Wish the FE had this.- copilot assist+ allows you to eat up miles without fatigue. It’s a must have for me.
Yes, this solidifying my choice that the Big Bend trim will suit my needs perfectly.i think a lot of people were waiting for something like this thank you! so many badlands reviews not a single big bend off road performance review (that i know of)
ive never driven a rav 4 or the like off road at all. I have experience wheeling in a Lexus GX470 and Touareg tdi. Both cars are beasts and there is simply no comparison between a GX and the bronco sport. For what it is I would guess that the bronco sport is the best off road due to it being tuned and designed for that despite the only 7.9 inches of ground clearance on the lower models. It has top notch approach, break over, and departure anglesHow would you say it handled vs. something like a RAV4
Does the underside have any protection (like actual skid plates and not just plastic?)ive never driven a rav 4 or the like off road at all.

“The RAV4's shape doesn't do its off-roading credentials any favors. Its long chin (unchanged from the standard RAV4) contributes to a 19.0-degree approach angle, while a low-hanging exhaust setup is part of the reason it shares its 21.0-degree departure angle with the rest of the RAV4 lineup. Toyota hasn't disclosed the RAV4 TRD Off-Road's breakover angle, but given its 8.6 inches of ground clearance, it's probably not great”
the bronco sport has a 21.7 approach angle and a 30.4 departure angle
as far as I can tell it does not. I really only would use this for easy-moderate off roadingDoes the underside have any protection (like actual skid plates and not just plastic?)
i know haha I was driving, don’t blame me!Wow!!! That filming!!! Is... Horrible...
to be totally honest if I were you and I was most concerned about off road performance I would get the badlands. Mainly for the underbody protection. Considering most people going off road will upgrade to all terrains the badlands is a good value.any socal trails in specific you’re confident the Big Bend could handle just fine? any trails you think it will have a hard time?
just trying to gauge if I should just opt for the Big Bend instead of the Badlands, main reason is to save money with a 5k difference between my order and one available at a local dealership.
awesome. coming from a 2010 subaru forester it seems like either option (BB or BL) will be good for me. I feel like a Big Bend with Wildpeaks and aftermarket underbody protection sounds like a better option for me. I always seem to be pulled back to opting for the Badlands.to be totally honest if I were you and I was most concerned about off road performance I would get the badlands.

in terms of trails anything that is ranked easy to moderate will be good for the vehicle. Think forest service roads, sand washes in anza borrego etc...it will do everything a Subaru can do no worries and likely better as there is no cvt
