Latest Levine: Base & Big Bend Sasquatch pricing should be $7,385

[Superthornbird]

Alright everybody, quit flipping tables and use your critical thinking skills. Let's do some simple math we all learned in elementary school:

$4995 (Sasquatch Package)
$795 (advanced 4wd transfer case)
$1595 (automatic transmission)

Now pull out your pencil and paper, or your calculators, and you'll see that adds up to:

$7385

Now use common sense and realize build and price has been WRONG the last couple months. I think the logical thinkers in the group was expecting this to happen.

Imissmy1996bronco basically said the same thing:



And NickP... I agree!

The math works!

Wasn't there a tweet from Mr. Levine referencing the automatic as a steal in certain builds because it was included?

I recall that somewhere.

Optimistic?

He hasn't told his wife yet, that's the second time.

Holy shit this is getting ridiculous

I can get a 4x4 from any other maker with wireless charger and upgraded stereo for about $10000 less than a fully loaded bronco. The problem for me isn’t the jump in price it’s that a fully loaded bronco comes out to $60000-$61000. Why wouldn’t I just go buy a raptor? By next year my $60000 bronco should be worth $30000 once the warlock comes out and nobody wants the 2.7 V6. I live in Florida so that $60000 bronco comes out to about $65000 after taxes and whatever other fees the dealer fees. Shit I wouldn’t be surprised if the bronco comes out to $70000 for me.

The raptor will hold it value as well

So glad I opted for a MY22..

The B&P is not itemizing the upgraded auto transmission correctly. Selecting the mid-package defaults to an automatic transmission, adds the $1595 charge to the total, but the $1595 is not itemized on the build sheet.

So, this isn’t actually as much of a price increase as people think. $4,995 was the old Sasquatch, $795 is the full time 4wd transfer case (which was previously tacked on with Sasquatch too), leaving $1,595, which is the price of upgrading to auto.

All in all, the only price increase for a basequatch is $1595 since they are no longer leaving the auto transmission as free.

And they raised the standard 4 Door by the same amount which unlike the BB has no 7sp option

Two months to update that, they knew and did nothing.

Lots of fun second vehicles can be had for 30-50K.....

Are we going to have to still wait on the painted black top now that is now on B&P ?

Still listed as "Late 2021" availability.

When they fix the "double-charge" for the auto trans on Sasquatch, let's see if they also fix the ability to add the extra-cost rock rails option on Black Diamond, when they're already included......

 

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

now that the auto isn’t free, we manual people can no longer DEDUCT the $1595 from our Manual Sasquatch Builds, so we’re all paying extra.

This all should have been in the B&P from the beginning, then there would be no surprises.

I was very excited for a 2 Dr Basemansquatch under $40k, but not looking like it now.

Considering the 4.7 gears on the automatic will not be free when they are done, there still should be some discount.

But honestly, why wait to Squatch a manual badlands? Get it with the standard wheels and put 315’s and 1” wheel spacers (or your own new wheels) on when the 275’s wear out.

So is it 7385-1595 for the SAS package with manual transmission?

Don't ask Ford to do math subtraction...
