True, just as you can add all the fancy stuff to the Badlands. But out of the box they break out into those three categories.
Escape2Bronco, The only thing that Outbanks offers for me is a leather trimmed interior. I’m assuming you had an Escape before your Bronco Sport. I’m also changing from an Escape to a Bronco. How was your transition?
I had an older Escape (2006). They a very similar size. The ride of Sport is much nicer than my Escape. It feels much more solid. I have the basic Badlands. It has cloth seats which I prefer and rubber floors. I bought it while waiting on the building and delivery of my 2 door full size. My plan was to keep the Escape and sell the Sport once my 2 door finally showed up. After driving the Sport for nearly a year and half before my full size arrived, I liked it so much I decided to keep it and sell the Escape.
I think it should be noted, though, that the Outer Banks have 18" wheels, and the OEM Michelin tires don't seem to be very good on the snow (my son has a 2023). The Big Bend has 17" wheels, which give you more options for tires having more sidewall and aggressive tread should you need it. That said, the OEM Continental tires on my 2024 Big Bend were awful, with very little tread depth and thin sidewalls. But: you can easily swap them out, and you can generally option out the Big Bend the way you want it. Note: the factory default Bronco Sport Big Bend underbody protection is very poor (and the aftermarket options are currently limited). The $2750.00 (!) Black Diamond option is out there now for the 2025 Big Bend, which includes the skid plate, fuel tank & canister shields The Black Diamond package also includes the much-needed recovery hooks, as well as a tow package.
Check the packages you want well. Some say included in certain trims, but you actually need to select them in the order menu to get them.
