CORRECTION: Black Diamond also comes with a standard rear locking diff and auxiliary accessory switches. This changes the cost-benefit analysis, and I'd actually lean towards Black Diamond over Big Bend given the price difference. Thanks to Adam W. for commenting and pointing this out!
Through the big footy package in one convince package in you have four Awd which I like in the rain. Ford has hands down the best 4wheel drive systems. Lmao black diamond and less the super goat features and super shocks. F off see you on top of the mountain. Yah that bronco is great. Or buy a zr2. Either way you can’t wheel buy the raptor pound your way to the top. Seriously old school locker guy. Your spoiled. True stoty
500 dollars to add rear locking diff to big bend. 700 dollars to add ford skid plates. Everything else is a wash. The additional 3000 dollars of difference (talking 4 doors) can help with perch collar lift, bigger tires.
Black diamond also has a rear locker, substantially better tires, and a steel powder coated bumper along with the better interior. So yes 2700 dollars more makes perfect sense.
You can not compare the Big Bend with a Black Diamond Bronco. I upgraded from a Big Bend. These are two very different Broncos in what they can do on and off road. The closest to a Black Diamond Bronco is the Badlands.
I think James should have done a little more homework before doing his video. As many of you all have pointed out he forgot some very important things that the Black Diamond offers. Other than that, a good review.
Thank you! That was the big selling point when I ordered mine. It wont fade like the plastic ones. I hate when people forget that point about the bumpers
Big Bend is more for someone looking for a lifestyle vehicle rather than a rugged off-roader. Black Diamond is a serious entry-level off-roader. I would compare Big Bend to Outer Banks.
Not sure if I missed it but did you also point out the Black Diamond trim gets the Accessory Switches vs. the sunglass holder above by the lights? I believe the Big Bend doesn't get that.
I would take the Big Bend but with better looking rims and beefier tires. 99% of people getting an offroad truck isn't going to offroad their truck. They're probably like me. I want something that looks cool but will just use it around town or go up to the mountains once in a while. The move would be to get the Big Bend and upgrade the rims and wheels immediately and sell the oem wheel package to offset the cost.

Black Diamond also has standard steel bumpers, discounted modular bumper, and skid plates.

You also get skid plates in the black diamond and you also get an electronic locker which as an option is at least 500-1000 dollars normally
Black diamond also has steel front/rear bumpers, rock rails, and heavy duty skid plates

The Black Diamond also comes standard with the Rear Locking Differential. I don't believe the Big Bend comes with any locking diffs. ??
Hi Adam, thanks, you're correct on the rear locking diff in the Black Diamond!
You can add a rear locker to the big bend
@@Jpulido91 yup, and you can put lipstick on a pig. LOLOLOL I get you though 👍
@@adamwebber9547 lmfao oh no you’re going to need more than lipstick loool
@@Jpulido91 that's what my wife tells me!!
I'm thinking the big bend with squatch might be the best of both...

The black diamond also comes with rock sliders and comes standard with a locking rear differential. Come on man, be accurate
Nice job!
Ooo. You failed to mention most everything extra the black diamond has. 🤭
You forgot rear lockers on the black diamond
Not sure if I missed it but did you also point out the Black Diamond trim gets the Accessory Switches vs. the sunglass holder above by the lights? I believe the Big Bend doesn't get that.
Correct again, thanks Adam! Switches are standard on Black Diamond, optional on Big Bend.

Too bad the 2021 models have valve defect engine failure issues.
No new information. Just regurgitating whatever others have already said.waste of time
I'm not even going to waste 30seconds BLACK DIAMOND WAY OVER BEND HANDS DOWN
