What dealer are you dealing with? I'm in Wildomar and LE Ford wanted to offer 20102 for my 22 Badlands. I have had no issues other than the battery and was just toying with trading for a Fullsize cuz I just acquired another full size dog in a 72 pound lab. The kennels fit with the seats down but...
I'd still be a two truck family if it weren't for fuel prices but I do love my Badlands for what it is. Gets me out on sketchy hiking trail heads, takes me on lots of adventures and the Silverado continues to be the tow vehicle when I need one.
This one was Gabby. She was my personal horse that passed away in 2023. Now I ride friend's horses rather than have my own. I have friends with more horses than butts to ride them.
Part time adventurer here with a 22 badlands currently sitting at 53297 miles. I have had 0 issues with it. I drove all the trims and the 1.5 versions were not going to work for my lifestyle and how I use a vehicle. The Badlands is more than an engine upgrade. Drive them both then decide.
There are some of those for sure. I do post on the pages about my adventures. There are a few of us who post our fun stuff and "hey did you know your vehicle does this" (like it has a bottle opener and the high setting on the seat warmer will fry your a$$). LMAO Then there are the "I"m on my way...
I'm on multiple bronco pages, both full size and sport, the smaller engine trims seem to have the most issues. Or maybe the least experienced owners who like to complain. Toss up where that lands honestly.
That's a bummer. I'm also in S CA. Did you buy all three from the same dealer? I have 53257 miles on my 22 badlands with 0 issues. I guess I got a unicorn. That's why even though the full size looks awesome, I don't want to risk issues. It's a Ford after all.
Lifetime GM owner no problems, first...
I enjoyed it but the trail was basic for anyone who has OHV trail drove anywhere. Thing is, I was the only one out of ten who had ever been in the dirt! I also was the only one who owned a Badlands so buttons were different for everyone else. I rode tripped it from S CA and if it had not been...
I love my Badlands. I won't say it's the best I've ever owned because I still like the Chevy Avalanche I had because what it accomplished for me in my lifestyle at the time. (waterskier, horseowner tow vehicle). I think being that it was a 2.0 the resale value held because there were not an...
Yeah I"d be concerned if I paid full pop for an OBX or BB right now. Like already mentioned Badlands are a rarer vehicle, not so many in a sea of the others. I'm in S CA as well and I had to wait for one to come in when I bought April of 22. So glad too they didn't get me on the dealer mark up...
While I like the look of a two door hard top, unless I could have a 3rd vehicle weekend driver, no. I bought the sport for what it is, small SUV. Replaced a GMC Terrain I hated that we only had 18 mos. Thing couldn't get out of it's own way hence the reason I went Badlands when I bought. I have...
I test drove the 1.5 versions and didn't buy one because it felt off to me. I didn't like the noise or the acceleration either. People really need to test drive all models before buying. There is a significant difference. I get people want mpg and cheap all in the same sentence but you can't get...
I don't feel it's any worse than any other vehicle but in my area, the roads are worse than they have ever been. Last year we had rain that popped huge chunks of asphalt out and they are just now fixing them. I hang back from traffic and watch the road to be sure I don't land in a pot hole...
Also want to extend my prayers for a complete recovery for your Mom!
I will agree on the 2.0. Best bit of research I ever did was investigating both engines. I've been very satisfied. My 2100 mile road trip to Utah averaging 72 mph with cruise yielded me 29.1 mpg. Last week with hubby driving...
