This is my personal build... I like to see it as a well optioned lower trim level. With the 2.7l it comes at $46,xxx, and with the 2.3l at $44,xxx.

Me, too. I can't even get them to pay for my cell phone even though I use it constantly for my job.?

If someone was giving me 45k towards a Bronco I would trick out a Badlands and gladly pay the extra 8-10k

Thanks for the information. I will try that. Thought I did that but will run it again.

Hi all,

I’m in a pretty good situation as it relates to getting a new vehicle. My company picks up the first 45k of any vehicle I choose. I get to keep that vehicle in a company lease for 3 years (i can buy it out at the end for a ridiculously good rate). Anything over and beyond 45k I’m immediately responsible for. So for instance, if the total cost of the car (excluding tax) is $48k I would have to come up with $3000 cash up front.
1) I don’t know if I will buy out the bronco at the end of the 3 year lease. It will probably be somewhere in the 11k range.
2) I have not done any time of off-roading or over landing but it does interest me.

I was looking at the OBX because I could get it plus the high package (I like the idea of the 12” screen).

BUT I could get the big bend squatched for close to 45k as well. I like the idea of what this can give me for off-road.

I’ve played with a lot of the builds but I’m just unsure. There’s a chance I love this vehicle and buy it out as a “fun” vehicle in 3 years and keep it.

I welcome ALL opinions. Thanks!

Question, since it is a company lease you probably can't add accessories to it right? So you're going to want to get every accessory you might want from Ford at purchase time.

I can get anything I want as long as it’s new on the car.
Thanks for the replies so far and I’ll post do more build info when I have some time!

Can you tell me where you work... ha ha...

Also, the OBX includes the Signature Lighting that others on the BB add for $795. The only problem that I'm having moving up to OBX is the temptation of the High package (I really do need the 12" screen as I can't see shit up close without my glasses and I don't drive with my glasses). Another nice benefit is the additional sound deadening, lighted side mirrors, and 360 camera. The 4A is another added benefit.

I feel dirty saying this but OBX is the most civilized model and would probably be best.

Thanks, that 4wd auto is very intriguing and the OBX will probably hold its value better. That being said I think the painted fenders are disgusting, and I don’t need the squatch which is the only way to get rid of them on that trim I’m pretty sure.... maybe just get a matte black wrap on the fenders...

Of your choices I think the decision is easy.. I would go for the BB Sasquatched knowing you would NOT be doing any hardcore off roading until AFTER you bought it.

Yes the OBx is nice and offers alot, but it doesn't have the lockers and better suspension that you get with Sasquatch.

That being said... going outside your guidelines, I'd be buying a WT or BL and paying the difference. That 45k means it would be impossible for you to not make money when you go to eventually sell it... well unless you trash it.

Again with the painted flares argument, it really is silly. Buy a standard set from the parts counter. Sell the painted flares or keep them. The flares can be swapped in 20 minutes at most (5 min./per wheel).
