They said next year when you order? I thought we were ordering on 12/7?

My winch question got answered. You either get the winch with an obstructed view or don't get it. There is no workaround. Other than trying to relocate the winch motor, but I don't think that will work either. It would be a $2500 gamble.

Because of their reply it’s either one or the other because of interference I will wait to buy the winch. I figure I’ll maybe use the winch once or twice a year versus using the front forward facing camera weekly trying to avoid tire shredding lava.

The video makes it look like they didn’t change the lift, just had higher fender openings on the customer fenders

I believe you are right!

 

[Ranger345]

Is it just me or should of Ford made the fenders squared off in the first place?

Lord no! They almost always look disjointed.

 

[Ranger345]

66-77 bronco had squared off fenders if they were cut....just saying... I think it would give it a more retro look.

Bet it won’t be long before aftermarket Camera Relocation Kits are available.

That’s been my thought all along. Why not just move the camera up?

About the Ford rep confirming that the Sasquatch is "10 mils" lift over Badlands, how does that square with the questions answered at SuperCel East (see @Boxer4's post). In this Q&A, it appears that the Sas gets stiffer springs *and* "longer shocks" over the Badlands. I can't imagine that this kind of effort of procuring two different parts for a 10mm lift is a believable action Ford would have taken. There's got to be some kind of conflict here. Anyone have any further info on this?

ANSWERS:

2. Suspension Difference on BL vs Sasquatch how? -Will 35' tires fit BL
Sasquatch has stiffer springs and longer shocks. There is no “ spacer”

3. How is the Sasquatch lift done? Stiffer springs?-Spacers-Longer shocks? See #2

I'm thinking about just buying an aftermarket camera for the front, running it through the pre-wired harness and setting it up where I want. Hopefully it will be more plug and play and less programming...

Good point. Maybe later Ford will have an option like the 2020 Jeep Gladiator's front facing camera that is tied into the Window washer system and mounted higher.

Can I get those coil overs that they show at 11:56 ?

Wouldn't trust the stance of that truck


Good video all around tho ......still can't wait to get mine in the driveway

That’s not what I heard. They were talking about if the Badlands and Sasquatch suspensions were the same. He said the Badlands suspension added 10mm to the height and the Sasquatch suspension added 1 1/2 inches to the height. That makes the Sasquatch suspension about 1 1/8 inches higher than the Badlands.

Edit: 23:50 in is the time stamp.

You’re right. I just went back to that time stamp and he said “with the BL suspension your getting about a 10mm lift and with Squatch you’re getting about 1.5” of lift.”

Looks like the Squatch is getting about a 1.2” lift over the Badlands suspension. This actually makes sense, visually between the Overlander build and a regular Squatch build.
Good catch!! ?

Yes. Ford rep did not confirm only a 10mm difference.

He said the Badlands suspension added 10mm to the height and the Sasquatch suspension added 1 1/2 inches to the height.

1.5 over base vehicle is what I heard and I'll bet the 10mm is in tire radius

This may work for forward view only. I believe you still might loose some functionality of the 360 view. I’ll wait on the winch for now.
