Future Badlands Owner

That's exactly why we wanted a small SUV.

Same reason here. I've had F150, ram 1500...didn't need the large footprint for day to day crap. Agree with both of you and one of the reasons I didn't want a Bronco.

I wanted a full Bronco, but with the hardtop wait up to 18 mos, I gave up. Initially my dealer said he would go MSRP on the full size Bronco, but they now wanted $5k over MSRP. Got the BS for MSRP, but sold my 2020 Ford Escape and made a good profit on it.

My badlands is similarly equipped! I love the seats, they are comphy to me. I'm 6'3" and 250 pounds. I agree, the seat bottoms on all BS's are a little short. But if you raise the height of the seat so your feet touch the ground, it works for me. Basically you should sit more upright in the BS, not legs strait out. MANY people who have sat shotgun in my BS say the seats are very squishy. I'm wondering if its something Ford changed from 2021 models to the 22's. Meaning the 2021's with the premium package, had too hard of seats??

As for the B&O..... It is NO COMPARISON to the 2021 Acura I had with 17 speakers. That system was amazing. Felt as though you were in a concert....The B&O is adequate when adjusted properly with a good audio source IMO. BUT with the B&O you get FORD's ENE and ANC. Engine noise enhancement, basically enhances engine noise in sport mode, which I like. That system Ford uses also uses Acitive Noise cancelation. My badlands is extremely quiet.....

Congrats, you'll love it.....when you actually get it......

Same! Still hoping to land in a Bronco down the line, I will definitely wait until I can buy one at a dealership for less than MSRP though so it may be awhile.

I love the leather seats, very comfortable. The B&O stereo is fine. You pretty much ordered my car. I am also on Mustang6g.com

Absolutely love the Badlands in that red.

Yeah, I just remember entire threads about folks griping about the B&O while they were listening to Sirius or something - like yeah, poor quality music is gonna sound poor quality no matter what.

Lol, I still remember being so hyped for satellite radio until I finally heard it. I don't know how people can handle it. The sound is so tinny and compressed. HD radio seems to be the same way. I just use my phone or listen to the regular radio.

It’s so bad I consider it to be worthless.

When I get my Badlands I’ll play a little satellite radio just to remind myself how awful it is.

Unfortunately, almost all FM stations sound bad as well.

Very few people care about quality.

Wow - I haven't listened to a radio (Satellite, FM, or AM) in years. Apple Music and Podcasts. No need for anything else. I know a DJ. He's had trouble staying employed. Tough to be in a dying industry.

Seriously, have you ever thought about getting your ears checked? Maybe they are broken. ?

I think of myself a bit of an audiofile and I find the sound driven by the BO system to be pretty good.

How dare you, sir!

But seriously, I’m really looking forward to hearing what the B&O system sounds like considering the opinions on this forum.

One of my main hobbies is Hi-Fi. I have a nice system at home. However, I have very different expectations of what a car audio system might or should sound like. I just want it to be pretty good and enjoyable.

Just had a 90-day subscription to Sirius with new vehicle purchase. Turned to it once to see if it was there.

I am now getting the $5 monthly for 2 years letter. Would agree to it if they pay me $5 a month.

Had it years ago and they kept charging my card monthly even with repeated demands to stop. I was one of the thousands to file complaints.

I got the money back.

Their playlists for what I would listen to are incredibly small. Heard Jump by Van Halen every time I tuned to 80s on 8.

Have 7,000 songs on a USB flash drive instead.

i tried to keep track this past weekend how much i had the radio on in my car(s) while driving.
most of the time i forgot to even turn it on. i never grew up listening to that much radio (music) so its not like i miss it. i think total i might have had it on for 10 min. drive to and from work....
most of the time the kids are with us and we just have conversation with them (4 & 6yr olds) they like to talk and tell stories....so.
if i go on long trips alone i will turn on just to keep me "tuned" in.
we took a 3hr family trip in Aug to Great Wolf and the kids had their dvd movies in the whole time so we listened to that...or whatever else was playing on their tablets they have....

also, off track here but other than the Ford Accessories site, is there a main site where everyone goes for their "goodies" to put on the vehicles? just like to see whats out there...i have a couple sites already but wanted to see if anything different.
