Base Badlands w/ 33s vs Sasquatch w/ 35s final decision

[Broncoak]

Just an FYI the way B&P shows Sasquatch has a good amount of artistic license. The tires in B&P look to be at least 365 wides and closer to 37’s than 35’s. Tire will not stick outside the flares from the factory — govt regulations. So that look that you want won’t actually exist in person from the factory.

I don’t really see the dilemma here. You’ll be able to upgrade to 35’s with no issue down the road. Why pay $2,500 more for so-so wheels whose beadlock capability you’ll never use and unproven multi-terrain tires.

Roll with 33’s and just upgrade to 35’s for half the cost if you’re unsatisfied with 33’s.

This. Couldn't have said it better myself. If you were waffling between a BD SAS or BL w/33s, I'd say that's a harder decision, but with BL w/33s, you're almost getting a WT or FE for much less, and with 33s, which are awesome (what I have on my current FSB).

4.7 gearing dude.
I think you need sas to get it, I think the B&P is fucked up still.

No you don’t. Manual transmission Badlands has 4.7 gears. This has been said multiple times and there are documents.

People, please- please stop with the “I think” and “I’m not sure but maybe”. If you are not sure, look it up. All the info is out there

Also, all Broncos have HOSS. The dampers are what differs.

Now go ahead and check on 2.7 Auto. The B&P says no charge for 4.7 without sas, but there have been conflicting reports on that. I was referring to the 2.7 Auto..if this was only about MT, I may incorrect.
Even a report by the dealership said they were not sure as posted by another member here.
Tell you want since you seem so sure. Let's bet $50 that the 2.7 Auto BL doesn't come with the 4.7 gearing without an upcharge or you that need sas to get it.
I am hoping I lose this bet, but please ,please, please, take me up on it.

I never said a word about HOSS did I?

Read what you wrote. Never did you state 2.7 auto. If you are going to omit it during your response, don’t then assume everyone knows what you mean.

So to be clear- you meant “4.7 gearing dude [w/ 2.7]” or did you mean “4.7 gearing dude [w/ auto]” or did you mean “4.7 gearing dude [w/ 2.7 & auto]?

To be clear, outside of Sasquatch, you can get 4.7 final gear in a manual Badlands.

My wife doesn’t care what other Broncos have. She offroads her vehicles on moderate to difficult rocky trails and she’ll be going BL non sasquatch. She’s also only 5’2” and that extra inch is a big deal for her on a DD. She can go on any trail that 98% of Bronco owners will ever go on.

if she wants to ride in a lifted vehicle with 35” tires then she can in my truck & jeep.

besides she’d be dumping the squatch wheels & tires anyways and not spending $2500 for 4.7 and larger flares.

and there are documents.

I’m curious, what helped you guys make the final decision one way or the other? Are there any photos of the vehicle that helped you decide either way?

I did read what I wrote which is why I clarified. That was my fault. Guilty.
Now...back you your post. Based on what you said that all the info is out there just read it before posting. Right?? So, based on the B&P for the BL 2.7 Auto for 4.7 gearing it relfects no charge when selected. So that should be accurate, right? So...you wanna put your money where your mouth is or not?

All the info is out there. We agree on that. You did not talk about HOSS. We agree on that.

Who says B&P is right? Slow down the posting and vamp up the reading. I know you are trying to help but just read what I wrote and what you wrote.

Hopefully my edited, Ford Media brochure-pic is posted to help answer any questions. Again, the info is out there. B&P is flawed- glad we agree.

get a tape measure. Measure out 0.7 inches (about a thumb width), that is about how much higher your truck will sit. Then measure 1.2 inches and that is how much wider the tires will be. If that is worth $2500 to you, then have at it, Hoss (pun intended)!

I cannot open what you attached, fails to open.
I disagree. I still cannot get 100% confirmation if the 2.7 Auto 2DR BL comes with 4.7 gearing with no up charge or only with with sas. I don't think it does, despite what the B&P reflects. I say "think" becuase I don't know for sure.
Does it? What does your doc say?

To get 4.7 gears, you need either the Sasquatch package or a manual Badlands. As of this moment, no other way.

B&P is wrong. 4.7 is Sasquatch package or Manual badlands. This is made clear in the order guide. The order guides trumps B&P
