Can't have the the back seats in my 2 door base! Wonder if Ford will remove the back seats and "accessorize" that space to make it more functional?

Not much besides what is on the Ford site. I'm wondering how the standard H.O.S.S. suspension compares to the Ranger FX4 suspension. Im thinking it will be the same or better since there doesn't seem to be FX4 for the Bronco and Sasquatch seems above and beyond FX4I haven’t been able to find much information on the base 4x4. Does anyone have more technical details on it beyond the marketing babble?
I mean it’s a traditional 4x4, iirc 3.73 gears, open axles front and rear, 2 speed transfer case. Add 33”s and a rear locker and your good to go.I haven’t been able to find much information on the base 4x4. Does anyone have more technical details on it beyond the marketing babble?
my guess is 6-7 for the sasquach in the base and 5-6 in the other models. Taking into account that some of the other models have lockers and upgraded tires already and ford takes this into consideration with pricing the package.My guess is more than 5k... But we will see. If it's less than 35k for a base bronco with 35 inch tires and lockers than that will be an incredible deal and Jeep will have to rethink everything.
I have no idea how depreciation will be for the base model, but the Wrangler does not depreciate as much as I expected when I looked it up. Try finding a no accident Wrangler with under 40K miles for under $20K, regardless of features... it is very hard.Just wanted to throw out there that I am beyond excited for a <$30K exciting, well-styled and equipped, yet barebones vehicle that comes standard with a manual transmission.
I have never bought a new car because I hate eating instant depreciation, but some poor financial decisions may be coming for me. Ford nailed it guys.
NickP please verify... I thought I saw somewhere Sasq is not available on Base model with manual, only with the 10-speed auto tranny. Thanks. Where in AZ are you, I road trip to AZ to see my parents couple times a year...Who is actually putting their money where their mouth is and getting a base model? Count me in! 2-door, base, 7 speed, and sasquatch of course. Going for cactus grey, I am in AZ after all! I will add aux switches if available. Nothing else I really need, I'll go aftermarket!
I might consider waiting until 2022 or 2023 and buying a base with like 20K miles on it but I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait that long.... it has only been 2 weeks and I already can’t wait to test drive one.I have no idea how depreciation will be for the base model, but the Wrangler does not depreciate as much as I expected when I looked it up.

That’s my plan with the base but if the squatch is that expensive I will probably opt to the black diamondI'm in for a base 2 door with the squatch package. It's too bad Ford is holding back on the options cost, it's as if to lead everyone on. Drip drip. Ford knows damn well what these packages and options will cost right now. If the squatch package turns out to be 7K, I'll likely walk and buy something else.
That would be a big mistake on their part. They are already pricing people out that don't have unlimited disposable income. I'd likely walk away too.If the squatch package turns out to be 7K, I'll likely walk and buy something else.
I think an actual base model will be a unicorn after preorders are built. Not enough profit for Ford or dealers.I might consider waiting until 2022 or 2023 and buying a base with like 20K miles on it but I don’t know if I’ll be able to wait that long.... it has only been 2 weeks and I already can’t wait to test drive one.
