Base Model Bronco Thread

Love how it comes standard with hardtop
Sasquatch package is a steal for $4195 (hopefully not a bug!!) and the 10 sp. auto for about $1595

I was gonna add some 32-inch mud-terrain and 17 in rims aftermarket but it would come out to about $2500 bux.
That's only about $1700 from the sasquatch, let alone it includes shocks, suspension, flares, advanced 4x4, and Beadlock wheels.

In my opinion, anyone thinking about adding some AT/MT wheels should just consider the sasquatch.

$2500 for tires/wheels seems high though. Keep an eye on Discount Tire and other stores that typically have sales around holidays. I got my 265/75R16s (32s) for around $75 each after rebates on a Memorial Day sale.

Nice. I did decide V6 I think... it will just be so fun with that thing. I’m waiting for ‘22 MY though so I’ll have more time to plan.

I struggled with going with the V6 and in the long run (My current truck has over 346K miles on it.), it might be the better choice. However, I don't expect to tow anything with this thing so the smaller engine in the two door should be just fine.

My dealer sent me today this link, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get the four cylinder with the 7 speed manual. If it is not true and you can't get the base four cylinder with the manual, I will drop my reservation and look elsewhere.

What tire size would you be upgrading to? What kind of offroading was your normal? Mine at least for the first several years will not be going past anything harder than an "easy" trail or Forest Service type road, no real rocks or mud holes. I'm sure aftermarket will have a good solution for the tow package, Ford has said one isn't available for the Base. I'd really like to be able to tow a small camper with it!

I'd get 33", should have 9.9 inches ground clearance and that's fine. I'd add an aftermarket lift front and rear with thicker body shocks (ICON, Bilstein). Probably $1500 - $2000 for the lift kit. Offroading I get into pretty rough terrain, not Rubicon rough, and I don't care to get into Rubicon rough. So really no need for a locking diff with the GOAT modes and good articulation.

Base 4-dr will be fine with my own upgrades instead of splurging for a higher trim or squatching it. Aftermarket lift will match the Squatch suspension, possibly better. Yes, aftermarket ClassIII hitch will be added, but sure would be nice to already have the 7-pin wired.

I built a 4-dr Base 2.7 10-spd hardtop with some other goodies for $39,015. With the aftermarket upgrades I'm getting close to the Squatch package pricing of $44,805 so Squatch is still a consideration. Could probably sell the Squatch suspension if aftermarket is better than the factory Bilsteins.

Eh, still have some thinking to do about what works best and gets the most bang for the buck.

My Build: 2021 Bronco
Model: 2 Door
Trim: Base
Color: Shadow Black (also considering Antimatter Blue but only like 10%)
Packages: Sasquatch
Options:
10 speed auto
Wheel lock kits (for the sasquatch thieves)
assistance kit: on road
floor liners (a must)
black stainless steel license plate (y not)
Total: $36139
EVEN MADE IT MY DESKTOP BACKGROUND

Did you notice that it didn’t charge for the 10spd automatic with the Sasquatch package? It says “included” in the $4999

Under Base specifications they have this. Are all wheel sets available with the base? It’s not on the build and price.

No. It even tells you under each tire which trim it's for.

What's up with Base not coming with the center oh-shit handle? Kind of a small weird thing to leave off on only the Base models.

Goes hand in hand with the "no tint", It probably cost Ford to tool and manufacture a blank for that location instead of just tossing in a handle.

Anyone able to build a BaseManSquatch? I tried building a mansquatch on every 2door trim level and couldn't. I didn't try the 4 doors. Checking to see if I'm missing something, thanks

I also noticed as you change exterior color the color of the interior door trim changes to match....pretty cool.

Pretty sure that’s part of the painted door you see on the inside and not trim on the 2dr.

After B&P went live, I'm having trouble justifying why a Wildtrak is $15K more than a base/sas. I mean, I love a 12" screen and the B&O sound system like the next man but...

Dont forget about the upgraded gearing too

That looks really good. I"m having a hard time with the color choices.

I noticed. I’ve been thinking 2.7 the whole time but if you can get a free automatic transmission with Sasquatch it’s a possibility given mpg (range) and no premium fuel.
That being said, I’ll probably still go with the 2.7.

I was bummed at first about the no hitch option. Would be nice to know about dealer install availability. Did some research and found this chassis pic. The tow hitch looks pretty similar to the current JL style hitch. Aftermarket sells this type hitch and wiring for about $70 and looks pretty simple to install. Here's hoping for quick availability. Saves a bunch too. Almost went up to Black Diamond. ?
