Sasquarch roof racks restricted from factory due to issues with GVWR; can still be installed aftermarket

[Fordboi]

This one is not sasquatched, its a regular badlands that they put 35's on. It was explained in the walkaround video.

It is a Sasquatch with aftermarket Ko3”s

It is NOT Sasquatch!

Yes from what I gathered on the other forums about this is that it is squatched, but just doesn't have the heavier duty lift coils, which applies to the rear as well. If a bronco has squatch fenders, but not the coils it is really a squatch??
The answer is more elusive than Sasquatch himself.

I wish Ford would give people a better break down on sasquatch components, like do they lower the front diff to compensate for increased CV joint angle?

Which is why I purposely called them the "sasquatch fenders" and didn't call it a Sasquatch.

I am totally with you on this and have been equally annoyed by everyone calling each vehicle out by its "trim" solely based on the front grille.

High and Lux packages come with "additional sound deadening materials." So there's that.

I see, thanks for calling it out. The 4-door comes in a soft-top as standard, so I'm assuming the sound deadening they're referring to is for the roof since the 2-door is a hardtop.

Ah I see so that package comes with it.

You can on the Badlands. They are a $995 option w/ the 33's.

The wheel options are standard, beadlock (comes with Sasquatch), and high gloss aluminum (non-beadlock). I wish I could get the beadlock as an option. Will probably go stock them swap them out.

in the bronco nation materials video and trail concept video, both mention the $995 wheels upgrade (non sasquatch) are bead lock capable. I think the build and price description is just missing that detail.

So are the restrictions linked to Sasquatch here because of the weight difference or height? If weight, I would be surprised if this bronco weighs less than a sasquatch bronco due to the steel bumpers and winch. If height is also a factor, yeah this one might be 1/2" less tall than a sasquatch.

I heard that is was due GVWR on the four door. Apparently Ford was concerned that a 4 -door with Sasquatch and roof rack with the roof rack loaded could exceed the Bronco GVWR. Not sure if that is true but read it on another forum.

Jesus just buy the damn rack either when you order or just after it arrives. The thing installs in minutes and is not worth all this whining.

Do you mean that the hard top is prepped to receive the roof rack? Any closeup shots of how the roof rack attaches to the top?

Thanks that looks easy! How about on the back, same deal? Assume the roof rack has to come off to remove the top, yes?

The rear-most panel & windows, yes. The forward panels can be removed with the rack still on.
