Filson is bringing me back to Ford

[CarGuy]

Amen. I see some pristine Bronco Sasquatches and Raptors in the Trader Joe’s parking garage and entering/exiting the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club. Filson trim just reflecting the actual use case for 4x4s that cost $80,000.

I wonder what the Tiffany to Lululemon times will be - hopefully under 6 seconds.

All I know is that they would sell one more Filson edition if it had two less doors.

Holy crap!!!!!! You got Me curious I browsed the Filson site, Wow, I have better ways to spend money, quite pricey

I swear I read somewhere that it would be in the high 300s, but I agree that it could be anything.

Yep, just saw this in Car & Driver

"The Filson edition features the Bronco Raptor's twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6. However, it doesn't sound like the Filson will have the full 418 horsepower; we think it'll be in the high-300 range, though.

The brand described the collab version as "tuned for everyday performance," which a spokesperson told Car and Driver meant it wouldn't be quite as loud as the Raptor. Still, the same spokesperson told us that even detuned, the 3.0-liter V-6 will be more than a half-second quicker to 60 mph than the 2.7-liter V-6 in the standard Bronco. Our last test with that powertrain required 6.2 seconds to reach 60 mph, so the Filson should be somewhere in the mid-5-second range."

Umm, no one? Says this BadSas owner. I got it because I needed the capability and didn’t want to do aftermarket work at an untrusted shop outside the warranty. I was totally unfamiliar with all the Sasquatch lore and iconography (and I’m still not sure I get it).

I think you'd be surprised. A lot of people buy something because it's "top of the line" not because they actually need the capability. I'd bet a good number of people even on this enthusiast forum, can't tell you what you get in a Sasquatch over a non sasquatch after you spot them the wheel and tires. It's no different from any soccermom who drives her kids to practice in a Rubicon. they buy it because of status and image.

Will they offer the Filson with a manual transmission? The crawl gear is perfect for a Starbucks drive thru.

No. The manual transmission is paired to the 2.3L. The Filson will get the 3.0L and 10spAuto.
