So I have been considering upgrading from my 2 door Black Diamond to a 4 door again. Yeah I know the 2door is better looking but the 4 door is really more practical. Every time I drive my wifes 4 door I notice the ride is little better with the longer wheel base, the fuel tank is larger so a little more range, the soft top is more functional to make it open air then the hard top, and of course the rear storage area is much more usable. yeah I can always drive hers but I want my own.
I had a 4 door Badlands briefly in 2022 that I traded for the two door Black Diamond I have now, Yeah I know dumb! But it wasnt a SAS package and I didnt think i needed two 4 doors. After nearly two years of owning it I kind of wish I had the 4 door again.
I really like the options that come on the Badlands with the SAS package, but I have heard the Wildtrack has a better suspension package. Both would be an upgrade from the Black Diamond and I want the factory SAS package as I would like to upgrade wheels and tires in the future. When I build them out on the Ford site typically the Badlands ends up being a little more than the Wild track. The Wild track doesnt have the front sway bar disconnect and no rock rails or full metal skid plates standard but I know you can add them. I would get the 2.7 no matter what model (my 2 door has it and it way nicer than the 2.3) Auto trans is what I want so again available on either model. Soft top I prefer but I may get both tops. I like some of the plush/tech options of the Wildtrack but that is also scary as its just more crap to break! I really would like to take a trip out west in the next few years and do some mild trails along the way. So thats another reason I am considering the upgrade.
What model would you choose and why?
