Sounds like you cummins swapped it. I even tried on highway trips and coulnt break 20 over 100 miles. Eco mode does help significantly though

My father's 2 door Badlands on 35" tires and a 1" leveling kit averages around 20 on the highway. I got just over 25 MPG driving it from Leadville, CO to Española, NM 55-70 MPH the whole way loaded down with camping gear. Didn't you say you don't even use 7th gear? :laughing:

I would accasionally click into it going down hill but other then that it wouldnt pull at all in 7th.... maybe it doesnt need to but its generally not flat where im driving. I also rarely drive over 65

New Mexico and Colorado aren't exactly flat either. I am not surprised by the numbers you are claiming especially with the big mud tires, but I don't think they are representative of what a stockish Bronco will do.

I do agree that 7th gear is too tall; you can't really use it at less than 60-65 MPH anywhere except flat ground. I would put 5.38s in one even with just 35s. Maybe my opinion would change on an interstate with the cruise set between 75-80 MPH, but I haven't driven my father's Bronco on the interstate. I don't like having to shift on the highway at all, everything I own will pull 50+ MPH in top gear no problem.
 
Saw another in traffic, and still can't get over how cartoonishly wide the Raptor is evertime. Coolass rig though.
 
Probably because I just think it's some kid with brospacers in my rearview, then 'oh, that's from the factory' as they go by.

Anyone have input on what to pick? Looking at these 3.

Trading in 2 vehicles, outer banks is in only for the nicer interior/price compared to the badlands.

I drove and like this one and really liked it

So the first 2 are 6cyl and the third is a 4cyl. The badlands is the only model with lockers front/rear, sway bar disconect, and 4.70 gears with the larger differentials. You can get all of that except sway bar disconects by adding the "sasquatch package" to any model out there.

Just built one out on Ford. Same thing, just Cactus Gray. Only Bronco you can get that comes with cloth seats. But honestly, for what comes on the Heritage stock, it's the way to go... Plus you can get it in a stick shift. One of my personal requirements to replace my 286K and climbing current DD.

As far as I know, none of the models you posted have lockers front and rear with the larger differentials. You said that was important?

Correction, the wildtrack is the only one.
Wildtrack also has a larger steering rack and fox 3.0 coilovers that the other models dont.

I’m not sure that the order banks are going to open up again for the heritage anytime soon.

The first two both have lockers and 4.7, its on the sticker. Not sure why the site is off. The wildtrack has a line item that just reads front stabilizer bar. The badlands is sas package and I guess the wildtrack is it's own package or build someone backed out of? Only differences between the two other than the shocks are 360 cam, bigger display, sound system, power seats (both heated I found odd) and interior comforts. Trying to find out what makes them 10k apart. I have to research this 175k mile ford extra care deal, that's realistically the only way I'd justify it

That's fine. Not in the market at the moment anyway. Maybe Ford will pull their heads out of their asses and offer cloth seats in more trims next year. I do not want vinyl.
 
The spray off vinyl is dope and better than my cloth seats imo.
I wish it was an option on mine when I bought it.
