Many will tune the 2.7 to 425HP and instantly brake the manual. There are lots of reasons as pointed out above. Clutch drops, people who don't know how to drive and unload the the torque instantly, etc. Ford builds them to be unbreakable and can't suffer a bad rep in the first year because...
It seems to me the BL with 33's has the same suspension and more travel. They say "it's the same susp but the squatch has limiters" with respect to travel (to accomodate a 35). I think I'm going with a non-squatch BL and throwing on 34" super swampers after wearing out the 33 MTs.
Anyone...
Expensive is a relative term. I do guarantee that many who spent $100 to reserve will pull out but Ford is smart as they make you think you already own a piece of her, and it has sucked many into visiting the forums daily to salivate, myself included as there has been steady news/vids here.

My wish is a factory snorkel for deep water crossings. Just with the alternator was mounted higher, may have to go 37's and even more reason to squatch for gearing.
Has anyone heard of a snorkel kit being offered? Does anyone know when they will release the accessory list? As far as water fording goes, I I vaguely remember them quoting 30 or so inches? The alternator is at the lower aspect of the engine which is a concern. Hopefully they mount the air...
Regarding the Q of Sasquatch vs BL suspension, I especially want to know articulation differences. Knowing them they will just say "they have different shocks to accomodate the 35'S." They need to be pinned down on this question with Detailed differences.
For thick/slick clay and ruts I would say a front locker would definitely be beneficial. 35s for sure if your Z71 was getting stuck considering the ruts and clay essentially turning your tires into slicks unless you spin the hell outta them.
Aftermarket suspension companies will Surely "out do" factory suspension and make a much better product not covered under warranty. Look at what "Total Chaos" suspension does for Tacomas. There is a trade off however. You can spend a tremendous amount of cash to void your warranty for killer...
Looks Sick! As others have said with respect to their boats, Vinyl is where its at. I leave my boat in the harbor and hit it with 3M vinyl protectant quarterly and they look new after years of salt water runs/spray offs.
Its much better doing doughnuts with the rear end locked. This feature will shine on tight switchbacks that would ordinarily require three forward/reverse full wheel crank turns.
Regarding out of Ford warranty tunes use caution. I have personally had Three new mustang top ends with aftermarket turbos blow on on the dyno by a private tuner. If you need to know names PM me and I'll be happy to disclose.
This is an exteme aftermarket example (turbo plus tune) however my...
