Makes sense, actually....better handling and mileage. First I've seen, tho!

Yes, was thinking 35s as more of a “track day” setup for weekend adventures but have a more streetable daily setup with 33” ATs and all the other improved running gear other than the sway bar disconnects.
Don't forget cost of tires.
265 70 17 on BD 31.6" cost $150
285 70 17 on BL 33" cost $250
35s on Sasquatch cost $300+
Can you lift the 35s to the spare mounting point? Change a tire? It's nearly 100#.
People are forgetting this aspect of the Bronco. Especially the new lifestyle buyers.

I’ve debated this, but ultimately decided on the BD to stay within budget and check the most boxes that I wanted.
Comes down to how much do you want to spend or what you can live without?

So how much will 33s screw up the driveability of the 4.7 gears? I'm stuck between Basesquatch and Double Diamond, I mean BD. One of my favorite songs is about the Double Diamond Cattle Ranch, and I have trouble keeping them separate.
My debate almost exactly. BD w/Squatch, vs BL w/o Squatch, both with tow, mid, 2.7. Also 4.7's either way. BL comes out about $1000 more...but then squatch is only $2500 more and I start debating BL w/squatch again...

It wont!
A non squatched Badlands will look small compared to a squatched BD. I'm sticking with BD after comparing the two besides I think the signature headlights look dumb.

I know the headlights will be able to changed out in the near future. Just like many of the other threads, If I go Sasquatch or not will depend on driving dynamics. I'm really hope we can drive these vehicles in January. Per the SEMA interviews the Bronco project manager said dealers will be getting one vehicle per dealer in January. Fingers crossed

Here’s a good look at a non sasquatch driving on the road. Definitely doesn’t look small to me but everyone’s definition is different.
Both are great options but seeing 33’s in person and knowing most pickup trucks don’t come with tires larger than 32’s, 35’s would be too much for me to deal with for everyday driving. I think you’ll be really happy with either option, it just comes down to what options matter most to you.

My understanding is none of the dealer vehicles will be available for test drives. You can start it, sit in it, drive it around the lot, but because they will be pre-production, they will not be titled and won't be dealer stock. I have no clue which models they will be building, but likely some mix of models and dealers will get sort of luck of the draw? Maybe the more complicated builds first to get everything through testing? Thats was my understanding from conversations with the dealer and the "original" , revised plan that has seen several changes and delays.
I know, in the back of my head I will look at Squatch with envy if I don't get it. Knowing the 33's will drive so much better.
