I haven't been able to test drive a sasquatch yet, and I haven't been able to test drive a Mojave either. I have a stick willy's gladiator while waiting for the my22 bronco mansquatch and a Rubicon gladiator as a loaner for couple weeks while the Willy's is in service. While I'm enjoying the big tires over potholes, the suspension seems smoother than some cars but worse than others, I'm curious to know the ride quality difference between sasquatch and Mojave while going over potholes. If the Mojave is smoother, I might even consider buying it instead of the bronco.

Im interested, not in a Mojave but how smooth a squatch or badlands is over potholes and stuff. Im trying to figure out if it will sufficiently smooth out our road for my wife.

Rode in a big Bend with squatch at about 35-40 on a fairly rough dirt road. The same speed and all would easily bounce my truck off the road, the big Bend just soaked it up... never skittered around or anything. Hope that helps

I have a Badlands and a Mojave. The Mojave is definitely bounces a lot more over any bumps - eg. potholes, railroad tracks, uneven roads, and etc. The Badlands is noticeably smoother over them.

Yes, I had a Jeep Gladiator Mojave, which I sold to get my Ford Bronco Wildtrak Sasquatch. I just came back from Moab and Ouray with my Bronco and can wholeheartedly say (IMO) that the Gladiator isn’t even in the same league as the Bronco. Had the Gladiator out to Moab and Ouray last year, so have real life comparison.
Personally, I think Bronco rides better on highway (did change tires to Toyo Open Country RT Trails) and the off-road comparison isn’t even a fair comparison… Even being a somewhat novice off-road enthusiast this Bronco has way more capabilities than I do - super impressed!

In my experience the stock jeep rubicon suspension always feels like i'm riding in an old leaf sprung 1 ton pickup. It seems there isn't much difference in feel between a big bump and a little bump in those things. I know aftermarket suspension improves that but you'll still have the super vague and wandering steering.

Mine will regularly remind me to keep my hands on the wheel when i have the lane keeping system on because the bronco tracks so straight down the road, its probably the best i've ever driven.

If you plan on doing long trips, that wandery jeep steering will wear you out having to constantly keep it in the lane while getting bobbed around.
