As far as tires.... my opinion is that the wide 35’s on Sasquatch will be worse than skinnier tires that come on the bronco trims. Wider is not always better in snow. Mud yes but snow no

The shorter wheelbase 2 door will be worse than a 4 door in the snow/ice. The longer the wheelbase, the easier it is to control in a slide (intentional or accidental). Snow tires and common sense driving with slower driver inputs and it’ll get you where you need to go.

I am hoping to run one set of tires. I am going to give these Toyo Open Country A/T III ago.

First and foremost when it comes to winter driving is the driver mod. If you don't know what your doing it doesn't matter what vehicle you're in.
I drove my mustangs year round and never once added snow tires or weight in the back. Got around just fine on the factory all seasons mostly because I knew what I was foing and knew what the limits of the vehicle were. Never got stuck once in the 8 years I had mustangs, but also knew if there was a certain amount of snow I wasn't going anywhere lol.

This has started to become a consideration of mine recently while contemplating my build (2 door manual badlands) - I might be able to land a 2021 MY if I don’t go squatch. Benefit with getting the 33’s though is more tire options especially winter tires.
at least that’s what my general research has shown me. anything that might help me feel better about having to wait until a 2022 model year, while I contemplate the dilemma of man squatch no man squatch

You don’t get snow until December?! Damn we’ve had snow since September lol
BaseBase will be just fine in snow. I live in a remote mountain village in Montana and I am getting a BaseBase too.
Like most have said, getting dedicated winter tires is best, but it sounds like that is not an option for you. That’s ok, if you had to choose any trim Bronco to use in the snow with no tire swap, the 255/70/16 all-season tires on the Base are probably the best way to go out of all the Bronco trims.

My parents live up a hill, and anything short of 4hi, awd or good tires is gonna get stuck
My old 'stang had Michelin AS3+ and while there came a time the limits were apparent, still did fine.
Get snow tires and call it a day.

Hahaha not really. Depends on area I guess but Colorado is actually quite nice during the winter and hot as hell in summer.
Any AWD or 4x4 with snow tires is an absolute winter beast.
Hell, even FWD with snow tires is a quality winter road machine.
The Bronco Base with proper winter tires will be no different.

Great point on the "3 Peak" rubber stamp.
That 3 peak rating literally means NOTHING on icy roads. I see 4x4's in the ditch all winter with off-road 3 peak stamps.
True winter tires are the only correct answer for serious winter drivers.
