I can't get behind this.

We're 4 weeks away from making irreversible decisions on $50,000-$60,000 purchases.

As will be a constant up to the second before you sign on the dotted line (actually, auto purchase agreements are solid lines now, but you get the idea).

The full production spec vehicle will be ready when production has started and not before. Same as it was 4 week ago when you were 8 weeks away from making a decision. Time is funny like that!

The salve to all these stinging buttox is time. You can't make global supply chain manufacturing move faster, it is beyond your control.

This is the best video that we've seen of the interior, thank you!

My impressions are that it's functional, but even this one with the "lux" package certainly is not luxury.

That's fine as I don't need luxury in my Bronco, but it means that I won't be ponying up the extra dough for the high or lux package. I now think the standard or mid package is good enough.

For those Jeep owners, how does this interior compare? Wrangler and Gladiator interiors look very refined and premium from pictures and videos.

Did you notice the dash is also indicating "Front Camera Fault: Service Required"?

That’s because it can’t see, they put it behind the fucking winch!...?.... really my only complaint.

Old news,must be a slow day on Bronco stuff

It is.

4.7 only comes only Badlands manuals, but is included with all Sasquatch models.

it is a no charge option on B&P for the badlands auto

 

[Xploit]

keep in mind that "thing" is not a sasquatch package. For some reason they just decided to throw on 35s to a normal bronco it has no lift.


for comparison here is a actual sasquatch package. check the wheel well room compared to that blue thing

Yeah exactly what I was thinking too

 

[dejones64]

I'm going with the whole setup is a prototype/frankenbuild. They're putting parts together to see what works. If it's a squatch prototype maybe they didn't give it the full lift.

Definitely the best review of the outlander version I’ve seen. Great coverage on all the big and little details of the Bronco.

Thanks for showing the side mirror camera's and rear tailgate camera in handle...I didn't know about these. Bummer on no cup holders in rear though. It would've been nice if the center section of the rear seat folded down into an armrest/cup holder location (or pass through for trunk area).

According to the B&P the 4 door rear seats have an arm rest. So perhaps that's where the cup holders are.

 

[kje22kje]

I was told a month ago that you only get rear cupholders with the flip down center arm rest. I have only ever seen the flip down center arm rest on an outer banks with leather. The build and price doesn't show it anywhere, and I'm not sure if it's the outerbanks, or leather that gets you the armrest, or if it even is still a thing.

In B&P click details on your seating choice(s) and it mentions arm rest for the 4 door.

I was lucky enough to be invited by Ford to hang out with the Badlands Overland Concept at the Moab4x4 Expo. They gave me a whopping 30 minutes with it (that I turned into 45 minutes) and this video is the result.

Dude... as an automotive photographer, I appreciate so much about this video. Great insight, review, content, editing - really nicely done. Thanks for doing this!! what's your instagram handle? I'd love to follow you.

I was used tiresize.com which shows a 1.7" difference in diameter, which matches your numbers.

285-70R17
315-70R17

Do you know where I can find the actual diameters of these specific model tires?

1.7” diameter. You have to use radius....

CORRECTION TO EVERYBODY SAYING IT DOSN'T HAVE THE SASQUATCH
It does, it is a prototype. The front and rear lockers are on this, and it is also a manual transmission so there are a lot of mismatched parts here (including the roof rack everybody keeps mentioning). Yes, I was told the morning I filmed this by the Ford handler that it IS a Prototype Sasquatch. They referenced the Filson as having the more up-to-date version of the Sasquatch goodies, so maybe get a look at that one for more details on what the Sasquatch will really look like.

That's funny. I was at Super Cel East and the Ford rep there specifically told me that no, it is NOT sasquatch.

I think we're having a semantics issue is all. If it's not 100% correct, it's not sasquatch (is what I'm saying). You're saying it's mostly sasquatch, therefore it is.

Look at the wheels, that should be enough to tell you it's not sasquatch. Also, the suspension is not sasquatch suspension (according to the rep I talk to...)
