Badlands vs Sasquatch Badlands

[Rick Astley]

This, looking at the new comparisons of the Rubicon vs Badlands has me questioning the Sasquatch width. That and parking in my garage.

A friend cancelled his Bronco order when even the Black Diamond would be a horror to try and park in his inner-city parking garage.

These rigs have a much more square, and wider body than trails have been seeing as well. If a Jeep with narrow (metal) flares on massive tires has gone through a trail a few thousand times to rut it out, that's not the same as the portly, square-body Bronco doing the same. Bronco's are going to be taking an absolute BEATING on existing trails as they have to force the trail wider. Sasquatch equipped Bronco's don't narrow the body of the vehicle, just push other things out more. Jeeps have a narrow body with lots of cushy rubber tires at the extreme ends for a reason

Even while doing the White Rim trail in Canyonlands in a Jeep on 37" tires, the times when there was 2-way traffic could be quite narrow if you take trail edges seriously and don't want to drive off-trail (as is highly suggested and should be the objective for all wheelers where parks have asked for drivers to take this responsibility upon themselves). That's on a trail that has no real obstructions nearby.

^^^ Hey, is that a Yellowstone colored Bronco?????

if the tire size are right that I found then the exact size deferents from a 33 to 35 tire is .825 so were you get 2 inches from

Buddy, I could ask you the same question with your constant spelling and punctuation mistakes

For what it's worth, I just came from talking with a Ford rep who had a 2-door Badlands at a nearby dealership for a couple hours to show their salesmen, and he said the extra height on a squatched badlands comes from just the tires. He said shocks and springs were the same.

I was under that same impression early on. Then I heard from many on here that the travel on the SAS Bilsteins was longer. And I know the reservoir is in the opposite direction on the SAS, but couldn't that just be flipped to accommodate the 35s?

I had also heard that the Badlands had different mounts for the Bilsteins than all other models.

I hear a lot of things...

I believe there is actually less travel on the sasquatch compared to the regular badlands.

Base, Badlands, Sasquatch

Great work. I knew that when the crash bars came up it would start the healthy debate up all over again, but it’s a serious subject safety wise. Bottom line for me is that they stay on my non-satch badlands unless I’m headed into heavy mud and rut. They come off in two bolts, I believe.

Only in a forum like this would a bunch of guys argue over fractions of an inch. The girls don't notice. One guy says the tires are 2" difference, which makes 1" higher height. The other guy says they're only 1.7" different, which is .85" higher. She says she can't tell the difference.

Him: "Honey, it's 5 1/2 inches, not 5 inches. Huge difference. HUGE DIFFERENCE!"

Her: "Umm, OK'.

I was helping the neighbor load an aerator into his F250 and said, "Are these 35s?" He said they are 37s. I realize now I may have insulted his manhood.
