My 2021 BL came with 235/65 tires. A bit wider and chunkier compared to the low profile tires on the OB. Upper trim levels or sports packages typically bolster the stance of the vehicle. For example, the difference between the Ford Explorer XLT and the very cool ST. It's all in the wheels and tires.
OB is like driving a BL in ECO mode. The wider stance and meatier tires of a BL matches the elevated performance of the 2.0. There's nothing like effortlessly passing slower cars climbing hills in northern Michigan.
I car camped for the first time on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan's UP.
I am 5'10" and simply packed the seat cushion off my porch glider for padding, a pillow and sleeping bag. A little tight on leg room but there are work-arounds, for sure.

Can someone explain the four buttons around the GOAT knob? Are they used independently or in conjunction with the GOAT modes? I've Googled, YouTubed, etc ...
For what it's worth, the dealer only had a BB on the lot when I went shopping for a Badlands. I also found the cloth seats very basic and underwhelming. I was disappointed.
Fast forward three months and I'm not sure if the Badlands cloth seats are designed differently but they sure are...
The engine and transmission on my '14 Escape died around 70,000 miles. One month after I paid it off. I was so livid I ended up leasing a Subaru Crosstrek.
Well, now I'm back with Ford and must admit I picked the Badlands trim to avoid the 1.5L engine. After reading some of the comments, it...
