Base Model Bronco Thread

[Chrism81]

Yep, I was deciding between the BD and basesquatch with added stuff and it's looking more like I will be getting the base since the x-plan savings is pretty small.

Yeah. Ford might save me $15k not offering X plan haha! Planning on a BadLuxSquatch and who needs more BadLux after 2020?

Basemansquatch... What is the smallest tire you can put on a Sasquatch rim?

It’s an 8.5in rim. I personally don’t want smaller than 285. I really like 285/75/17s and might see about selling/ trading my wheels/tires.

Those C rated Nitto Ridge Grapplers in 285/75r17 are a really tempting swap to have the dealer make when buying.

I’m thinking someone with a Badlands might want to swap with some cash thrown in. I’d be happy with Badlands wheels + cash, sell the stock tires and buy what I want. 8 inch rims would be perfect for me. Just have to see about backspacing.

Will see what the builder shows, but ideally a sasquatch with the MT would be great, AT less so.

If the bump stops limit tire travel, it would almost make more sense to get a BASE BASE model with nothing and install an LT kit yourself--not sure if there'd be one available or retrofitted from Rangers...

I read it's less than an inch. That's a lot of work for something you may not miss

The mythical bump stops can be removed if they exist.The squatch gives you gears, axle, lockers, plus suspension on all 4 corners. It would make little sense to start with a base base and upgrade those on your own. The base base makes sense to leave stock or do a wild build.

It comes with a tailgate...

At your price maybe 4door and auto trans added, or 4door squatch?

Can't decide over the final two ways for me to go.
They will both be really close money wise.

Is anyone certain about going with either of these over the other?

Mansquatch +Advanced TC

2.7/10A + Advanced TC + aftermarket tires

Mansquatch +Advanced TC for more personality in driving experience. Manual puts you into the environment vs watching a movie on a screen.

On kind a related issue...I'm going manual + Sasquatch but going back and forth on whether to add the Advanced 4x4. Sasquatch gives me the 4.7 gearing so no plus there. The 4A might be useful on snowy/icy/ rain slick roads but Slippery GOAT mode and sensible driving might make those situations ok.
Opinion/experiences...is Advanced 4x4 worth the expected $1000 on a Sasquatch equipped Bronco?

I would assume the advanced TC helps more with the auto trans than a manual(for the trail 1 pedal drive and trail turn assist and trail control) . But I have no experience with the advanced trans.

Not much of an upgrade for 1000, but if it was 500 maybe, but how much I would use it, probably never

If I still lived in Alaska, I would get it. I think it’s great if you spend a couple months a year on snow/ice highway conditions. Living in the south, it’s just not worth it to me. I would rarely use it.
