Ya, I'm glad I got the 2025 that has the rain sensor, wireless phone charger, garage door opener and those adjustable flood lights, also my Topo graphic package that I had put on mine when I ordered it, was $395, they raised the price to $500! Sounds like they will be getting less for more!
so true

I can live with not being standard but a lot of these deletions are not even an option.
Whats odd is the rain sensing wipers are available on the Outer Banks but not on the Badlands. My salesmen had to be educated by me on that fact....
Here are ALL the changes to the 2026.
I knew that when we bought our badlands but wasn't happy about it. I think Ford looks at the Outer Banks as the more luxury trim and the Badlands as the more off road trim and figured those with the Badlands trim wouldn't need it or wouldn't care. Honestly I bought the Badlands because of the 2.0L engine and needed to over look the fact that the rain sensing wipers were not available. If the 2.0L engine was available on the Outer banks I would have went with that trim. But I get it, Ford is limiting the larger engine to keep the CAFE gas mileage up.
“The adjustable liftgate flood light feature isn't gone completely, but is now optional on the Big Bend trim as part of the Convenience Package; it remains standard on Heritage, Outer Banks, and Badlands models.”
