Cruise control, have we confirmed cruise control is standard? I can’t do without cruise control.

I’ve looked through all the trims and I don’t see cruise control mentioned anywhere. I’m assuming it’s standard until I see otherwise.

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but i have seen in a couple YouTube videos where dealers said it was standard on all models.

I believe cruise, power windows/door locks, A/C all standard.

I know I have read that somewhere as well. The only doubt I have is specs list Equip group 100A as standard as opposed to 101A which (according to Bronco Dealer ) is power/cruise etc.

It is all there on base....good value

Looks like we have room to build some manual disconnects. 2:18 nice shot of the link. Just putting it out there.

On the Ford official website under the safety tab of the specs, it says that Ford Co-Pilot 360 is standard, which would mean things like blind spot monitoring and adaptive cruise would be standard.

Hopefully it can be configured to be regular cruise control instead of adaptive, every one of those systems I’ve used does the exact opposite response of what a normal human does.
I was hoping with the base model I could get away from the intrusive “safety” “tech”.

Theres a way to make it regular cruise control on my Acura, I'm sure its the same on the Bronco. I'm sure there will be an off button for all that stuff.

You can turn off adaptive cruise in the Ford system and it will stay normal cruise control.

The upfitter switches are a standalone option that will be available on every trim level:

And yes, the USB ports are in the media tray in front of the shifter.

i don't know if i should be happy i can get aux switches or mad I'm now going to pay for aux switches.

I don’t think the base gets adaptive cruise, lane keeping, BLIS, or any of that jazz. But this document contradicts the spec site and what some dealers have said. Again, we have to wait for the B&P.

They are usually cheap, right. It’s a sub-$200 option on the SuperDuty.

Why I may not do Base vs Badlands.

-SASQ same additional cost for both (it's a wash)
-Rock rails already on (approx cost 300+ to base model price)
-Different bumper (prefer Badlands but if got base probably mod it myself)
-Privacy glass (prefer Badlands but if got base would leave alone. Basically a non-issue)
-Rubber flooring and Marine grade seating (PRICELESS but free to cut out carpet, About 600+ for Wet Okole covers)
-Tow package (not sure if optional on base model)
-Disco's (not sure if you can get on base model but since I no longer rock crawl I can live without)
-Manual trans on 4 door (NOT avail on base? Might I have to rethink auto with bigger motor?)

I did this mainly for me, to see if it would make sense to pay for a higher model.
---I guess IF I can compromise on the transmission which I can not easily change BUT after looking up "average automatic transmission rebuild cost (2800-3800) on AAMCO's site I should probably factor in some dollars here as a future savings...let's say $2000 deducted from the Badlands cost. I have had ZERO issues with my manuals for the past 2 decades. No trans/clutch issues
---Add rock rails (easily done)
---Change/mod bumper(s) (easily done)
---Who cares about glass...roof and doors off 7 and 6 months respectively
---Cut out carpet (did this with current JP and since I do not sell my vehicles, no worries about killing resale value)
---Tow package - wait an see if avail on base model
---Can I compromise on the area 51 color option???
_______________________________________________________________________
Base 4 door starting price..33,200.00 + Sasq package = ???
Badlands 4 door starting....44,590.00 + Sasq package = ???
(not factoring in any trans repair costs)
If I add to the base model all the things I would pay to change fairly quickly, my base model cost might go up by say 900-2000

Soooo, is it worth 11,390 (or 9,390-10,490) to get the added extra goodies, 1st paint choice? Food for thought between now and December. Posting this on here in case others are able to offer insight
EDIT: THOUGHTS on Sasq price: cost difference between Badlands: $44,590 and Wildtrak (which includes Sasq) : $51,370
in the 4 door versions is about 6K+. Will have to see how much Sasq is alone as a package.

that $6K plus is mostly engine and transmission cost (Wildcat is V6/auto standard, the Badlands is the 4/manual standard). Upgrading the badlands to Sasquatch won't cost as much as other trims because the badlands already has everything the sasquatch has except the 2 inch lift and 35s. The sasquatch will also need the automatic transmission, but will be a wash across all the trims.
