As I wait patiently for B&P and see pics of the preproduction models, I can’t help but wonder and hope Ford offers at least one more tire option.
In my opinion, all non-squatch tires look too small, except for the Badlands 33” BFGs. The squatch 35” look cool but are too big for daily driving.

My wish: the option to put 33” BFG AT on at least Big Bend and Black Diamond.

The price jump from BD to Badlands is too much just to get the 33s.

I realize I could do this aftermarket but it sure would be a whole lot easier for customers to have the option from the factory.

I thought you were gonna talk about how they need a special Sasquatch worthy tire option. 35x14.50-16s for the steel wheel hardcore offroading crowd.

Tires is one thing, but tires and a lift is something altogether different. Not saying it’s not possible, but it’s unlikely.

Sasquatch should offer an AT tire choice.

If the Big Bend offered 33‘s I’d be all over it. Big Bend and a mid package is what I initially was after but after going through the build sheet here the Badlands was cheaper and had way better options.

I agree very unlikely!
There most likely will be 32 AT but not 33

Wait, how was a Badlands cheaper than a Big Bend? Badlands is $5-7k more than Black Diamond. Did you load the BB with every option and keep BL minimal?

By the time you add squatch, 2.7, auto trans, mid, hitch, roof rack etc., the price was $45k. BL starts at $42k with all the options I want standard without squatch though.

I mean it’s all speculation since we don’t have B&P and I’m sure I will build several models several times like the rest of us. I’m hoping to stay south of $45k

Short answer is Yes

Gotcha. Yeah, the squatch is what jacks the price if 5k is the number. I just want to be able to put 33” BFG AT on either BB or BD without squatch.

But you still have to add the hardtop to BL to get close to apples to apples comparison.
