Looks nice but can that 1.5L move all that weight and 30" tires? I'm sure that drop the MPG quite drastically.
I have 29.5 wildpeaks on mine, a couple less MPG on the highway. Acceleration I cannot notice a difference. The 1.5 isn't a complete dog thanks to the 8 speed trans. It's geared really well to make the most out of the engine's output. For whatever reason people believe the 1.5 is inadequate. I think it's the idea of it being a 3 cylinder that puts people off. Technology in ICE engines has come a long way. I drove both engines before purchasing and the 360+ on the Outerbanks won me over not the additional HP and buttons in the BL. Ill drive my Focus RS if I want acceleration. But to think people bought the older early 2000's Ford Explorers with the V6, 160hp, and a few hundred pounds more, talk about slow.

The tires diddnt make a big difference tbh. The windshield protector on the hood actually made the biggest MPG difference as it throw off the arrow dynamics. And then the roof rack being the second drastic weight added. But it does still get an average of 25MPG which isn’t too much lower than stock. I’m sure the exhaust and I do have a cold air intake coming in that may help some more b

I see that you have the "Adaptive Cruise 360+." Any issues with the RC nudge bar and lights with it?

Is your windshield protector bolted on? I like the look better than what I have, but I don’t want tape attachments.

PSA, That bull bar will not fit on the Badlands without serious modifications to its support making more of just a light bar than a bull bar. But in all reality, I’m not sure it makes too much of a difference depending on what your expectations are for the bar. It does look the best of them all in my opinion.

I installed the Rough Country nudge bar with the 4 round LED lights. The lights are powered and grounded at the battery. The problem is that they cause major radio static when turned on. Rough Country is no help at all. They claim, of course, that their lights do not cause a radio interference problem. Any recommendations to fix this problem would be most appreciated.

Idk for sure, definitely not as well as others in this forum know, but I think the fog lights on the ‘22 don’t come standard. They only came with the package that had all the bells and whistles? I could be wrong. Mine just has plastic where the lights would be

Do some research on EMI filters.

If you add the "Convenience Package" to the Big Bend you get the fog lights (along with rear parking sensors, wireless phone charging pad, heated front seats, securicode keyless entry pad and 8-way power driver's seat
