cant decide: sasquatch vs non-squatch bronc

[_2020_]

Are you sure? I think 4.7 only comes with Sasquatch.

It comes with Manual transmission on non Squatched BL too!

can't decide on a sasquatch base, or a badlands, im don't really care about amenities, just looks. But I know for sure I don't need 35-inch tires, especially if all ima do is freeway driving as a daily, 5 days a week to work and back.
base on the left is 41180
badlands on the right is 46780
is it worth the somewhat better mpg, nicer interior, and pretty headlights to spend 5.5k more

For me, I DON"T need 35". Sure they look nice; but not at the cost of $2500 and worse fuel mileage. For my needs 33" A/T will do just fine. I think the extra $ of the BL will give you more features, better more modern lights. And even a better resale value. What sounds more appealing FS 2021 Ford Bronco Base or a Ford Bronco Badlands? Plus I'd rather have the MGV over the cloth interior. $5500 well spend IMO. And more color options. And I already plan on getting a 2-3" lift on it. So I can lift it how I want and not stuck with what the sasquatch has w/o spending more on the aftermarket to get it done.

I was stuck with the same decision and realized that if I am thinking about the Sasquatch and would like to have it I might as well go base w/ Sasquatch and get it cause once I get my bronco I will most likely regret not getting it and it will cost more to add Sasquatch after the fact. I don't think the mpg will be a huge difference with the 10 speed. I plan on keeping the 35" till they need to be replaced and might go down to 33". I like the fact that I can always go back to 35" if I want. If you go the badlands route and want 35" you will have to pay to fit those. I would rather just save that $4-5K.

One of the things I'm worried about is doing the same thing and going down to 33s make it look goofy with the bigger flares and higher stance.

What downsides would come with getting 4.7 gearing without Sasquatch, and running 33's?

The tire size adjustments can be made through an app.

The higher stance will look just like Badlands right? Gonna look awesome. And flares should be a cheap replacement

Wow super informative! What about speedometer changes going from 35 down to 33? Nothing needed?

Many have addressed this in other threads, they believe it can be done in the programming. No big deal though, it's a 6% error (your speedo would read 75 mph at an actual speed of 71 mph), you'll never get a speeding ticket!

It comes with Manual transmission on non Squatched BL too!

I believe the 4.7 gears come on Badlands only with Manual transmission OR Sasquatch. I just did a B&P and verified. Auto non squatch is 4.46. Also this:

cant confirm I’ll change my mind, but I’m definitely leading the bandwagon for non Sasquatch badlands. The 4.46 gears on the stock 33inch tires will be great with all the badlands features. I love the look of Sasquatch, but the stock KO2 33’s or the optional 33 inch mud tires will be awesome on this vehicle. See attached image for real world example

You could always get more aggressive looking 33" and the best part is you can always go back to 35". I don't see the higher stance as a huge deal because when Ford was bragging about the height that included the Sasquatch package so it most likely will look fine with 33"s. I can see the flares and being ugly, but it seems the flares can be easily removed and I am sure aftermarket will have some awesome looking replacements.

According to B&P, incorrect. You can do a B&P for (at least) a 4-door Badlands, 2.7 Auto, non-Squatch and select the 4.7 gearing.

Just looked again and don’t see it offered.

My B&P let's me option 4.7 on Badlands without getting Sas

In the B &P, 4.7 is also offered on the Badlands auto / Non-Sas.

 

[Musicalfisherman]

I don’t know how you did that but that was bad ass. Is there a benefit to having the 4.7 with 33s if you don’t plan on ever getting 35s?

That I’m not sure if there’s a benefit with 33s and the 4.7. I just want that gearing in case I decide to add bigger tires later on

yup, I just did it too. Badlands both engines, 2 or 4 door, with auto transmission let’s you choose the 4.7 gears but I noticed it doesn’t charge for it ? $0 ?

At the same time Its also telling me I can’t do it. I think this is a B&P bug. Don’t know what the real availability is.

Don't tell Ford I'll take it for $0 lol
