Black Diamond Bronco Thread

Yup, well based on the Survey price anyhow.

I'm actually more confused now because I thought it wasn't an option on BD.

Looks like the same configs I’m considering. Thanks for the summary!

The only difference is that if you can get the same gray top with BB than that’s $700 instead of the modular $1900 unless that’s what u want. I don’t really care about the windows coming of so they can keep that pricey top

How did you finagle that spreadsheet to take out the $1,300 from invoice?

@North7 did the first sheet (2/4 door, MSRP/Laura Ford/x plan/Granger x plan). The second sheet I have been using, can't recall who made that but they also put out a Google docs version (where you put the"x" in the column to carry the process to the right set of columns). That is the one where I'm trying to figure out how to do the Granger invoice adjustment.

sent you a PM. It’s a long message and didn’t want to clutter the board.

Do we know yet what width tires the stock rims can support? I'm thinking the stock 265mm wide 32s on the alloy rims for my summers and then picking up the stock steelies for winters, but need to make sure that I can go wider on the summers (285?) and a suitable width for the winters. That would be 245mm max for those who are not familiar with the pizza cutter theory of winter tiring. Does anybody have any insight on the rim width?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for but the specs sheet lists the tires/wheels sizes, etc.

Let FORD know your displeasure with the Grabbers. We have a year to get it right.

How exactly do I let Ford know?

Apparently the answer is social media, which I find comical but we shall see.

I don't get the hate for the Grabbers. The AT/x is a good performing AT tire, being P rated is a bigger problem than the brand/model. They weren't going to give us something like KO2s or Duractracs on the mid-grade model.

p rated might help them to meet emissions goals. E's do make a difference.

Yeah, there was a zero percent chance they were putting E rated tires on anything. The KO2s and Goodyear-Goodyears will both be C rated tires.

Specs have said 17x7.5 since reveal. I doubt they change for production models.

Sounds like you would be happy with 255/75/17 or even 255/80/17 for winter use.

Guy at work just did a 2" lift and added 35's to his new jeep.

Was not even considering the sasquatch option but damn his ride looks sweet with the lift and the 35's.

I am now considering adding the sasquatch to the BD with 2.7,Auto,Mid Package, Modular Front Bumper,Brush guard.Still within budget

It changes the whole look significantly. The stance is amazing with just a little change. I was surprised too when I got my jeep raised just 2" and added 37s. Even with 33s or 35s its still great-looking.

"Budget" 4 Door Badlands-Sasquatch Configuration - Using Survey Pricing


Four Door Badlands - $44590
Destination Charge - $1495
Standard Package - $0
Sasquatch - $2500
2.3 EcoBoost with Auto Tranmission - $1600
Grey Hardtop - $700

Total: $50885

I would love your feedback regarding my potential 4dr Badlands Sasquatch configuration. My desires are:

Keep price down
Bad ass big tire look (high ground clearance good!)
Good highway vehicle. Yes, Bronco are not built for highways, but some will be better than others

What I don't care about are large screens, other electronics and technology, heated seats and steering wheel, auto dimming mirrors, high beam assist, any other types of assistance, leather doo dads, remote start, floor lighting, etc, etc and on and on

With that said, am I better off getting a black diamond - sasquatch four door?

Thanks for your help!

By my spreadsheet, a similar equipped sas+bd is about $2700 less. How much is the sway bar and nicer wheels worth to you? The draw to Badlands IMO is the sway bar and / or available upper trim levels.

I get $4,000 less for the BD based on that config...and they would have the same wheels if both are Squatched.

I live in NorCal and there are several trails in the sierras. So the sway bar may be necessary. I plan to do the Rubicon once my Bronco is older.
