Hi all, just joined up hoping for some help. My wife has wanted a Bronco really bad since they were announced. We recently placed an order for an Outer Banks, since I felt that was close to what her use case was. We never offroad, except maybe the occasional trip up to a cabin (which our standard AWD SUV handles just fine). This will pretty much just be used for work commute and errands.
But now that it's soon to arrive, I'm finding out she wanted the Sasquatch package. But only for the looks, not out of any realistic off-road need. While I'd have concerns about noise/comfort/etc. on road, she's driven both and seems fine with it. She says she doesn't like the looks of the Outer Banks standard, she wants the bigger and beefier tires.
I don't want to push her to settle, but I also don't want her to hold off for a Sasquatch, paying a lot more money, and have regrets when the honeymoon period is over.
I've thought about pushing for aftermarket wheels, but not sure that's worth it after labor costs, voided warranty, mucked up gearing and speedometer, etc.
All that to say, hoping for any advice, personal experience, or ideas to help me out with advising her. Thanks!
EDIT: From some of the replies I feel like I should mention/reiterate, this isnāt a matter of trying to talk her out of SAS package, and sheās not wanting the SAS for sake of SAS. What she wants is simply a similar look, so both her and I are trying to decide if she should wait for a ā24 ordered with SAS, or just do some aftermarket to the OBX thatās on the way now. I shouldāve stated that more clearly from beginning.
