Base Model Bronco Thread

They also add map lights with the switches. Far more useful than a safe space to hang up sunglasses for me...

The map lights are standard, even with the glasses holder.

Unfortunately not. For E5C, automatic is required. Which then means that sasquatch is mandatory.

Dammit! A footnote at the E5C code would have been helpful instead of burying it elsewhere.

And we're still not giving up much to the Big Bend, other than the ability to order locking rear and 4.27 gears, mid package, and some colors.
Still not seeing the justification for the $5000 upcharge for the Big Bend:

I get you, but I actually like the BB wheels, tint and other niceties, A51 and the availability of the 4.27 locker is very important to me. So I figure I'm getting $4000 value for $5500, now I need to decide if giving $1500 for nothing is worth it.

Also, in the axle availability chart for BB, if I get 4.27 locker it eliminates Front Axle Disconnect which by itself is 6 of one half dozen of the other but might imply Advanced 4x4 (as all other models with Adv 4x4 are listed w/o FAD)

Now that we can place our orders, I still have no idea what I'm going to order.

Three possible builds (all are 4 doors and auto):

#1 - Base Base with Aux Switches, Floor Liners and 2.7

#2 - Base Squatch with Aux Switches, Floor Liners and 2.7

#3 - Big Bend with 2.3, Mid Package, Aux Switches, Floor Liners, Tow Packages, LED and 4.27 Locker.

2.7 on the Base is either to make up for the 3.73 or the 35's. 2.3 on the Big Bend because the gearing upgrade should make up for the torque.

I'm pretty simple on vehicles and the Base has everything that I'm looking for in a new ride. Coming from a 2006 F150 any upgrades would be fantastic.

Has anybody placed an order yet who can confirm what the invoice pricing is for a basesquatch?

See post #2,051....went 2.3 with Sasquatch. Went for weight and money savings. If not enough, I'll just get a tune.

Hopefully I'll have this answer for post #2,051 sometime on Wednesday. Just emailed my order in as I am out of town, and the sales manager said an email is as good as anything.

BTW.....B&P has apparently just added an "Acquisition Fee" of $645?

Totally makes sense. That will still be one hell of an automobile

Only on Lease!

Will the key fob on the Base also unlock the rear gate or just the doors?

If it is like my Escape, one click unlocks drivers door, 2 clicks unlocks the rest including the rear gate.

Any idea why you cant add receiver hitch on BaseSquatch- really just want it for bike / snowboard racks. Is it easy to add after market? Seems unnecessary to upgrade to another trim level for that.

If I go base, I'm in the same boat. I searched threads and the hitch appears to be a 4 bolt application....unless you want to wire it, then it's a bit more complicated.
