From BS Outer Banks to BS Badlands

[Paradocks]

Just to be sure, see this pic which is for the ‘21-‘24 Wiper stalk … do you have anything on your ‘25 Wiper stalk resembling the “A” (for automatic) in a windshield icon on the stalk? (And an enable somewhere on a Sync 4 screen maybe)
That would likely be the best way to tell but in the USA the ‘21-‘24 Badlands also did not come with rain sensing wipers (only for Canada and maybe other countries)

Nope, no ‘A’ on the wiper stalk in the intermittent setting. Apparently U.S. Badlands don’t get the rain sensing wipers.

I would defiantly question that with the dealer. It might be because yours was a early production but the current website as of tonight says it does. If you move the switch past the first position it will do intermittent.

This is not from the U.S. site. A dead giveaway is the spelling of colour when describing the door handles.

I've been very impressed with my Badlands in snow, mud, and sand. I have the Falken AT3W 235/65R17s. IMHO, the only thing the big Bronco has over the BS is clearance, a body on frame, and probably more skid plates.

After plowing snow with my catalytic converter, I did put a skid plate over it. The snow was rutted from the traffic ahead of me, and I could picture some ice knocking the exhaust system off. I also drive a lot of rockey roads where the skid plates make a huge differene.

I was out at the range last month, and drove through a patch of really soft sand. I though nothing of it, and didn't shift out of normal. An F-150 followed me and got stuck. He had to put it in 4WD to get out.

The Badlands with the Tech Package is as good as it gets. So you are good with that. Not sure what he is saying about the outer banks having more stuff. I recently traded my BS Heritage Limited which was a short run of Badlands with the Heritage look and it was great vehicle. I had ordered a 2025 Badlands with the Sasquatch package and all the boxes checked but when the prices dropped on the full size I went with that. After driving the Full Size which is a top of the line WildTrack with all the options I missed the BS and told the dealer when the one I ordered comes in I will take that as well. The memory seat is a big one and on the highway the BS is way better as far as noise and comfort. The New 2025 should be in this week and my wife is looking forward to it. Don't get me wrong the full size is nice but if I had to chose one after driving the full size for a couple of months I would hands down go with the BS Badlands if I had to chose between them.

The size is what we are after. I don't drive in snow, mud, and sand either.

You will be just fine in snow! Had my Big Bend driving around in about a foot of snow and really didn’t have any issues at all. You might want better tires but your drive train with the Badlands will be just fine.

Yep, I was very impressed with the snow time performance. Even just in normal mode. Worry free.

These little trucks really are a blast to drive in any condition!

They are but I'm gonna be, that guy, on calling them "trucks".

Trucks have frames and beds.

And even then, they might only be pseudo trucks, as in the old El Camino and Ranchero. They were cars, with beds.

Indeed!!! Will go through as much snow as my F150 Supercrew 4x4 5.0
