I’ve been back and forth on this... If I did go Squatch, I’d eventually go aftermarket wheels/tires anyways. I guess it comes down to what’s actually included with BL Squatch. Longer shocks, lift etc? Hopefully Ford can give us some more specifics regarding this before ordering.. I definitely like that I can get 35’s straight from the factory and that it’ll all be covered under warranty, so I’m 50/50 right now.

if you really want 35’s, get them you’ll be happy since this truck was designed from the factory For them.

I’m still leaning 33’s on stock wheels as KO2’s are such good road tires and I really like the stock wheels as seen in the cyber orange picture. If every one of my neighbors had a Sasquatch I might get jealous, but drivability, mpg, even just parking will be easier on the 33’s.

Side note: I still think the B&P is wrong and we’ll find out soon that the upgrade for the 2.7l is NOT only $300 and instead the full $1,895 on top of the $1.500 automatic transmission. I can’t do both Sasquatch plus another $1,900 for bigger engine, so no Sasquatch for me if that turns out to be true.
My dealer ( 350+ Reservations ) is already taking PDFs of the current B & P. I 'm sure others are doing the same. Ford has had plenty of notice to "correct" pricing. Hard to close that barn door now.

first time seeing that white badlands. Now I changed my mind again and have to go Sasquatch!
Non-Squatch white Badlands with optional rims and optional (mini Squatch) 33" tires. This looks like the balls to me!

This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking at building. I may decide to go sasquatch, but if not it'll be this. It looks very good on 33s and the beefier tires.

Tire choice seems to make all the difference in the world to me... this looks great. However, some of the other 4 doors with less aggressive tread pattern look like the wheels are too small.

I'm skipping Sasquatch on my Badlands and going aftermarket lift and at least 35's, prefereably 37's.
Why would you do that when u can just get Sasquatch, or even wildtrak

Agree, remember these are 33s, while most other trims have 32s and more street oriented.

Agree - the wheels/tires in the photo above total approx. $1600. Squatch is another $800 over that. And other than 2" larger tires, and bumpstops, we don't know what we're paying for with that $800. It's not all tires, obviously.

Hopefully Ford can share a bit more info.

37's. If you don't want to look up to anyone. Saw them on a gladiator. Wow.
I saw a Gladiator on 37s Friday. Wow is right. First one I've seen that wasn't immediately forgettable.

I don't think the optional BL wheels are headlock capable though.

The optional Badlands wheels ARE BEADLOCK CAPABLE!

And... they carbonized grey beauty ring looks better than the shiny silver Sasquatch ring.

This board will explode if your side note is true. It does make sense though.
