BaseSquatch or Black Diamond?

BD with sasquatch for sure. Really wish mine was a Sasquatch, but I didn't order it, I found it on the a local dealer lot.

2.7 Black Diamond Sasquatch! Good luck changing that Base interior.
Sasquatch makes your Bronco stand out. You only live once.

Black Diamond:

MGV
Rock rails
Steel rear bumper
Tinted windows
Tow hitch capable
Extra Goat modes
Much better steering wheel
Rubber floors
Grille (white letters)
Mid package availability
Extra grab handle


2.7

Auto transmission
Electronic brake assist
One pedal drive
Trail turn assist
30 more HP -90 ft/lbs more torque

what extra " Extra grab handle "

I also think that the ability to upgrade the suspension once the forthcoming oem suspension upgrade becomes available will be a nice (hopefully) affordable upgrade to base and lower trims…
my next build will be as follows
-2 door base velocity blue
-factory suspension upgrade
-manual tranny
-steel front bumper
-upfitter switches
-ARB full skid plates
-fifteen 52 analog hd peak Grey w 33’s either Falken wildpeak at3, grabbers or Toyo at3…

this is suspension upgrade discussed here a few times

Base doesn't have the one on front passenger console side. This is not the deal breaker here, easy to add. It's everything else that I mentioned.

A lot depends on where you live and what you do. Living in the country, dealing with the MN winters, hunting and fishing, the Sasquatch package is an absolute bargain in the Base, a no brainer. There is no budget way to recreate the Sas package: shocks, lift, spacers, wheel and tires, flares and you still haven't addressed gearing, axles/housing, advanced 4wd, front/rear lockers.
I really wanted the washout floors and seats, but like you, it was an either-or choice, and it wasn't a difficult one.

I homed in on BD right away, and spent 18 months stuck in this dilemma. I need a seven pin towing harness, so Black Diamond won out when I ordered. To get real Regional, I'm gonna quote an ad for Sonic Drive Thru "So it's a waiting game . . . then"

basequatch all the way… 4.7 gears, front locker, suspension, wheels and tires. Although I would like MGV and washout floors, it’s not worth the extra $7kish to me.

Sasquatch is a current constraint. But if that's what you really want don't compromise.

There is a possibility that Armorlite may eventually make their washout flooring for the Bronco like they do for the Wrangler and Gladiator. And the same with PRP and their MGV seat covers.

ouch worst one is 2 door....yikes

This is incorrect. The Trail Turn Assist is a function of the 10spAuto not restricted to the 2.7L. Manual owners will not have TTA. 2.3 or 2.7 Automatic transmissions will have TTA.

Okay, as I shared in another thread here, my beloved 2021 4-door AMB Black Diamond non-Squatch is likely totaled, though not yet confirmed. Once that's settled, I'll be ordering another Bronco ASAP. I was determined to order the exact same build (but another color unfortunately), as I love everything about it. Of course, as you all know, any period of wait allows for wondering.

I started wondering if maybe I should switch, for about the same price, to a 4-door BaseSquatch. Just not sure. I didn't even think I liked the look of a Squatch, and I really love the rubber floors and MGV of the BD--best interior I've ever had.

Anyway, any insights or opinions comparing these two would be of interest. If Squatch would add any delay to production, definitely not going that route.

Thanks.

I struggled with this same scenario. Nearly changed my build to base squatch just before I got my BD VIN.
Picked up my BD yesterday and I love it.

I was gonna ask you on the other thread if you were gonna custom paint your next one AMB?
