Sasquatch for daily driver?

[Rogues Gambit]

I don’t even think extra tires will be needed. I don’t think goodyygot triple peak rating with them, but they should be close. I know they were trying hard to get them snow rated.

Can you elaborate on that? I thought larger multi terrain tires would be more ideal for snow, no?

My bad. Didn't even realize this was 7 pages in. Just while I have no experiences with 35's, same time, know it'll be fine

Extra tires were a just in case kind of thing, not saying they were necessary

I run 35's on my superduty they are noisy and with a 4"lift on truck a bit of a chore for my 5'6 wife to get in,but all the pics i've seen of the 35's on Broncos looks like less step in height.

Full mud terrain tires can get snow packed and cause traction loss, depending on load range of tire, a harder tire doesn’t handle snow as well. The sas tires are a “multi terrain” or “Max traction” tire, not a mud terrain. They will handle snow better than most here realize.

It’s less than 1” taller than a badlands for a reference point.

Depends on what the tire is. Compound and tread pattern play the biggest role when it comes to snow performance.

For example: Some mud terrain tire that gets hard as a rock in 20* weather and packed with snow is gonna give you a less-than-ideal performance experience.

What about towing with 35s on it ? I be hauling a 16' airstream Bambi behind my badland but not sure to go with 33 or 35s on it ?

According to the specs...Sasquatched trucks are 1.4" taller than Badlands.

It's actually 1.25" taller. Ford set their heights on the website to the rounded tire size (i.e. 35s, 33s) etc. Which is why they show the sasquatch as 1.4" taller. Maybe they hadnt selected tires at that point in time? Its actually (34.4 - 32.7) / 2, plus 0.4 (difference in lift) = 1.25". Not (35.0 - 33.0) / 2, plus 0.4 = 1.4" (which is the number they have)...And if you do the math for BL vs OBX, BL is 1.1" taller, not 1.0"....anyway, who cares...I nerded out on this. Especially when someone claimed the step in height of the BL is 4" more than an OBX. LOL, which is incredibly wrong.

I have a base model reserved. I was planning on 33's and lower gearing to match the increased wheel and tire combo. Rear locker would be a nice extra but not 100% manditory. It does not look like this will be available options. Looks like I might have to move to a Big Bend. I do not like the bb wheels/tires and would upgrade immediately. Hate to pay for this.

This will be my daily driver.

Would the sasquatch package (on base) be unreasonable for a daily driver?

IF you get the Sasquatch with the mud tires you can always get all terrain tires when you replace them the stock tires eventually. So you'll have the badass 35's but all-terrain

35's will get loud once they start to wear especially if M/T's but that is just how M/T's are.

The SAS 35's aren't real mud terrain tires.

Towing with 35's isn't the issue. Towing a 16ft trailer behind a Bronco will be the problem.

I’m ordering Base Sasquatch 2 door with the 2.7 using it as a daily and a kid hauler

Even if it's well under the 3500lb limit?? I plan on trailering my 17' Aluminum fishing boat that tops out at 1960lbs, including trailer....

Boats are much easier. A travel/camper trailer turns into a big sail in any kind of windy conditions. You end up with the tail wagging the dog. With a boat you don't really have that issue. Make sure that you have surge/trailer brakes and you should be fine.

I am in Morgantown with an easy commute. There are a ton of places to explore around me (I am just not real familiar with them).

I have decided on the Sasquatch. Now the big question is am I going to stay with Base trim, SQ & 2.7; or will price me to move up in the trim levels. Maybe Black Diamond.

Black Diamond has the best seats and bumper
