I have the 2003 HOSS 3.0, love it, but I took a non SAS Badlands through the Moab Off Rodeo, and it was suepr capable. Basically went everywhere the others went. The biggest difference really was the lack of a camera for tight areas. A super capable machine in most forms.

You shouldnt pay more than $100. All Ford products are complete garbage!

$50K for my Badlands

Jeep needs to do something about the Bronco. I can get a base Bronco with the Sasquatch package and get 35s and front and rear lockers for 40k. If I want the same thing on a Wrangler, I need the Rubicon Xtreme Recon which will run me at least 55k

Check out the Minden off-road park - its really tough.

The wildtrak has different shocks with reservoirs. This gives it more high-speed capability. The newest wildtraks with hoss 3 get fox dampers and a strengthened steering rack. The badlands even with the sasquatch doesn't get the same tuned dampers because it's focus is slower crawling. Not all sasquatch broncos have the same suspension.

@@WbrookS-jm2bj I understand the HOSS 3.0 upgrade... makes sense. I was unaware there were different suspension options on the Badlands. I have one on the train right now and didn't know that when I ordered it... hmmm

@@adamwebber9547 I think the badlands still has bilsteins with reservoir but that there was some difference in tuning and spring rate between the two. I took my dad to pick up his wildtrak yesterday. He got the hoss 3 package but because he wanted the uprated steering rack. I drove it about an hour and really liked it. Felt way more nimble then my power wagon lol. Hope you get your bronco soon. Enjoy it. Edit- I shouldn't have said better in the first response. Maybe different.

Originally, the primary difference between the BL and the WT is that the BL had the swaybar disconnect and rock crawling mode, whereas the WT had Baja and Sport modes. The WT also came standard with the 2.7L engine and Sasquatch. However, Ford added the HOSS 3.0 option to the WT (only), which is now standard -- if you can even order a WT. I have it on mine, and it upgraded the suspension and shocks significantly, while also adding a rear swaybar. This made a huge difference in ride quality, on and off road. AFAIK, the only suspension options for the BL were Sas vs non-Sas, because you could order a non-Sas BL.

@@supermike0822 i have a non sas Badlands. I have Baja mode.

Glad you enjoyed it

with leaky roof and guaranteed rusty floor pan in a few years. Other than that its a fantastic car.

Mine came in at $50K. 2dr Badlands, front & rear lockers, stabilizer bar disconnect, Marine Grade Vinyl interior, 4 auto, trail (cruise) control, keyless entry, auto start, heated front seats.

Got this exact one in Sarasota fl a few weeks ago worth every penny nothing comes close imo

Most people are going to be just fine with the 2.0 but the hoss 3.0 is of course better

@@thebayharborbutcher9115 most people that buy a badlands with the Sasquatch package would immediately opt for the 3.0 in my opinion. They should have offered it as an option on the Badlands they made a major mistake by not doing that. Not that they will be losing money because they're making hand over fist money, but rather they are upsetting loyal customers, complicated by dealership b*******. Ford is also becoming very elitist making specialty vehicles nearly impossible to get unless you're a blue check or you have never ending deep pockets. I went to my dealership said I had $30,000 to put down cash, that wasn't enough to get me on the list.

The owner in that video didn't know how to get it into 4Low, not a damn thing wrong with the truck.

@@2004LIGHTNING 🤣🤣🤣

Yup, that's where I'm at with these prices... should be a v8 😁

You are aware that the v8 is a gas guzzler and weighs a ton so unless you have drove one of these in a 2.7 you would be surprised how good they are

@@thebayharborbutcher9115 2.7 does not provide the growl of 5.0.

What are your sources for this information? Got Receipts?

Bronco holds up decently in stock form. Many of the people who have had problems are running larger than stock tires and aftermarket suspension lifts. I agree, that if stock does not cut it for you, the Wrangler is a better platform to modify.

Wrangler is better in the rocks and the Bronco is better in the dunes/high speed.

Over-done. Tie rod damage is very very rare and there is a kit from Ford for beefier ones for those who want it. Bigger issue with this and Wrangler is leaky roof and future rust issues.

Buy a garbage jeep rubicon that doesn't leave the service centre and catches fire or breaks the axle , differential and shaft everytime on road not even trails , man you garbage jeep owners are something really hard. That's the wheeling if you talking about I agree buy a garbage jeep

Better at what? Because every jeep I have been in feels like a sardine box but do you

@@thebayharborbutcher9115 at just about everything

Besides rock crawling jeeps are terrible 😂 but good try

I see a lot of the Nancy’s like jeeps I wouldn’t waste my money on fiat

What do you mean by that?
