BD w/ Sasquatch or BL without

[mdonathan56]

Totally with you on the interior coloring. I much prefer the blue than the orange.

I think if the 12” screen and front sensors can be done aftermarket, I’ll likely go BD with Sasquatch.

The Orange stitching cries out for the Cyber Orange paint. The BD blue accents are so much better especially with this.

I spent the better half of the morning building just about all of them. I keep going back to my original the BL, it checks all the boxes and then some. I don't want a MT so by adding the 2.7L you get the 10 speed tranny for $300.00. Plus I have all the tech and sensors on my Lariat Ranger and want them on the Bronco too.

Second would be the BD but I don't like that you can't get the High package. But by adding the Mid package you get the 10 speed for $0 so this is still high on my list too. I going to get a MY22 so I'll still have time to drive myself crazy deciding. ?

I hear ya! I’m likely a 22 MY as well. I think ultimately I end up with a BL just to not drive myself crazy with the things I didn’t get.

The blue interior isn’t my favorite but I’ll take it all day over the orange.
What a strange decision to tie interior stitching to trim; just bizarre.

Badlands is 98% Sasquatch anyways, tires and rims for $2500 .... not a bad deal, but not really needed either..... for 98% of buyers.
None of my Badlands builds have Squatch.
I don't like the game they're playing, so I may just go BaseManSquatch.... save the coin, buy a Superduty in a few years.
You can get a NICE crew XL under 50.

Im not impressed what 48 to 50k gets me in a Bronco. Oddly enough, 36k BaseManSquatch is a bargain considering all the hardware you get.

This is why I stil havel the BD on my list. It will save me almost $8K over the BL and I'll still have some tech and upgrades. I have my loaded Lariat Ranger for my DD if I decide to keep that too. If not then the BL will move up on the list. Even with that I'll probably never need all the features but it's nice to have them just in case.

Is there any huge difference in driving capability in snow between BD and BL? Won’t be off-roading but definitely will be using it in the snow and that’s my primary reason for buying it.

I'd highly doubt it. I use to live in MA and went up north to ME and Canada snowmobiling a lot with a basic 4x4 truck with zero problems. With the terrain management system on these they will be more than capable of handling the snow. One huge reason I moved to the desert was to get away from that stuff.

Early on, I was all about the Black Diamond value.
For me, everything gets the Squatch, (except Badlands of course). Squatch is too much of a good value to pass up.
So, if I Squatch anything above the Base, I may as well as get the un-Squatched Badlands.... value-wise.
So I have to choose between 36-38k BaseSquatch or 46-48k Badlands.
I feel ok with the BaseManSquatch....except the lack of heated seats.....not worth 10k though.

One Thing I don’t get. Why don’t automakers do light gray interiors? EVERYONE wants that. We CONSTANTLY ask for it. Yet it never happens. I don’t get life sometimes.

That's why I spent all morning pricing them all out. For me I don't want the Squatch and like you said the BL is very close to having it. The only other one that comes close to checking the boxes for me is the BD. There are a few things I'd like but they're not necessities unless I sell my Ranger.

If I were you I'd save my money and go with the BaseSquatch. I can find other ways to keep my ass warm with $10K.

Tell me about it. Try living in the desert when it's been 110+ most of the summer with black leather interior! ?

North Carolina is les but also hot. I think a lot of marketing people responsible for Voice of Customer simply suck at their jobs.

Thanks for the input. Seriously. It's good to have somebody confirm your logic.

Getting this ironed out and feeling comfortable with it has my excitement RAMPING up!!!!
It's going to be a long 9 to 12 months!!!!

Does anyone know what kind of a lift is used in the sasquatch package or if 35s will fit without a lift like the Jeep Gladiator? $2500 for slightly bigger tires and different wheels seems a bit pricy when I know I can do it for less if a suspension lift isn't involved.
