2.7 is out because I want the manual.
Sasq is out because I don’t do that much off roading to us it. Also, I can mod it to get close to the look.
12in screen and lux add the everyday creature comforts which I will get a lot of use out of.

For me it depends on what trim you're asking about. If it’s badlands, I’d go v6. Any other trim, and I’d go Sasquatch.

Here’s my reasoning, it is ridiculously easy to add power and torque to that 2.3 (not to mention tunes that let you keep warranty.). That being said, with the 4.7 gears, it should move pretty well even without a tune. (For goodness sake, the 2.3 has output on par with the 5.8 my 96 bronco had, add the deeper axle gears and a 10 speed auto, plus forced induction at altitude and this should be plenty of power). The Sasquatch package adds an iron 210mm front dif (compared to the aluminum 190mm unit that’s standard, same/similar unit to the ranger). It’s a lot harder to upgrade that unit or add front locker than it is to tune the 2.3.
Good points. I'm likely going base 2 door manual transmission model. I don't want the 35" of the Sasquatch, but unfortunately looks like I'll have to deal with the weaker axle and some other lesser components. And I didn't realize until your comment, that the stock front diff has an aluminum housing. I have no IFS experience off-road. What do people think of the strength of the 190mm alum unit?

Once pricing comes out maybe you can afford more than one option, or maybe no options if they're all crazy expensive

I voted 2.7 but if I was not ordering a Badlands, It would be Sasquatch.

Given what we already know (2.7 & Sasquatch being automatic only) I'd have to pick the package with the larger screen.

If we're just daydreaming I'd pick Sasquatch manual for the lockers, or 2.7 & manual if I could get that combo in a base.

I'm going 12" screen ALL DAY! Can't easily upgrade that later.

The 2.3L can be tuned, and you can buy bigger tires and/or a lift later. The 35" tires look cool but I also think a lot of guys are going to be spending $5k+ on the Sasquatch package just for the look of the 35" tires and rarely use it for what it's meant for. Plus I've heard a lot of talk that people who have actually seen it in person say it's almost too much or "too bro truck" according to Gear Patrol.
There's no such thing as too much stance. If the tires don't stick out past the flares, there's not enough stance. I expected more from you being from Texas and all. Shame on you! Lol I'm just kidding. On a serious note though, it's better to have the capability and not need it, than need the capability and not have it. You never know when someone might run you off the road and into a ditch, and if it's muddy.....you don't want to be screwed.

I really had to think about that one for a bit, but decided the V6 is probably what I would pick.

My final answer would be contingent on seeing / touching / driving impressions.

2.7L is what I want, but Only if I can get it with the MT.

If the OP could have had one of the poll responses to have been...

- MT with ANY Engine <----- That would have been what I would have chosen.

So.... I can only hope that FoMoCo will make it available at some point down the road, because the 2.3L with Only Direct Injection Is Not An Option For Me.

V6 because you can possibly still upgrade to almost a Sasquatch with aftermarket.
V6, 4 Door, and Sasquatch are my only 3 basic requirements for me to purchase a 2021 Bronco.

If you were forced to chose between the following:
1. 2.7 V6
2. High package with 12” screen
3. Sasquatch

which would you chose? For arguments sake, have your build ready to go, but can only fit one more “upgrade” in your budget. Which one is it and why?
I’d go with the high package as I wouldn’t get Sasquatch on a Badlands anyway, and the 2.3 can be tuned to have more horsepower than the v6 does stock, plus one less turbo to worry about replacing when it fails, and easier access to the motor overall on the 2.3.

Can you edit the poll to also have the option of "none of the above"?

Realistically i'm not interested in any of those for my real-life Bronco build.

Since my pick is a Wildtrak, i would go for the 12 inch screen since the others are standard on Wildtrak.

In that order.

I have no desire or need for Sasquatch package
