Badlands Sasquatch or Wildtrak

[Bronco Johnny]

Does anyone know why the Wildtrak if faster than the Badlands Sasquatch (when both vehicles have the 2.7L 10 speed automatic?

Also is the swaybar disconnect worth getting the Badlands instead of the Wildtrak?

Where did you hear the Wildtrak is faster? I've never heard that. Same drivetrain, same vehicle, same gear ratios and tire size.

If you're looking at 2024 and earlier, yes it's a good idea to opt for the Badlands. It's the only way to get the swaybar disconnect. The things the Wildtrak has that are better, can be added or improved upon with aftermarket upgrades. As far as I know, there is no viable aftermarket alternative to the electronic swaybar on the Badlands. If you're looking at 2025 it's a moot point since the Wildtrak is gone, and you can add the HOSS 3.0 suspension to the Badlands.
