Interesting rumor - Badlands trim dropped

[MuddyBoots]

Well I guarantee they'd flip it for $42. Turned in my challenger. It was a $24k residual. Sold inside a week for $36k

Anyone here in the New England area wanna buy a Badlands for $38-42k? Only 2500 miles.

Work from home, man, basically just do grocery runs and bringing the new baby to check ups. Haven't even taken it off road yet

nothing wrong with that. My 'babies' are juniors in college...hang on to these times, once they take flight, you never get it back.

Heck.. hang onto it… in a few years you wanna take that little child camping ?…and the kid will be saying “yeah well my dad has a bronco!”

Seems like a bunch of nonsense. YouTube click bait from Roman. Not worthy of discussion. The only reason Ford would drop its most profitable and popular BS would be if they simply can't get components. For all practical purposes they aren't building any Badlands now. If my only engine option was a doggy 3 cylinder, I simply wouldn't be driving a BS. I doubt I'm the only one that feels that way.

Easy now, if it weren't for those "doggy 3 cylinder" models there wouldn't be the halo model for us power mad buyers. I drove a couple of those 3s when the wife was shopping Escapes last year, not too bad but they had a model on hand she wanted and it was the 4cyl.

There are plenty of buyers out there that don't need the extras on the Badlands. Is it a more capable off road vehicle.....of course it is. Does everyone really need that capability, probably not. I ordered the Bronco Sport for my wife, the only off roading see will do is driving across the lawn to get around my F150. The doggy 3 cylinder will do her just fine.

Spot on. It's not even a doggy 3. It has more than. Enough pep for 99% of it's consumers.

If the 1.5 suits your needs fine. But if they drop the Badlands the auto press will crucify Ford. There is absolutely no reason why Ford couldn't and shouldn't make the 2.0 an option in all models. Let the customer decide what they want.

ehh...I think the 1.5 combined with affordable/fuel-efficient Sports is ideal. I feel like the 2.0 was that upgrade option. It's an enticement to get the Badlands, it's in the name...it's marketing. Zero doubt in my mind the 1.5 provides a more than adequate engine for the urban offroader. The base model will do anything you ask it to do within reason.

If you own a 2021 Badlands Sport, keep it. Could be a future collector car.

Yeah cause '21s have temp digits in dial, folding rear head rest, engine covers, and panels below glove box.

Remember almost two years ago that same rumor appeared.
