Yep, but let's give Ford some feedback and see if we can get that changed......

1) 2-door
2) Manual
3) Don’t care about motor at all. Whichever has the least likelihood of being a POS reliability headache. I’ll have to research.
4) Front+ rear locky bois
5) Shorter ratio transfer case
6) Vinyl/rubberized interior
7) The switches so I can have a clean looking factory solution for a little aux lighting.
8) Probably 32-33” tires that are reasonably capable but practical day-to-day. BFG K02s should be fine.
9) I actually love the plain Jane 16” steelies pictured as the Base model’s wheels.
10) Don’t care the slightest about interior creature comforts. If I have heat/AC and way to charge and pair my phone, I’m good.

Isn't the only way to get 285/70-17 (33") is to go with the Badlands? Bonus is, you also get front and rear lockers and the sway bar disconnect.
For me unfortunately that looks like the only way. The Badlands is a downgrade to me, as I don't want a rock crawling suspension or sway bar disconnects, Also the lack of a sport mode is a downgrade for me.

I want a more sporty high speed bronco which is why I like the Wildtrak with both sport and Baja modes, but what I want is unattainable

Hopefully the Sasquatch listed as standard equipment on the Wildtrak is a mistake, and it can be ordered with 33's and 4.46:1 gears. Then I can get a set of 33x12.5x17 tires with 17x10 wheels which will be 1.5 inch wider than the 33's on the Badlands

would have liked a dark Metalic green like I had on my 1976 but it's isn't available so either of the blues

i reserved a badlands but now thinking the 32 inch tires of the outer banks and just adding the bigger engine, rear locking diff (no Sasquatch) and steel bumpers may make more sense for now. Can always upgrade later, right? :)

I also considered the wildtrak but didn’t really want the 35 inch tires.

2 door Base with 2.7 auto, and Sas. Cactus Grey. Would love a white roof. Older here so shifting is old. Does anyone have a clue on how much the Sasquatch option might be? If the 35" wheels and tires are to much, I will buy smaller, later. I just want the locking front and rear diff's. I had a Jeep Patriot Trail rated, was okay but it didn't have lockers. So two electric winches were a must. I wish Ford would make the base with the washable floor an option, and the tuff marine vinyl seats, too. I hate carpet. They just worthless mud lovers.

When they first revealed I was all about the Black Diamond with the Sasquatch. But the more I thought about it I don't need the off-road bits that come on both. I still want the rubberized floor. So I'm hoping they make it available across the board by production. Or maybe the next model year.
