Picked up my new Everglades on Saturday. I love it, part of me misses my Badlands. To new Adventures and hopefully no car accidents.

Are the wheel offsets different between the Regular Sasquatch and the Everglades? Anyone know? The tires on the Everglades look more tucked. I dig it!

They are the same fitment and offset as the Sasquatch rims

Im thinking of getting a used Everglades. A couple of questions for people that own already. Is 2.3 L engine underpowered for a really heavy car? What difference noticed mud terrain tires on highway and off-road vs regular sas tires? Other thoughts about this vs. Badlands for roughly same price. Thanks

Im happy with the 2.3l doesn't feel underpowered to me. The tires are the same as sas broncos just different wheels. I think either is an excellent choice.

Doesn't feel underpowered to me, though I am admittedly not a speed demon. For highway cruising, passing, etc. it seems pretty damn zippy, actually. As mentioned, they're the same tire as the sasquatch. I've seen people complain about the road noise, but my particular truck is reasonably quiet. I totally love my Everglades, with a couple minor nitpicks that are not unique to the Everglades.

Do it! the 2.3l is plenty of motor for the Bronco. They are pretty rare (not that that means anything) but you don't have to worry about seeing another one at a Bronco Gathering. The only thing you are losing out on is the sway bar disco but that is something you can add a manual disco. What are the Everglades specs you are looking at? We live down a dirt road and my wife says this is a better riding vehicle than our LTZ Suburban.
Don't be afraid of a small motor. We just bought a 1500 Silverado with a 4 cylinder it can out tow and out run My Brothers Silverado with the 5.3L V8.

Wishing you clarity and confidence in your decision! I think you'll be more than happy with either, and Everglades is definitely more unique with a couple aspects you might like (obviously the 3" more of water fording, and the 2.3's alternator sits higher as well).
