Base Model Bronco Thread

[BroncoJay]

I'm hoping the Sasquatch package is $4k or less. If it is im going Base in Antimatter Blue 2.3 with manual transmission and Auxiliary switches.

If not I have no idea. I wish Ford would just release the Dam pricing already so I know what the hell im doing. ?

Thats assuming that Ford is listening and will let us get the Sasquatch and Manual Transmission.

Am I dreaming this or did I read somewhere the Sasquatch package makes u go up to 2.7 auto, so you wouldn’t be able to get the 2.3 and squatch?
I could be wrong though

True. No Sasquatch with Manual, but you should be able to get it with a 2.3 Auto. It’s a travesty.

For now you can't get it with the manual but you can get Sasquatch with the 2.3 engine.

I reserved 4 door Badlands, planning on 2.3 MT But I’m thinking it’s gonna be $50k and not sure I can justify that.... Then I was thinking going with Black Diamond to get the rear locker, vinyl seats and washout floors.

Now I’m seriously thinking of getting base and building it. Still up in the air until we see pricing. My concerns with the base are lack of lockers and cloth seats. Otherwise, I will do some sort of lift for 35” tires/wheels. I’m thinking 4.46 gears with the Manual should be good.

anyone experienced with 4x4s have a general idea on what lockers may cost? my Off-roading is limited to dirt trails But mostly sandy beaches.

If you go Base just get the Sasquatch package. Then you get both front and rear Lockers. Whatever the price of that package ends up being i will bet the aftermarket plus labor will be more expensive and not under warranty. Your better off building it from the factory.

Ford may change that. They hinted that they are listening. So who knows. For me if Base doesn't workout im probably going Black Diamond. At least with that ill get a rear locker and a lot of gear right from the factory. Who knows though. They need to release the dam pricing.

I'm probably down with that route as well. Pending the cost of the Sasquatch option. One possible fly in the ointment, would be if Ford only allows certain colors on the base models. Hope that is not the case. Has anyone seen mention of color options?

Yes, they are restricting colors on the Base model. No Cyber orange or Cactus grey. Lack of color options will probably push me into a Black Diamond.

Will the stock 3.73 gearing handle 17 inch steel wheels with 32s from a black diamond fine? I'm thinking there will be a lot of take offs available.

...or Area 51

Thats what they want you to do. ? Its a trap. Fortunately for me I love the Antimatter.

Chalk me in for a Base Bronco. Looking to replace our daily driver Nissan with it, hopefully should be a great replacement.
2.7 Engine
Hard Top
Roof rack

All we need. Anybody know if features like blind spot warning will be stand alone or is that only in Mid package?

 

[toystwo]

Exactly.. take for exame the OBx vs Wildtrack. For the $10k you get...

2.7 L w auto, Sasquatch, Modular Hard top, Mid Package, and some more extras.... all for 10k

OB has automatic and Mid pkg standard.

That is why I keep this info ..............

and more important ......

............... very handy when I read posts in here. To make sure I understand. Many times I don't try to correct someone because it will start an argument. Not you just generally speaking. When I read something I haven't heard of, or thought it was a different way, I just check here and go with this info.


final note .... at least until we get a Build and Price guide !!!

Leaning toward basesquatch 4 door 2.7 at this point. But what I think I really want is the nonexistent baselandsquatch - a base with the Sasquatch but substituting the 33s and gearing from the badlands. Would go for the badlands but too expensive - especially with 4 door and 2.7.

Are there any images of the Base interior Cloth seats?
couldn't find anything
