Guess I'm one of the few... the 2.3 will do fine, will not struggle but will work harder than the 2.7... however Sasquatch gets you so many thinks that would cost a ton afterwards that if I had to choose (luckily I don't) I would pick the squatch over the larger engine.
This will be my DD and off-roading will only be something that I do occasionally. The 2.7L would be something that benefits me everyday, whereas the Sasquatch package is something that I would only be beneficial on rare occasions. And you can certainly get by off-roading just fine with the smaller tires.
