Outer Banks vs. Badlands

[Heart2]

It is indeed a black BL with the gray roof. I just got it last week so I haven't had a chance to take it out anywhere for glamour shots yet, but here's a side profile shot from when I picked it up at the dealer. I like that the gray on the roof matches the gray in the rims. I ended up blacking out the bronco lettering on the front and rear because I couldn't stand the white. I love how it looks.

Thanks for posting that pic. That is the first gray over black that I have seen. I am still deciding on a body color, but I am thinking about a gray roof to match the wheels (if I choose the BL). I also like the FE black wheels with the black roof...might be able to buy a used set that were someone's take-offs. Thanks again!

When I ordered my OB, it helped to think of BL as a big bend with a 2.0L.

At the risk of 'justifying' my Badlands, the MSRP is only $500 different between OB and BL.

I get where you're coming from- I hadn't purchased a new vehicle in almost 20 years, so shopping was a lot of sticker shock. It's all tied up in the modern advances that are built in now.

Add you options......Add your options Then compare pricing at both with all of the packages. OB comes standard with features you have to add the packages on for the Badlands........

....... $500? Not

With the prices of Gas nowadays

I just got my badlands and love it. It is a little rocket ship and has no lack of power. I may regret the gas millage but it was the only red within 200 miles of me.

I'm not sure what you're on about. Both come with standard features not on the other trim. The MSRP is just $500 apart. Fact.

If you fully load them both up, there's just $1,500 difference. It feels less difference on a $40,000 vehicle than it is on a $20,000 vehicle, but my point is that you can't get a cheaper version with all the mandated tech stripped out.

Exactly. Add the 3 packages to equip similar and it is $1500. When you state $500 your also comparing cloth versus leather, no rear parking assist, heated steering wheels.... unless you just want HP and a couple more transmission modes its not a comparison. Maybe that helps you understand what Im on about.........

At the MSRP Base for each the outer banks has more features.......... Id rather be teched up and drive farther on a tank than go 2 seconds faster.
I respect your viewpoint. Each to his/her own. Have a good one.

It doesn't have more features. It has different features. I really don't know why the debate. They're $500 different.

You told me to load them up, so I did. $1,500 and it's the OB missing bunches of features. Now you say those features don't matter, so why load them up?

I also preferred the leather interior, but I'll tell you, the Badlands 'cloth' isn't what you're thinking of when you say 'cloth' auto seats. They're really nicely covered. If that was the fabric used in most autos, I'd quit shopping leather interiors and save a few $$.

OK LOL...Just stop... Heated seats? Base BL does not have, Power passenger? BL does not have Ambient Lighting? Base BL does not have.....Want more? Leather is more expensive period.... Cloth is less expensive. I'm sorry your getting so upset about your BL not having the upgraded features. I asked before and tried to make peace in my last post. Its just a fricking car ma'am. Go head and rant more if that pleases you. Sad thing is anyone can go on the site and see the differences. I'm sorry that is hard.

 

[Glamdring70]

You're the one talking down the rides and tearing me down, "ma'am".

 

[69cuda340s]

OB no options and BL no options yes they are close in price. You can add most of the OB options to the Badlands but not the other way around. The two models are really aimed at different buyers. And depending on buyer one is the better fit for them.

 

[magicbus]

Quit and diming the options and just get what you want. You only go round once.

My base BL has heated seats. At the end of the day, the bigger motor was the single best and most noticeable upgrade for the vehicle. Almost everything else was aesthetic whereas having more power is functional across almost every use case. $500 extra for the better motor was a no brainer.

That would depend on what your planed use for it is .

 

[LengthyDicta]

My planned use for it is driving.
