Sasquatch is available with 2.3 or 2.7. But is only available with the automatic.
You did. SASQUATCH needs an automatic transmission thats it. You can chose the 2.3 or 2.7. Only thing you can't have with Sasquatch package is the manual transmission.
$500 for the rear locker would be great, but I have a feeling it will be more maybe $700-ish. BD Squatch is $500 less because it already has the locker and I doubt they've discounted the full retail cost of the option.
That's what I thought. What I didn't pay attention to was that the 2.3 also comes in auto tran. Thanks, DonM too.
There is a lot to be said for the capability vs price of that setup you mention. I'm just not convinced yet the 2.3L is a good match for 35" tires, especially if combined with the larger 4-door model, which could also have more passengers and gear. I do realize from what people have said, the 2.3L is no dog. I'm open to the setup you mentioned, but will need to test drive and see how it performs for owners.
Jeeps have been driving around on 35+ tires with the 3.6 for years and competing in some pretty extreme Off-roading.
In the Ford email Package survey they did price the tow package on the Base model. So maybe it might be included as a base option. If not, its was confirmed to be a dealer install option.
My BRZ uses 93 octane fuel, and with Chicago area premium markup one of the highest in the land, not sure I could take another premium fuel vehicle, lol. But I get what you're saying, and I'm not a lead foot driver needing gobs of power with a Bronco.
Trust me when I say buddy that the 2.3 will do just fine. What matters more is the gearing and you're getting 4.7 gears with the Sasquatch Package. I have an Edge Titanium which comes in at around 4095 lbs. That car has the 2.0 Ecoboost and that thing will flat scoot when put to the floor. Those new twin-scroll turbos reduced a lot of the turbo lag in earlier generation Ecoboosts so it won't be such a dog off the line. The 2.3 with the 4.7 gears of the Sasquatch package will do wonderfully.
On the trails, I agree with you. On the road, no way!
It definitely won't be. Especially with the 93 Octane tune and 4.7 gears. With that said this isn't a sports car. Maybe the Mustang is more your speed?
Squatch 35s w/2.3 on the road will be under-powered for me, for others it may be fine. We should all get what we want. Folks almost seem offended that I want the extra power of the 2.7. I've actually decided against 35s in general. Realized that my primary driving will be much better on 32s or 33s (w/2.7 of course!).
