What is different about the 4DR non-squatch rack???

:unsure: only thing I can thing that is different would be the FAD with those models not being the advance transfer case. Would this be why?? Next question is why would the FAD interfere with the rack programming ???? Why are all 2drs covered then???? Wouldn't a non-squatch 2DR have the standard transfer case with a front axle disconnect???? I thought I understood how the Broncs were optioned.
That said, letā€™s not waste any more time detracting from the initial find. Being a 4 door non-SAS Badlands owner Iā€™m also curious why itā€™s excluded.
I don't know, but $20 says it's a programming limitation.

They say on the Ford Performance website that the ProCal 4 needs to be connected before the old rack is removed. That implies the that they are pulling the firmware or some sort of configuration off of the old steering rack before the new rack is installed. So I would assume there is something in the 4-door non-Sas programming that is not compatible with this steering rack.

BUT, we'll see once the instructions appear on the Ford Performance website. I suspect it may be possible to "steal" the configuration off of a Sasquatch Bronco with ProCal and use that to install the rack on a non-Sasquatch Bronco. But either way, I'll probably order this and see what happens once my piggy bank recovers from the last round of upgrades I installed.

To go down the rabbit hole further regarding non Sasquatch optioned Broncos, the OBX with the rear locker included the 4A transfer case for MY'21-'23. The same model years on the Black Diamond, the 4A transfer case was optional without optioning the Sasquatch package. No idea how 2-dr/4-dr factor into the calculus other than 2-dr rules and moar door drools . šŸ˜œ

The Pro-Cal 4 listed in the details certainly catches my eye, as I have no desire to run a tune that requires premium, but I'd like to correct my speedo and/or gearing as needed.
strictly speaking, ProCal Tune doesn't require premium,
you just don't get all the benefits without using premium

Am I misunderstanding? Pic from my 4 door non-SAS Badlands. It has the advanced 4A transfer case.

Following this

Exclusions: 2021-2023 Bronco 4Dr Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Black Diamond, Badlands that do NOT have the factory Sasquatch Package.

Surprised it's even excluding the non-SAS Badlands packages.

I knew they did some weird shit in "building" a Bronc.

Just like the BD 4A being optional W/O Squatch, so no front locker, and yet a non-sas Badlands, with a front locker and 4A, like @nolimits is on the list. :unsure: Because it's a 4DR. šŸ¤Ŗ

2DR finally gets one up on the 4DRs :LOL: ...or maybe because they are BADASS AND PURPOSE BUILT. šŸ˜

Your not misunderstanding. I'm trying to understand. Like I said in my post above. I would think if you can do a 4DR WT, has 4A and front locker, a BL that has a 4A and squatch or not, has a front locker, they should be the same, no FAD.

It is a very strange exemption list. Or the Ford employee that typed the list got it wrong. Some state just posted the wrong lottery numbers and then had to tell the guy sorry, YOU LOOSE. :ROFLMAO:

Was anyone able to order one today? They are currently not in stock, it seems. Curious if they were earlier in the day.

Not really. Itā€™s normal retail price. You can get a 3.0 rack from many places for a lot less.
