Why is the Sasquatch $2500 for Badlands?

[SwankyTiger]

the badlands is the Sasquatch minus wheels and tires and fender flares. Have you ever priced OEM wheels? they are crazy expensive. The OEM BBS's for my 17 Miata were $800 a piece if purchased from the dealer.

Those 35's are(going by Wrangler Duratrac in 35x12.5r17) are $330 per tire, So that is just $1650 in tires for 5 of them.

Add 35inch tires and simulated bead locks aftermarket and you’re spending $3k. It would have been nice for it to have been $1800 or $2k but the price is not outrageous.

Yes if your buying aftermarket. But this is coming from the Factory. Your giving up the 33s for the 35s so it should be the cost difference between the 2 not the cost of buying an entire new set of tires.

I think its Ford's pricing on the Beadlock wheels that is causing it to be so much. I know the Raptor optional Beadlocks add 1895 and I think the saw someone say the ones for the Ranger are 1800 but don't know for sure on those as they aren't on the build and price yet.

Yeah I guess. Makes sense.

So for $2500 you get your 33’s tires and wheels taken away.
Get 35’s with bead lock capable wheels.
Then bump stops to limit the travel 1cm.

that is the biggest rip off I’ve ever heard of

edit: the price difference between those tires and wheels can’t be that much.

So, may have missed this from another thread... Forgive me. What is the reason you can not go Sasquatch on the manual? I would like to go badlands with Sasquatch manual.

Then don’t buy it. Buy aftermarket instead. That will show Ford.

$2500 seems reasonable for 5 Sasquatch only rims, 5 tires, and 4.70 gears. I'll be getting it on my Badlands.

Ford is not making it available. You can not get both manual and sasquatch.

I agree that it’s not worth the 2500 for me. I honestly like the stock BL rims. And don’t need mud terrain tires. I’ll just use that money to buy the exact set of 35 inch hybrid tires I want and probably be out of pocket maybe a grand after I sell or trade my 33 take off tires. I was worried it would be a tough decision and it’s not.

I thought 4.7 gears was standard on Badlands?

For automatic trans its 4.46 iirc, 4.70 w/ Sasq

Why would anyone get an auto?

Only reason I can think of is for the 2.7
