Dealer said I can come place my order. I just have one question if you guys don't mind helping me.

[MarcusBX]

Possibly. But stock units are supposed to be limited to Big Bend non-Squatch flappy tops.

Im not sure why he called and told me i can place it but im not complaining lol i thought i'd be a while before id be able too.

The Sasquatch package provides the best “ on road” ride. So in a twist, the package is optimal for non off road use as it pertains to street comfort. You pay more,but you get a better looking Bronco plus the better street ride. If you can swing it, get it. It would be a different story if you were ordering one of the higher models.

Perhaps the dealer has allocation to order stock units and maybe what the OP wants falls within those bounds?

Ford pretty much drops the buildable stock specs. in WBDO. Since I don't do any of the ordering, not sure how much they can be changed if at all. If they're going to "order" one, it's technically not stock, it's a new retail order.

They've got a standard BB (2.3,4d, soft), 2 standard BDs (2.7,4d, soft), and one mid OB (2.7, 4d, soft) sitting in my list right now. Again, not sure how much these can be modified before they can or can't be built but I'd like to know if the dealer is just getting a pre order file together or what exactly they're doing. Not saying anything shady is going on but there's something missing.

I would definitely go with the sas. Lift,axles, wider flares, larger spair tire carrier, wheels, tires and the warranty

SAS every time
Mod bumper every time
Switches every time

^ that is all going to save u a ton of money and time later

The anything else you can add later

U may not go offroad but you get snow

 

[Mzekew]

Wait, what? Can go in and order tomorrow? I've been busy but did I miss something that said Ford was opening the bronco order bank for new retail orders?

Have dealers been given any clue when this might happen, or do you have a general expectation? After 11/21?

Didn’t think of the mod bumper. What would be the different between going aftermarket for a bumper and getting the one that you can option with ford ?

So I'm only interested in getting a base 4dr, 2.7 ecoboost engine, hardtop and aux switches. Would come out to 41k msrp, however with the sasquatch package it would be close to 47k. I don't offroad and this will be my daily but would it be worth the money considering it would be covered in warranty and other Pros like the upgraded suspension, Or am i better off going base non SAS and add a lift, bigger tires for the look?

+$6,000 for Sasquatch when you only want bigger tires is not a good value, regardless of future resale.

MOST Bronco and Jeep buyers don’t off road but like the looks/image that comes with the bigger tire look. and they’ll pay for it regardless of what’s underneath the vehicle. It’s vanity over function! To these people Fake Sasquatch has same value as real Sasquatch.

I personally don’t like the Sasquatch look and I don’t like the heavy wheels. I think it’s obnoxious.

I’ll take a base with big bend take off wheels and enjoy my 22 mpg!

Ford was "guessing", due to the backlog of orders, February 2023. But it depends on how many orders sitting in "99" don't get converted to "10"........... so it could very well be January 2023 (or even a little sooner)

Now that I know what the Sasquatch is for it’s good value for me. I’m gonna add bigger tires and a lift so it makes sense on a base for me to get it, the base comes with the 3.73 without the Sasquatch. Wouldn’t be smart for me to put Sasquatch tires and lift on it without the Sasquatch lol big bend without the Sasquatch and mid package is the same price or maybe more then a base with the Sasquatch. So I might as well go base SAS

Interesting how Ford introduced the various Bronco models by saying you could buy a Base for a great price and then build it out however you wanted to. But you can’t. Not realistically, anyway.

It comes with no lockers and crappy gearing, so if you want to “build it” into a useful off-roader you need wheels, tires, coilovers, new gearing, and an air locker for the rear (don’t even know if you can get a front locker yet) at the very least. You’ve already spent way more on parts and labor than Sas costs, and you still wouldn’t have advanced 4x4 and the bigger front axle.

So what is the point of the Base? Looks. That’s all I can think of. So if you just want a cool-looking Bronco, buy a base and throw on some take-off wheels and tires from another Bronco and you’re done. If you want anything more out of it, either add Sasquatch or go for a higher-end model…

Trailer tow is a must also

 

[uncledoodoo]

No reason for Sasquatch if you don’t offroad

No "practical" reason for the Bronco either, other than its a freaking cool vehicle, same reason to get the Sasquatch.

If you want big tires and a lift then yes the base sasquatch is the smartest way to achieve that. Just know that you're paying for sasquatch package, and will be paying with reduced mpg for the rest of your life.

My base 2 door manual with big bend take offs has 1,000 miles on it and it's getting 21.8 mpg, actual. It's been improving every week as I drive it.

The base model, imo, is a good value, and it includes most of the important things like 8" apple car play screen, it's a proper truck based 4x4, A/C, power windows and power door locks. A comparable jeep is around $8,000 more after you add A/C, power windows and door locks.

Higher models get more of your money for less bang, if I can say it that way. Do you need power seats, leather wrapped wheel, leather seats, etc? It's a truck and regardless of the interior it's still going to drive like a truck.

FYI, if you get the base manual trans, the rear diff has 4.46 gear ratio. You can add bigger take off wheels without worry!
