Great info like always! Thanks again! I love my Badlands Sasquatch with 2.7! Had it for 16 months and haven’t done anything extreme on it. Drive like a dream!
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews tuff choice brother! I didn’t even know what I ordered. When I put the order in. I just saw guys on TH-cam that went with the Sasquatch Badlands and my wife said I can get what ever trim I want! Haven’t even off road yet!
@ ramonahumada4: Well, I've done some scary/hardcore rock-climbing with mine: The curbs in my parking lot are maybe 7" high -- had to give them 100% attention AND have a Spotter (we had 2-way radios) in order to avoid a possible roll-over. Was still a bit shaken afterwards -- didn't think they'd be THAT difficult -- so am not attempting curbs for a while...will stick to the pavement for the most part in the future and leave that kind of extreme off-roading to the professionals. -- BR
Hey you guys, caught the video about 6 hours late but you asked to keep you posted on my order. Well, thanks to Tim and the crew at Long Mc, they ordered it for me all the way from Florida. Got my confirmation email. Only 10% for the 2 door but🤞🤞🤞
Didn’t realize that about the Wildtrack! I’ve only been off road a few times with my 21 stock badlands. Bought a JCR soft top rack and roof top tent for it, and plan on doing more camping/off roading at Alpine lakes in my backyard in Tahoe. Doubt I will need to improve the suspension, but time will tell if I need to upgrade it and tires.
Just recently received my 23 WildTrak. Couldn't be more happier. My WildTrak comes with many standard features that the Badlands are at extra cost. I consider her the off-road Mustang GT of the two, especially since I'm not into rock crawling and the paint scraping that comes along with it lol. Sway bar disconnect... big deal 🫤
I think you've made excellent points on why someone should buy the Wildtrak. We added skid plates and strong running board so we could safely rock crawl. V love hour while track bronco and I have owned well over seventy vehicles and it is favorite vehicle of all time. Marie wants this Bronco to grow old with us.. Thank you for taking the time to drop a comment. You're kindness is appreciated, and it does help. Our community grow as youtube only suggests videos that have a lot of comments
For most people like me who off-road one or twice per year, prob not worth it. For me, about 50k is the most I want to spend on this kind of vehicle so the Wildtrack 2.0 was good enough😀
@ Ryan: Me, too - $50K was plenty...but I got a Gladiator Rubicon. Besides, even if I WANTED a Bronco (didn't) they were only advertising hype back then -- VaporWare -- and stayed only hype for months and months, so no one could actually GET one. Enjoy your Wildtrack. "Jeep Wave" (Yes, I Jeep Wave at Broncos, too...even if I don't see many of them here). -- BR
FINISHER! Thanks Johny! I’d be more optimistic on your ETA since you ordered a soft top, and even more so if you went with a high pkg rather than a lux. Myself, I ordered a 4-dr, HT, WT from Tim primarily for the suspension and steering rack & tie rods upgrades. I plan on keeping my Bronco for a long time and sticking with the stock suspension over the long haul. One can spend $$$$ upgrading shocks/lifting and I don’t think I’ll be getting that carried away. It’s lifting and putting bigger tires like 40’s that overload the stock steering components. I know from personal experience one mod leads to stressing another component, to another and so on. That’s ok if you’ve got the $ and time to keep pouring into it. To each their own, eh. Hope you get your WT sooner than later. Positive waves!
Marine vet thank you for the positive vibes. Here in canada we still have snow but it is sunny and considerably warm for the time of year. Funny that you should mention Funny that you should mention upgrades as just today Upgrades because today I built online a OBX and the fox system was 5k plus 1.2k for the steering rack and 300 for tie rods and about 1k in labour's I presume. Then 37s and wheels for 3 to 4k and at 10 to 11k I'm over the price of the Wildtrak but I'm 2 inches higher with 37s and very likely poor resale value so I'm thinking we made the right choice
I have a 22 wildtrak with a soft top and I love it. I originally wanted a badlands hard top. I am very happy I went with the soft top. I know some badlands are having trouble with the sway bar disconnect within the first few hundred miles. You can always add manual swaybar disconnect to the wildtrak. The soft top has been great as well. Hard tops have way too many problems still.
FINISHER Pick the build that you will enjoy for 99% of the miles driven ON THE ROAD the best. Any of the three options mentioned will let you survive your 1% off road adventures.
when I first ordered a wildtrak in july of 21 it was70,000 cdn and change got bumped to a 22 the price when I paid for it in mar 22 was msrp 74,980 cdn dollars the exact same order today is 88,545 cdn quit a increase in a year and a half . I have the bilstein shocks but I am changing them to icon stage 6 system withy icon tie rods I wonder how they compare with the fox 3.0 , whats your thought
I can only speculate but I expect the icon stage 6 system to be as good as the point 5 internal bypass system. That's on the hoss three point oh. In regards to pricing both systems when bought on the after market. Go for roughly the same price so I can't imagine there being a huge difference in the quality of the product. But I am looking forward to your comments leslie on them once you have them installed. Thank you for sharing data on those insane price increases. At least now with the wild track you get a whole lot more than you did in twenty twenty one
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews I missed out on the fox shocks by a month, as you say the bilstein actually seem really good , I will let you know how the icons work out
@@Johnnyscarcarereviews there has been another price increase since my last post the msrp for my bronco would be 89,500 cdn up a 1000 dollars from three days ago
I have a 23 Wildtrak 2dr. It's kind of funny, last year you said several times Ford should drop the Wildtrak and now you have one on order. How things have changed.
Scott, you bring up a good point, and I think it's important to be able to recognize when we are wrong but also recognize why we change our minds. Prior to the hoss 3.0 system existing as standard equipment on the wild track I. Feel? That the wild track was just another model and was not offering enough enough for the price. Well, now the price has increased dramatically, but at least there is a difference between the badlands and the reason for taking a while track over a badlands. I feel it would be awfully nice of Ford to add marine grade vinyl as a standard option for the wild track, considering its price increase over the badlands. So yes I do now believe the contrary to what I did a year ago. But ford is offering a lot more with the wild truck than they were a year ago. I still think a badlands with 2.7l is a solid deal. My ego is probably the reason I ordered a Wildtrak...plus I hust love the drive on that Wildtrak HOSS 3.0
Finisher - Congratulations on your Wildtrak order!! Think you both will get some great use, videos and joy!
Thanks so much! 😊

Good stuff! Thanks for sharing. I'm still thinking about if I should take a straight badlands 2.7l or add sasquatch or stick with Wildtrak

You talk about the broncos as if they are readily available. FWI the pickings are slim and you have to take what you can get ..
Why doesn’t the wildtrack have a sta bar disconnect?
I can't figure that out as well. Great point
