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.
Not sure about the 25 model year but for 21 - 24 model years the Outer Banks had some additional features like ambient lighting and rain sensing wipers which I assume are the wipers that turn on automatically if the wiper stalk was kept on the intermittent notch that was not available on the Badlands. There may have been a couple of other features on the Outer Banks that were not offered on the Badlands but cannot recall.
I just checked and this is what I found about the wipers. Strang how my new Full Size Bronco WildTrack with the High Package does not have rain sensing wipers.
Ummm…no it does not. I own a 2025 Badlands and rain sensing wipers are not included. We had rain here recently and the wipers did not adjust speed or activate/stop automatically when put in the intermittent mode. They kept a constant delay sweep based on the setting of the dial.
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.
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)
