Is the Bronco really this big?

[NCOBX]

Hard to judge from the pics, but I can assure you 35" tires are huge! Kind of surprised everyone is jumping on the Sasquatch package. 35" tires look great and perform well off-road, but in every other setting they're a hassle. Terrible on-road manners, loud as hell, poor fuel efficiency, soft sidewalls don't handle well, etc. Would be interesting to do a poll and see how many users with Sasquatch package reservations have actually driven a 35" tire on-road.

I think your a bit outdated on those thoughts.
I daily drive 37”s comfortable, they’re KO2s so they are quiet, they handle well going through mountain roads, I regeared my truck and gained nearly 3MPG over stock KO 315/70r17 tires.

Just imagine it 1 inch shorter with 35s instead of those 37s.

If your shorter get side steps and I wouldn’t imagine there would be trouble getting in.

Edit: There’s a strong possibility this may have the Ford dealer installed 2” lift, so possibly 3” shorter, which is a LOT when it comes to overall height.

Nobody should be putting steps on an offroading vehicle, they will just get smashed and end up also damaging the body when they break.

I agree, and I don’t run any on my truck but for shorter people the quick connect steps available can be rather handy.

At 6’2” that’s never been a concern of mine.

If my girlfriend moans it's too tall she's getting one of these for her birthday...

35's on 17's have the exact amount of sidewall as a 33 on a 15" wheel, the rides would be comparable. Yeah, old gumbo mudder 37's on 15" bent steel wheels on a TTB bronco probably handled terribly, but modern wheels and modern tires are 10x better. There's a reason you see so many people dailying trucks and jeeps on 40's these days.

Yeah he's a fair bit bigger than me!! It's gonna look massive next to me ?

Standard kitchen counter top size is 36", so this is very close to that wheel size for a 35" Sasquatch package.

Looks real to me.

Just email Ms. Martin/Young or Mr. Jennings for their dimensions. For data purposes only....?

I'm 6'2" also. For us older guys and gals, the knee arthritis is the real problem with a tall vehicle. We still love 'em tall just as much as younger guys, just need something usable as a DD.

Yeah actually that's one of my concerns is how huge it may wind up being. I'm used to vehicles that, like, fit down city streets and between trees and stuff. Hate driving giant trucks.

That’s how I understand everything I’ve heard. The Sasquatch has a small lift and then you can get 2” extra from the dealer.

Yeah, we'll get 2" extra from the dealer alright...

It doesnt seem 'huge' or anything. Its slightly wider/longer than a standard Xterra (though probably similar to mine since I have an offroading bumper and the spare on the tailgate like the Bronco does. The height of it with 33's and hard top is also similar. Its not a small vehicle but not as big as many SUVs these days.

Yeah - my scale for "huge" in this case is "current-gen 4Runner" since I'm comparing it to two relatively small 90's SUVs (ZJ and SWB Pajero). I guess if it's FJ Cruiser/4Runner sized that won't be TOO bad. Even though there are much larger vehicles out there, it doesn't change that they're big on their own, ya know what I mean?
