Booo! Hisss!

I thought the advanced 4wd was auto only? " a manual transmission and available advanced 4x4 system gives " Or is this one just a typo?

 

[Drex]

A definite improvement, however still locked into the BL if you want a manual and high or lux package. (unless they opened up the OB from auto only, that would have some interesting mixes.)

I wonder if this wont end up costing them $$ rather than making more... figure some BL folks might drop down to the base or BD now if they can live without the sway bar. Hopefully this doesnt raise the $ of Sas over 5k

It just made my Badlands built that much more expensive.

Be happy? But this is forum is the most Unappreciative group to ever exist.

now they will complain that a manual with the 2.7 is still not offered and why do we have to wait until late 2021 for the manual with the Sasquatch package?

and let’s not forget about the B&P. Levine said by september?

lol. There will be a lot more crying and bitching to come.

Count our lucky stars and be happy we’re getting it!

Did anyone else notice this in the official video:

What does this tweet have to do with Sasquatch? Does this mean the manual option will now be available across the entire model lineup (Outer Banks, Wildtrak)????

Yeah I wonder how that factored in at all.

 

[Compta38]

People have been crying since July this wasnt an option and now theyre crying because it wasnt an option sooner even though we are 3+ months out from orders, some folks just arent ever happy.

 

[UTultimate]

Now if we can get the 2.7.

 

[Garemlin]

This is great news and proves they are listening.

Now let's get on that marine vinyl/washout interior available on all models. No extra testing required on this one.

Wouldn’t call it bitching with a looming deadline for reservation transfers coming. If they pushed it out a month, I’d be relatively happy. Still have a lot of dealers to reach out to here in North East to see if they’ll match Granger

...I'm hoping the joy of wanting a Bronco (9 months from now) doesn't wane..and maybe just keep my Edge...

 

[Hkak45]

Looks like the petition worked. Now we need to petition for a 2.7 with manual and see if the Ford Genie Grant our wish?

Press release here:https://media.ford.com/content/ford...thusiasts-bronco-brand-expands-sasquatch.html

DEARBORN, Mich., Sept. 21, 2020 – Listening to reservation-holder feedback, Ford is expanding the availability of its high-performance off-road Sasquatch™ package to all-new Bronco two- and four-door models with a class-first 7-speed manual transmission.

“The Bronco community spoke and we heard them,” said Mark Grueber, Ford Bronco consumer marketing manager. “Our team moved quickly to add Sasquatch with a manual transmission – another example of our focus on giving customers the best possible off-road vehicles and accessories that we can.”

The increased availability of the Sasquatch package also makes the Ford Bronco the only 4x4 with a 7-speed manual and 35-inch off-road tires in its class.

Sasquatch plus manual unlocks even more off-road capability
While other brands save their best hardware for premium series models, Bronco is making off-road capability a priority across every two- and four-door trim level with the available Sasquatch package.

Checking the Sasquatch box adds class-first 35-inch Goodyear® mud-terrain tires mounted to 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, Dana™ front and rear electronic locking axles with 4.7:1 final drive ratio, and high-clearance suspension with a nearly two-inch wider track, position-sensitive Bilstein shocks and wider fender flares.

Sasquatch package will be available across the lineup, including Base, Big Bend™, Black Diamond™ Outer Banks™, and Badlands™. It is standard on Bronco Wildtrak™ and First Edition models, while the Badlands™ series with available Sasquatch package and standard semi-active hydraulic front stabilizer bar disconnect results in the ultimate Bronco rock crawler.

“Capability is always a priority, and pairing Sasquatch with a manual transmission and available advanced 4x4 system gives it a maximum crawl ratio of 94.75:1, providing even more off-road capability across the line-up,” said Dave Pericak, Ford icons global director.

The manual transmission with Sasquatch package is targeted to be available in late 2021.

Bronco Build and price goes live in October
As excitement builds around the Bronco brand of rugged SUVs, the Bronco two- and four-door build and price site will go live in October. Enthusiasts will be able to virtually create their ideal models and compare pricing for option groups. Reservation holders can create their dream off-road machine and print and save the information for ordering, which will begin in December.

The all-new two- and four-door Bronco goes on sale next spring. To learn more about Bronco and Bronco Sport, go to Ford.com/Bronco.
