I know this topic has been discussed at length but I have a specific use case and feel like I need some help deciding on my next vehicle, I'm going to place the order in the next year or 2.
I will start off by listing what this vehicle will be used for:
I plan to completely option out the OBX with the lux package, MIC, etc. I'm just struggling to decide if I should go with the Sas package or not. I don't off-road/overland anymore but I can't stand the stock OBX wheels and tires. My original plan was to just get an OBX and spend about $3-4K on some 17" Bronze wheels (a white car with bronze wheels gets me !) and 33" KO2's, but that would put me in the same ballpark as the Sasquatch package. The Sas package would also give me a small lift and some other goodies for getting around the beach, plus the 4.7 gearing would help when towing.
For those that have driven both (sas and reg), does the sas really impact on-road driving manners? If I go Sas I would probably sell the wheels and tires as soon as I took delivery and pick up some Bronze Method wheels and 35" KO2's for less road noise and to save some weight. My local dealer is marking up bronco's $15K and refuse to let me test drive without deposit. I will be driving to a nearby dealer that is selling at MSRP to place the order, that is just some time from now.
I will start off by listing what this vehicle will be used for:
- Daily driver (I work from home now so I don't drive as much as I used to)
- Will tow 3000lb boat (that includes the trailer, fuel, tackle, and gear) to local lakes and 160 miles to the coast
- This is the most important factor to me, I know people are going to say "if I want to tow then buy a truck". I don't want a truck, I have a 4Runner now that has handled the towing just fine.
- Driving on the beach for several miles at times
