Outer Banks vs Badlands

[delm]

I decided to order a 2023 Badlands. It should be delivered later this month!

You ordered one that will be delivered within the same month as the order? Or you are taking one of the dealer's existing orders that is showing up soon? Can't imagine the former....

No, I placed the order back in August and it shipped last week.

ah! that makes more sense!

I imagine that a 2.0 OB would be pretty close to the price of a Badlands + Premium, anyway.

I would imagine that being the reason why it doesn't exist. Would steal sales from the BL, or they would need restructure the prices and make the Base cheaper (definitely not happening) or make the BL more expensive.

OB engine is just fine and better gas mileage is always a plus said everybody everytime.

Actually, you'll periodically hear of OB owners that later traded their OB in for a Badlands. I've never heard of a Badlands owner that eventually decided to trade it in for an OB. That was the point.

And "just fine" for some is not enough for others.

"Adequate" doesn't excite me.

Same. In the least. But I appreciate that there are options for those where MPG, "just fine", and perhaps budget are the more important factors.

What color?

Reminder, again. I had the Big Bend, then the Badlands, then the Outer Banks. For me the OB is best because there are some features you cannot get on the Badlands no matter how much you try. (and when my Bronco arrived, I kept the Sport)

Congrats OP on your purchase and we look forward to pics.

If you add Premium to Badlands, the only missing feature I know of is something to do with the wipers?

Incorrect. For 2022 there were at least 5 things on a fully equipped OB that were not offered on the Badlands. See other threads as there is no need to hijack this thread with a topic already discussed multiple times over the last year plus.

I mean you threw it out there in this thread.

You could at least tell us what they are.

Other than the wheels, what are they?

And are they all still true in 2023?
