I know that there has been a great deal of discussion because Ford has not been clear on the differences between the stock Badlands suspension and the Sasquatch suspension.

My question is does the stock Badlands have the position sensitive Bilstein shock absorbers?

I ask because I was reviewing the MY21 order guide and found the comment "Note: Position-sensitive Bilstein Shock Absorbers"
listed under the details for the Sasquatch option for the Badlands.

Thank you for the clarification. I thought that it did but the document was a little confusing. Sigh of relief. Watching the KOH vids really made me see how useful it would at speed on rougher roads. Here in KS that would equate to gravel country roads.

When I was chatting with customer service on build and price both reps said biltein only shows up on the Sasquatch package even with badlands. I can’t find anyone to confirm that badlands has the bilsteins stock without Sasquatch

Did someone remove them? It seems clear they are on the Badlands.

This same flyer states the HOSS suspension is standard on BL, WT & FE

Right, scroll down and it shows them on the BL there too. Maybe I am missing the questions? All models get HOSS, BL and up + SQ gets Bilstein position sensitive dampers. Again, I must be missing something.

Guessing the OP's order sheet doesn't state that this is standard on BL...the note he references the squatch package which specifically notes this item. Just confused I believe and looking for validation.

Sorry for the confusion! This was what was answered when I asked a customer rep thru chat on the build and price site. 2 different reps said bilstein was only available on Sasquatch according to their ordering information. I’m assuming it’s just misinformed customer service since the comparison chart clearly shows the bilsteins on the badlands

Thank you everyone for the clarification. I have been on B6G for some time but occasionally the information that big blue puts out lacks precision and is confusing
