If you had to pick, Sasquatch or 2.7?

[Imissmy1996bronco]

what is the difference between the two front ends.?

The m210 is an iron unit with a 210mm ring gear, while the m190 is aluminum with a 190mm ring gear. The former is going to be significantly stronger, especially with a locker.

here’s the Dana document

It's the SQUATCH for me !!! Short version .... Fun Haven Ranger shows more than enough power 2.3/ auto. Therefore having the suspension spec"ed out like this makes it a no-brainer for me. If you would need more umph, becasue of the auto, you could go up in gearing ....... 5'38's ???? Plus already having the auto makes the Bronczilla one step closer.

I'm still torn between the Badlands, 33's, 7MT or Base, Auto, Squatch thing. When I get to the trail I can "disconnect" my sway bar myself. So I guess we will see when we get some solid pricing.

I reserved a 2 door badlands and I'm considering leaving it there with no engine upgrade, keeping the manual transmission that way and running the 33s on it and then deciding later if I want to put 35s on it. I know that 2.3 is rated pretty well, but I still feel like 33s might be the sweet spot for me with that motor, especially since I don't do a lot of technical off-roading. Mostly just driving around my family farm, or up fire roads, etc.

I am sorely tempted by the V6 and Sasquatch, but will have to see pricing first I guess. If I HAD to pick one, I'd pick the 2.7 upgrade just because I know it would be relatively easy to upgrade suspension and tires later.

2.7 Hands down. Anything that the Sasquatch offers you can add easily, if not better, whereas a engine overhaul would be a PITA

Would go with the engine. Bigger tires/lift/lockers all able to be added years later if you want. Much more money to swap an engine later.
If the long term goal is to eventually have both.

Sasquatch. I don’t need the bigger engine and between getting a two door and the 10 speed auto it should be fine. + I want the stouter m210

That M210 will be available also eventually, by people like me who buy a wrecked one and drop in mogs or 60's.

It’s been heavily implied that you only get the m210 with the front locker, so that would mean badlands or Sasquatch package, however I would love to be wrong on that lol.

The 210 upgrade is available on Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond and Outer Banks. No Sasquatch needed.

 

[Chrism81]

Both, but if a gun is to my head and I have to pick it would be the 2.7.

 

[Bronc-O]

I'll take the 2.7. I reserved an Outer Banks and not going off road, so Sasquatch would be a 180 from what I'm looking for.

this has been confirmed? Must have missed it. If so, GREAT! Can’t wait to see pricing Because the 210 front and locker would likely be $4-$5k to get aftermarket.

Do we have any confirmation on this outside this document? I don’t trust this one to be accurate on that, like most Ford documents it doesn't even say auto is required for Sasquatch. I’d also be pretty surprised if Ford bothered to offer a different front dif as a standalone option without going for the front locker. (The only trims that come standard with the m210 are badlands, wild track, and first edition). Since you have to get Sasquatch to get the front locker on any other trim, I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be rolled into the Sasquatch package.

but again, I would love to be wrong, because offering just an upgraded front dif as a standalone option would be epic.

You need the Sasquatch for that. People aren't reading correctly. The 210 is not a separate option. If you want that and a front locker it will be cheaper to get it from factory with the Sasquatch package right from the start.

The people who are saying they'll get the 2.7 and then simply add suspension down the road are obviously forgetting about the locker and the 210. It wont be cheap to add those things amd probably not as reliable.

I'd pick tye Sasquatch and the 2.3 all day. Especially when Ford will release their performance tune that will give you the same amount of power as the 2.7. Which is plenty for what I need.

2.7 because you can easily add the upgrades after market parts

2.7 and factory lift.
