Back to Back Bronco Badlands spare tires -- 33" vs 35" height difference visual

[Tricky Dick]

They both use the same mounting point, same lug bolt attachment, so the cameras are equal.

Saaquatch uses a taller brake light riser.

The camera should be a little over an inch higher. +1 from the tires and +the extra lift from Sasquatch.

This thread makes me uncomfortable.

They are the same, Squatch adds a spacer, it's explained here with photos of both mounts.

Sasquatch vs non Sasquatch spare tire rack pictures!

It has nothing to do with the horizontal difference. As someone else said, the camera should be 1" higher because of the tire size alone on the vehicle. With the camera's showing identical heights, it looks like ford modified the mount to make the camera the same height. On top of that, clearly the 3rd brake light bracket is higher.

The guy on the right is who she tells you not to worry about

35” are beefier, which is clear from the specs. I’m still going with 33” because it think it will be better for daily driving while still being more that sufficient off-road.

HOWEVER, the #1 factor in my decision is that I can easily upgrade to 35s. OEM rubber tends to wear out quickly and upgrading to 35s would be easy at that first replacement. By contrast, can’t upgrade to the 2.7L or 12” screen. So that’s where I’m spending my money.

even with that said, I’d spend the money if I knew the 33s would disappoint. Right now, I expect to be very happy with the blend of performance and driveability, slightly bummed at the reduction in looks.

Alleged to be two Badlands backed up against each other and kissing cameras. Thought it was a great visual.

Great picture!! Thanks for sharing!

My wife is worried about the step in height of our Badlands. She is 5-4 and hates “climbing into” F150 on 34’s and is worried having the same issue with the Bronco (it is gonna be her daily). We have driven a Sasquatch Big Bend and sat in a Wildtrack...both were cumbersome for her to get into. I was worried a non-sas Badlands would still be too tall, but this really shows the difference!

I prefer that tire on the right, beefy as heck.

This is a problem. This is not an "issue." Issues are topics for discussion that may or may not lead to the recognition of a problem. It is a very good idea to start a thread that reports specific problems in order that Ford Motor Company may have an opportunity to come to know of the problems and resolve the problems.

The 33s look like pizza cutters

Wow! 33” to 35” just sounds like a small 2” difference in tire size. The picture shows the reality of how beefy the 35’s are.

I think the camera that took this picture is higher than the cameras on the Broncos. And the bronco on the right is closer (judging by the taillight being visible on the bronco on the left.) So the camera on the right bronco appears to align with the camera of the bronco on the left. But the camera from the right bronco is actually in front of the one on the left, and higher up. Maybe?

Now we just need someone to do a serious tape measure session on squatch and other versions tire height dimensions.

 

[flatlander40]

We know the difference in height isn’t huge and this is all assuming they are both parked on perfectly level ground with no slope or imperfections.
