Our Q&A (and Photos) From the First 2021 Bronco Ride Along Event

So like I thought badlands and Sasquatch are the same suspension. Woot! Great news.

Get the badlands MT and add 35s later.

You don't get the high lift or bilsten shocks. I'd do a lift then add some fox after market.

It does show how the headrest folds back.

Any guess as to whether those rear seat headrests just pull completely off?

 

[dweskamp]

Yeah, I was told that the Sasquatch basically gets you wheels/tires on a Badlands.

But does it include the lift?

Even modern Ford I've owned has had removable headrests. There should be a button in the post slot that lets you remove them.

It looks like the Squatch includes the lift on the Badlands. The Badlands seems to have a lift as well. So the difference may be minor.

YO DAWG, I PUT A LIFT ON YOUR LIFT

@atonge40 how would you rate the overall ride? Comfortable? Quiet on the inside? handled bumps well?

@atonge40 handled bumps well?

I haven't seen this questioned asked yet. I was just assuming a Bronco would handle bumps well. We are in serious trouble if it doesn't.

This isn’t the one I was looking for, but this shows a little more detail. The seat bottom on this one isn’t tumbled forward here, so the back will go flatter than this. It does show how the headrest folds back.

Thanks. I think I may have seen this one. Still nothing I'm aware of that actually shows the seat bottom tumbled or slid forward. I agree that it should work that way, with the bottom going into the footwell. But I still haven't seen it.

The 2-door seats fold just as flat as in the 4-door. The method is completely different though. The seat bottom on the 2-door tumbles forward and the seat back folds down. The headrest folds backward to allow it to fold flat. The 4-door seat bottoms are connected at the hip area to the seat back and slide forward and drop into the footwell when the seat back is lowered. I agree that 4-door will have some additional legroom over the 2-door.

That's just like my Mariner! Good news

Well yeah, what I'm getting at, is does it jolt you all over the inside of the vehicle or is it relatively tame. That's one thing that never impressed me about jeep, is a jeep will beat the hell our of you on the trail considerably more than say a blazer, obs bronco or ramcharger

theres also no way that cargo area is 2 ft deep.

I'll go with it's just an Apple thing... Android didn't see a need for it, so Apple had nothing to copy and this is what happens when they try something on their own ? ?

you mean like originally releasing the iphone and changing the way every other manufacturer makes phones forever. that kinda copying?

No idea.

A lot of people think it looks and sounds cool and will want to finance the 35s. Nothing wrong with that.

I'd rather pay for better suspension through aftermarket, keep the MT, and pick my own tires. Not everyone wants the hassle of doing it yourself or paying for the extra stuff to go with the cost of a new vehicle.

I'm with you. I expect the aftermarket will have much better quality options for lift and wheels\tires. I'm almost sure Saquatch package is reduced price for the Badlands now as compared to the other levels that don't have it standard equipped.

i think that is level 2 embargo for releasing ride quality type remarks...8/18 i think??
