What's the difference between Bronco Badlands and Outer Banks?


The main difference is that the Badlands is built for serious off-roading, while the Outer Banks is more geared towards on-road comfort and a luxury feel with some off-road capability. The Badlands features a more rugged suspension, front and rear locking differentials, and a disconnecting front sway bar, along with a higher ground clearance and all-terrain tires. The Outer Banks offers more refined interior and exterior styling and is more suitable for daily driving. 
Badlands

  • Focus: Heavy off-roading. 
  • Suspension: Specialized off-road suspension, including a disconnecting front stabilizer bar for increased articulation. 
  • Drivetrain: Advanced 4x4 system with front and rear locking differentials. 
  • Wheels & Tires: More aggressive all-terrain tires (e.g., 33-inch) and rugged wheels. 
  • Exterior: Includes features like metal front bumper and tow hooks, and potentially marine-grade vinyl floors with drain plugs for easy cleaning. 
  • Interior: Less focus on luxury, with features like marine-grade seats and vinyl flooring. 

Outer Banks
  • Focus: A balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability. 
  • Suspension: Standard off-road suspension, but not as advanced as the Badlands. 
  • Drivetrain: Standard 4x4 system. 
  • Wheels & Tires: Generally has more street-oriented tires.

Which Bronco does the top come off?


Yes, they do, but there are some differences. The 2-door Broncos come with removable hard-top roofs while all 4-door Broncos come with a retractable soft-top. If you want a hard-top on a 4-door Bronco or a soft-top on a 2-door Bronco, you must go through the optional equipment route.



Does the Ford Bronco roof come off?


Unscrew the four screws on each side at the base of the rear roof panel. With the tailgate window still open, and a friend's help, lift the rear roof panel straight up. Once the locating pins are completely out, just lift the roof off.



Which Bronco comes with a sunroof?


Level up your ride with a Ford Bronco sunroof. The power moonroof available on the Big Bend™ , Heritage, Outer Banks™, and Badlands ™ trim levels and standard on the Heritage Limited allows you to open up your 2023 Ford Bronco Sport for sunshine and fresh air.
