Anyone getting a Non-Sasquatched Badlands?

[Freezing0K]

Curious as to how many people are getting the Badlands but not the Sasquatch package, do you feel the trim is sufficient for your needs and the upgraded package doesn't warrant the cost for you?

As of now, that is one of my two main options:

Outer Banks w/ sasquatch

... or ...

Badlands w/out

Would be totally fine w/ the standard 33s on the Badlands, I think, but will know more when B&P comes out.

Treat yourself and get the Badlands!

I am! For me, it comes down to tires. I plan on DD'ing my vehicles while also taking it off road. It's nice to have all of the hardware for heavy duty off-roading while having the BF Goodrich KO2 A/T's that provide better on-road performance. The 35" M/T's on the Sasquatch are a bit extreme for DD'ing.

I figured if the 33" A/T's don't offer enough off-road performance, I can upgrade after the fact.

I’m leaning towards MT BL. I can always add some bigger tires, but am perfectly happy with the 33s

What makes the 35's less desirable for DD'ing? Is it the noise and gas mileage?

I am leaning towards the Badlands w/o sas because I want the manual and that is as close as you can get to a sas. I also prefer the 33 over the 35 so I am completely fine w/o sas.

Might seem a bit random, but what do you plan to do with your Bronco?

Correct. M/T's are much knobbier and have wider spaced tire tread. This results in more noise and vibrations. This combined with the 35" vs 33" tire results in worse gas mileage.

The 33" BF Goodrich K02 A/T's have excellent reviews. I feel they will be perfectly fine for nearly all the stuff I throw at them.

I have a First Edition and a Wildtrak reserved. I might switch one of them to the Badlands. My issue is I will rarely take it off road (maybe once a year), so I feel like the 33s will be nicer on the road (vs the mud tire 35s). However, if the Sasquatch looks cooler because of the extra height, then I would want that. It comes down to whether the look outweighs the road noise from the 35s. I'm probably going to give up the FE reservation. I'm only interested in the Cactus Grey with White Top and a light interior like in the promo ads.

[Squatch]

I want the manual. So, until Ford man's up the Sasquatch package I am going Badlands and wearing a Sasquatch costume while I drive.

Treat yourself and get the Badlands!

Haha you know me too well. Right now, I plan on getting the High Package but it really comes down to cost. For me, the only real option on the Lux package I'd use regularly is the Heated Steering Wheel, the other options are just nice add-on's. If the price difference between the Lux and High is $3000+ I won't go for it, but if it's less, I'd consider upgrading.
