Sasquarch roof racks restricted from factory due to issues with GVWR; can still be installed aftermarket

[Judge Rufus]

High and Lux packages come with "additional sound deadening materials." So there's that.

Those are supposed to be around the firewall of the motor compartment, not the headliner.

This one is not sasquatched, its a regular badlands that they put 35's on. It was explained in the walkaround video.

BN post to their IG stories.....

Proof B&P is buggy or Ford just doesn’t understand how to disclose “concept/prototype” vehicles properly. Either answer is stupid at this point.

2.3.. aftermarket wheels and tires... accessories will get shipped to the dealership if they are to big/heavy to throw in the vehicle.

Another thing that would be nice is to get the beadlock wheels without having the Sasquatch package.

You can on the Badlands. They are a $995 option w/ the 33's.

Then, again, not properly disclosed - it looks Sasquatched. People see this and assume it’s a Sas. (I did and I’m following all this fairly closely)?‍

It just looks poorly on Ford that they hype 200 accessories and it’s “built wild” and “their most capable Bronco yet” but it can’t handle a silly roof rack.

I understand the aftermarket and I’m not all that worried about fitting one later - I’m simply commenting on the optics of it. “Rock star” design team kinda dropped the ball on this point.

Watching the video now, the guy says, as he is explaining the tire upgrade, that this is a Sasquatch.

I love how we can use the word "sasquatch" as every part of speech now. Noun, verb, adverb, gerund, doesn't matter. Would it work if we shortened it. "Hey, did you squatch it or not squatch it." So cool.

So are the restrictions linked to Sasquatch here because of the weight difference or height? If weight, I would be surprised if this bronco weighs less than a sasquatch bronco due to the steel bumpers and winch. If height is also a factor, yeah this one might be 1/2" less tall than a sasquatch.

Weeeird... I was able to add both to a few of my builds with a 2.7 on day 1 of B&P.

Same.

Took me a while but I found the answer. This bronco is Squatched, but they did not have the sasquatch heavy duty front coil springs in that it should have hence the stuffed front tires.

"Folks that were there confirmed it with the Ford reps. It was sas package, less the heavier coil springs."

"Ford shit the bed and didn't have the sas heaveier duty coils (that provide the lift) on that A51 "overland" thing."

The rear looks pretty stuffed too through?

For what it is worth, the fenders are the Sasquatch ones too.

 

[Compta38]

Jesus just buy the damn rack either when you order or just after it arrives. The thing installs in minutes and is not worth all this whining.

 

[BrianBormes]

Yes from what I gathered on the other forums about this is that it is squatched, but just doesn't have the heavier duty lift coils, which applies to the rear as well. If a bronco has squatch fenders, but not the coils it is really a squatch??
The answer is more elusive than Sasquatch himself.

I wish Ford would give people a better break down on sasquatch components, like do they lower the front diff to compensate for increased CV joint angle?
