This is the build thread for my 2023 BaseSquatch 2.3L Auto 2 door with modular bumper and aux switches. Ordered from Town & Country Ford in Bessemer, AL on 2/2/2022.
Had TCCustoms add a @Zone Offroad 1” Leveling Kit, the brush guard and Ford rubber floor mats. Picked up on 6/16/2023.
First...
I know this has been talked about several times before but I had a discussion with one of the guys at TC Customs today that made me question it. What lift is needed to run 37s on the Sas wheels with Sas suspension? Let’s just assume KO2s for the sake of argument because I know different...
I currently have an order for a Black Diamond, but I’m questioning it.
What does the Black Diamond Sas have that the Base Sas doesn’t. Help me justify $7-8k difference.
I currently have an order for a BD. I initially went with this because I thought the MGV interior would be nicer than cloth. The more I read on here and think about it, the more I worry about the seats getting really hot in the summer in Alabama. I will do very minimal off-roading, so I don’t...
I am up in the air on it. Currently have a Black Diamond 2 dr on order (2/2/22 order date, no reservation). I really like the Heritage looks, and it doesn’t look like I’m getting scheduled this year anyway, so I’m really tempted.
Who else is thinking about pulling the trigger on the Heritage?
How close to Velocity Blue are the blue highlights in the BD interior?
I am a little worried that if I get Velocity Blue truck, it will look weird if interior highlights aren’t the same shade of blue.
I finally put the order in today with Town and Country in Bessemer, AL.

Been thinking and researching this for months now.
Plan is 3.5” lift and 17” KMC wheels with 37” Ridge Grapplers.
and yes, I got a signed buyers order!!
I have been reading a lot of people on this forum talk about a "break in period" for the new Bronco. Is this really something Ford is saying is needed or just a holdover from old car guys from days gone by? I have bought probably 10 new cars over the last 20 years (everything from a hatchback...
Okay, forget what is "needed". Has anybody driven the 2.7 in a 2 door Sas? And how much fun is it in comparison to the 2.3?
I have only been able to drive the 2.3 in a 4 door. It seemed to be plenty, so I know it would be for the lighter 2 door. Seems like the 2.7 in the 2 door would be...
Okay I have a weird one. I am ready to put in my order (VB BD Sas 2 dr 2.3 auto), but I really don’t want it to come for about a year.
I always try to only have one car payment at a time and it will take me about another year to get the wife’s paid off. Plan was to wait until then to buy me...
Okay, I am having second thoughts on the build. Current plan is VB Base Sas 2 dr 2.7 Auto. But I am seriously considering VB Black Diamond Sas 2 dr with 2.3 Auto for the interior. Is it worth giving up 2.7 and about $4K for the better interior and rock rails?
Also, side question, can an...
