Sasquatch Package With Manual Transmission [Sign Petition For It!]

[eBronco]

FWIW, Mike Levine said the dual lockers are standard on the Badlands and that the website will be updated.

So, why can't someone order the Sas on a Base MT?

That's a million dollar question and my pockets are empty.

Based on all of the documentation, the only reason the Sasquatch package requires the Automatic is the Trail Control feature, which is just software. How in the hell can that prevent the Manual transmission from being used? Just turn off Trail Control and away we go. Instead Ford developed this fancy software and it must be on the Sasquatch package so you have to settle for our slushbox.

Just to piggy back--not a single piece of information they have released, including anything on any website, graphic, etc.--would indicate the auto-only restriction. Not a single bit.

I heard the reveal video say 2.3 and 2.7 available with manual transmission. I literally jumped out of my chair in celebration.

i interpret this as "why can you get a sas with a manual on base?". because it isn't available. sorry if i didn't answer you questions

It's gotta be way more arbitrary than a software requirement, no? Otherwise they wouldn't be "open to feedback"?

You mean it isn't offered. It certainly is available.

Also, according to the Ford website, the Sasquatch is not transmission and/or engine specific.

So....is MIKE LEVINE trolling us?

Media is starting to pick up on this:

Mike Levine's Ford email is "expired", that's Fords way of telling me its above my paygrade. I guess i'll leave it to the twitter mob!

That said, I would not be surprised if there was a way to option HOSS and/or 35's independently from the Sasquatch package. But I don't care. Lets make some noise

Stepped back, a breath of air, stretched a little, dropped a duec...(from the stretching). Was loosing track of my goal.

In all honesty I wanted prior to the reveal be into a 4 door with a manual and 33in tires under or around 42k. The BD still gets me mostly there with 32's. Would I like to get a sasquatch...hell yeah...or at least a front locker or the m210 added to the BD. I am more bummed I cant get the m210 than I am about the locker. Still looking forward to buying and happy with the BD starting point.

Most companies are open to feedback. They usually don't care, but they will always pretend to listen.
