Big Bend v Outer Banks

[PaulOinMA]

Has the engine difference been mentioned? I would like the Outer Banks with the 2.0. Hopefully, that will be a choice when the extended warranty has expired with my current vehicle in late 2022.

Get the badlands. I disagree. The 2.0 should not be on every trim level. Life is full of choices.

I assume this is rain sensing

That is for how fast you want your wipers to cycle. Rain sensing would be positioned on the first notch up ,this would activate rain sensing.

Unfortunately, the Badlands does not have rain sensing wipers. Trust me...I know. My Fusion had them and I'm having a helluva time now trying to remember to manually turn my wipers on and off when necessary.

I first though I was gonna go badlands for the engine but I was curious about the 3cyl. I took one for a ride around my neighborhood, very hilly, and highway entrances... Handled fine and did what I need it to do for a daily driver. At that point I was locked in on a BB but after realizing the difference, I went for some of the extras in the OB. Got 3k on it and don't even think about the bigger engine.

Agreed with the 1.5. all the test drives I took it seemed more than capable. Dealers convinced me the 2.0 was a significant difference. So far it's been great but I don't see the big benefit.

pretty sure the badlands has rain-sensing wipers as well. I have an internal dial on the wiper arm. I assume that's what you are referencing?

That's to set the delay on intermittent. Badlands doesn't have rain-sensing even with Badlands package it's one of few things only on OB. For me, was a plus. I find they're usually set too sensitive and wipe (i.e. smear) too much.

Our BB has insulation under the hood. I added Katzkin leather in the deal. A much superior leather than factory. And I didn’t care for the 18” wheels on the OB. All subjective.

Sorry I didn't get the adaptive cruise. I thought it was included with my OB trim, but sadly, an upgrade I didn't get. I think maybe you have to get the whole Bose upgrade to get the adaptive cruise - not sure.

I think adaptive cruise comes with the 360+ option in any package.

Made this yesterday. Think it looks pretty cool.
