Help me decide: 2023 OBX High w/SAS vs Wildtrak Lux or maybe Wildtrak High

[Agswin]

Wildtrak with Lux package — 2.7L turbo engine, 10 speed transmission and Fox suspension overall make a great vehicle.

You can get the 2.7 engine amid LUX package onthe Badlands, I chose to not include the LUX on either build.

Seems like the question is whether the Fox 3.0 is worth the $3820 premium

Definitely go with the Fox 3.0 - it’s what makes the Bronco a GOAT with that 10 speed tranny….IMO.

What do the shocks have to do with the transmission?

better shocks = less bouncing on the transmission when driving it?

If you want to take full advantage of the dial-in 10 speed off-road, you’ll be glad it’s equipped with Fox 3.0 — if you’re not planning on driving in various off-roading conditions, they’re not needed.

…
My offroad is limited to going up to the mountains for mountain biking, skiing and light exploring…

Any thoughts

Buy a Suburu Forester.

I just built these 2 online:

2024 OBX - 2.7, SAS, Mid Pkg, HT, Aux switches and it came out to $60,735.
2024 WT - 2.7, SAS, Mid Pkg, HT and it came out to $64,555

Seems like you get a whole lot more with the WT for $3820. If one could afford the extra, is there an advantage in getting the OBX or just personal preference?

Ford fucked it all up in 2024, because a non-sasquatch 2.7 cloth interior high or lux package with the advanced 4x4 is much cheaper and arguably a good value.
