Anyone have an estimate of what the sasquatch package will cost? Hopefully it's less than 5k.
A guy on YouTube did a bunch of deductions based on other trims and believes it will be around $4k-$5k.

The more I contemplate, if they don’t do Sasquatch and manual I may just say screw it and do base 2-door+V6+Sasquatch. If I can’t row my own gears at least I’ll have a ton of power on tap.

That's my plan. All fun. Ready to go day one.

Also, it's the same trans that's in my AT4 and it's as smooth as butter.

I'm assuming it will have a different cost on different trims, but who knows. They are really going to make me buy a Sasquatch V6 instead of a base with the 7 speed aren't they? I don't want to do it, but if the price is right, I'm just going to pull the trigger.

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.
You'll be happy when you are wiring up a bunch of lights and other stuff. They make it super easy.

The base model actually became alot more compelling after these website corrections. FordPass Connect, carplay, and copilot 360 are all standard apparently. Still need to fix the color availability though.....
And FordPass gives you remote start....from anywhere.

i was just thinking of going 2-door+V6, but if the V6+auto is 2K and the squatch is 4K, i might just be able to afford going 2-door+V6+Sasquatch, exact same as you

I’ve been basically daydreaming and trying to figure out what I can realistically do. I’m just in an interesting spot, because I want to rock crawl (like hardcore buggy on sticky tires crawling) with my friends, but it seems like my minimum entry cost to be able to start is $30k. Not to mention I live in a condo and would have to rent a storage spot to keep it and a trailer, plus I have nowhere to work on a crawler since I have a condo. I think I’m just gonna jump on a Bronco 2-door and wheel it as much as possible, and possibly turn it into a crawler in the future. In the meantime it seems just practical enough for a daily and weekend trip car. They just sized it so perfectly.

Only concern I have is sleeping in the back of the 2-door. I don’t know if it will be practical or possible. Not a dealbreaker but I hate tents. Out here I either sleep on a cot with no tent if the weather is nice, or if it’s not nice I’ll sleep in the back of my vehicle.

It looks like they just updated the specs on the website. CarPlay/Android Auto are now listed as standard.

I think the sync 4 supports wireless Apple CarPlay too!

+1 for this. So much cleaner and less fuckery to just have a clean factory setup. Will be the only option I get other than Sasquatch/V6.

Bang for the buck is insane. Compare it to a rubicon and it’s way more powerful and way more capable. Even if the V6 is $3k total, aux switches are $500, and Sasquatch is $4500 that’s gonna be a badass setup for under $40k.

It does. The bottom tier infotainment for bronco is better than the best Wrangler infotainment setup. Ford killed it there.

I'll fully admit that I'm not taking my Bronco rock crawling on a regular basis. I do utilize the outdoors quite a bit, and go "off-road" with my Ranger FX4. I have been totaling up what modifications I want to make to a Base. The longer the list gets, the more I feel like I should just abandon my 7 speed 2.3T dreams pf baseness. My wife's MKX has the 2.7TT and I enjoy it immensely. Gotta see that B&P before really making a decision though.

I got wireless Apple carplay in my current car and will never go back to plugging in a cable! With all these usb ports in the bronco adding a wireless charger is gonna be easy! Maybe even one on the optional dash rail! The base bronco is looking better each day! 2-door 2.7 v6 with Sasquatch!
