image of the exterior they originally had back then on the reservation site. Anyway 3 years later and many reorders; I finally got my Bronco. Thru out that time, I changed my mind a lot about the WT trim. It changed frequently (loss of painted modular roof, loss of painted door handles, loss of black mirror caps, even the grill changed from what was an OB grill to a painted Badlands grill). It got a bit frustrating. Then read and listened to the “experts “ about what trim to get; and which ones to skip. Many of those “experts” panned the WT because they couldn’t understand the trim level. Especially Badlands advocates. So it was a bit of a struggle deciding on which way to go. In the end I stayed WT. I’m very happy, the HOSS 3.0 suspension is awesome! It made up for all the cosmetic changes that , now don’t bother me at all.
Get what you want! It’s your money and make whatever you get your own!

Love my Outerbanks! Non sas with 4.27 and 2.7l engine with lux and put hoss 3.0 fox suspension on! Do like the interior options more through outer banks. Plus paint matched parts look great! Buy what you like but I bought and built exactly what I wanted and wouldn’t change a thing… unless it was a raptor but hoping raptor swaps will be a thing on the bronco

I would say Wildtrak w/high package is a great ride. You really can't go wrong with that, unless you really want something the Lux gives on top of high or OBX. In which case, there's your answer. But a WT High is a great ride.

Going to order my bronco this week. Had one but found it it was sold. Miscommunication with my dealer. Any suggestions on wildtrak vs outer banks. I like look of wildtrak but I can do a comparable or more outer banks for better number. Also my dealer won’t maker adjust for me so deal is deal. Other question lux package or high package. Coming from loaded F150 Lariat. Thoughts ?

Go Wildtrak. Don't even think about it.

How expensive was the m190 swap & gear swap? You do lockers too? Good looking truck.

So you ended up with the WT with high package. Kind of leaning towards that. I read that the HOSS suspension improves ride.

HOSS suspension is much nicer/softer in my opinion. Save the money IF your gonna replace the suspension with King or Icon.

It’s the 4 advanced model came with those gears and rear diff lock

I have had an OBX for 13 months. Lux package, no squatch. I put after market 17" fuel rims and 33" tires on it on day one. This configuration has suited me great and I have never missed the sasquatch options. This route allowed me to pick my own rims and tires, which I like way better. I drive off-road way more than most for work in the back country of AZ, although I am not a rock hopper. I chose the OBX because no matter how much off-roading I do I still drive on-road more than 90% of the time and want to be comfortable AMAP. The OBX offers more creature comforts. Also, I am 6' 1" and 33" tires allowed me to get into the seat without using the step, which was important to me, although probably not to others. I could not have done that with sasquatch.

LUX package is probably over-priced for what you get but it has some usable options. The phone charge pad IS junk. The B & O sound is okay to good, not great. I use adaptive cruise control every day. The interior lighting, or virtual lack of it, is my biggest disappointment, but that will be the same no matter which model you go with. I have been looking for a good after-market solution for the lighting, but I haven't found one yet.

I hope that helps. Overall, I love the Bronco and it is hands down the best vehicle I have owned, with the Hummer H2 coming in second. I am confident that you will love whichever one you decide on.

Hmmm if you are coming out of a loaded Lariat, then you will want a LUX package. I came out of a Harley Davidson Package. I wanted everything my Harley had, including power seats on both sides, and leather. I also wanted the big screen since I had put a 14.5 in the Harley.

I ended up with a Badlands with the LUX, which gave me everything I had on the Harley Davidson sans aircool seats. I have the leather, I have full power, I have the 13' screen, I have the B&O (for what its worth) and dual AC. Also the 360 system, front/back cams, and the adaptive system. Basically, everything my Harley had.

Now, I have done all the other mods, see sig, and I have my off-road RIG which is the reason why I sold the Harley in the first place. As for a OBX or Wildtrack, the Wildtrack with the new HOSS 3.0 setup is the new popular kid on the block. Its already 3/4 of the way there for serious off-roading. The OBX is like the SUV/Off Roader model. It will have all of the luxury, and you can add the capability to it. All of the Bronco's are capable, and all can be made to do whatever it is you want to do. The difference is at what level will you start at.

My Opinion? Get a Wildtrack with the LUX package. Get the HD bumper. Then all you really need to do is add some skid plates, and whatever else you would like. You will have all the comforts of your Lariat, and some serious off-road chops.
