Calling All 2022 Manual Sasquatch Owners

[StarPony]

Oh man...what color? I'm 4-door Softie, Carb Gray

Area 51 - I have a thing for outer space themed stuff, as well as blue hues.
Carbonized Grey was definitely a contender!!!

Crazy... I've been lurking for a while now, and since the MY22 option for mansquatch became available, have been looking for others with a similar build - many close, with high packages, or non-SAS, MIC, or different model. "My dealer said" I had a rare build. Yours is the closest yet! Maybe others are lurking, too...

We must have built the same Excel spreadsheet to make the decision. After going through it, I came to the exact same conclusion - Basesquatch or non-SAS BL. No brainer.

Thought about the Basemansquatch... but once MY22 pricing became available, I found the sneaky-ass way they stole back the 7MT price advantage.

I compared my 22 reorder to my original 21 order. I was pissed because I thought they increased the SAS price on me from $4995 to $6590... while my "price protection" only covered the $800 bump from $28500 to $29300.

Turns out the "increase" in the SAS price was Ford moving the trans price from being included in the E5C price (2dr ADV 4x4) to being included with the SAS price... so the price for an auto Basesquatch actually stayed exactly the same.

For MY21 2dr Basesquatch
E5C (incl ADV 4X4 [$795] + auto [$1595]) + SAS pkg [$4995] = $7385.

MY22 auto: E5C (incl only ADV 4X4 [$795]) + $6590 SAS pkg (which is the original $4995 SAS plus the $1595 trans charge) = $7385.

Since you pay the extra $1595 for SAS whether you get the manual or auto trans... you end up paying the upcharge for the auto transmission just to get the 7MT in the SAS. Well-hidden (especially since it's mixed in with the $800 price increase in Base 2dr for 2022), but it's there. Hard pass on that bs.

BTW... since I was paying for the auto no matter what, I upgraded to the 2.7, too - and ended up with legit Wildtrak running gear (without a ~$10k surcharge for a bunch of WT stuff I don't need)... after a FORSCAN update, I'll have the missing GOAT modes as well.

Probably confusing and hard to follow what I'm saying... but pretty sure that's exactly Ford's plan was.

So you still chose sas instead of BL?

What do you think of the MT?

I got to test drive a 2dr Badlands (2.3L, non-SAS, manual trans) today - it was awesome!

I recently test drove a manual trans '21 mustang gt and absolutely hated how it felt/drove. I'm glad the Bronco didn't disappoint - now I just have to wait for mine to get built...

So you still chose sas instead of BL?

Definitely. The sas package on the base is the best bang for the buck out there. After I ran the numbers on what I needed vs what I wanted, I decided the only reason to go BL would be to get a higher option package with the 12" (those cameras are bad ass)... and of course the MGV interior / sta bar disconnect. In the end, I went with the best capability for the money.

I ordered a 4 door badlands manual Sasquatch lux and leather pkg. in Area 51. I got to drive my moms non SAS manual badlands on and off road before making up my mind.

 

[Bad Andy]

I don’t have a build week yet, but I will be getting a 2 door, Badlands, Sasquatch, 7MT, Lux, tow. Hopefully by summer.

 

[Simple Man]

Waiting on a build date, VIN for a 2D Base Man Squatch, decided to switch from 2D Black Diamond MT to SAS shortly after Nevada Off-Rodeo in November '21.

Initial January '21 reservation for a 2D Base MT, ordered on 2/23/21
Changed to a 2D Black Diamond MT in October '21 when pushed out to MY22

This is my original order. Like others have said, it’s going to be rare. Got a chance at the Raptor so I have to wait for the B&P to see the cost with the options I want

 

[Baconator]

I have had mine for a little over a week! Details in my signature.
