Side-by-Side photos of 33's vs 35's tires on 2021 Bronco (with pro camera)

[Thrasher78]

I don't know what sandstone is suppose to look like and I thought wild track had some digi camo look. But this is what I rode in . Looks like navy pier to me . Ie frankenstein . Maybe there was another race red . But I didn't see it .

Guys..... I was there all day. Spent hours with each of them. The Race Red is a wildtrak, no it’s not a Frankeinstein. It has a leather Sandstone interior.
The Rapid red is a First Edition and has the navy pier interior. Not sure what you mean by « it does not have the wheel I have seen on Squatch ». It has the standard First Edition wheels which are Sasquatch wheels with the beauty ring painted black. And yes those are 35 tires on the Rapid Red.

I guarantee it.

Broncoser your right , my mistake was sandstone . Didn't realize that with leather it dropped the digi camo and added the blue. Mirrors the renderings .

Unless you get manual transmission with your badlands, you also get 4.7

According to B&P you get it with the manual

I believe that’s the SandStone leather trimmed vinyl.... and the reason why i am switching from wildtrack to badlands :\

Go to the B&P. Badlands let you select the 4.7 gears with the 2.7 and the automatic. So, just by clicking a button you can get the gearing. Ford stops you from doing a lot of interesting things but they let you do this. Where's the problem?

Honestly, I don't look at the B&P because we've all know it was completely messed up when it was introduced and has still not been completely fixed. It's a waste of time to get worked up over what can or can not be done on it when the info is available other places.

It says right there that non-sas BL is 4.46

That’s for the automatic. Look up one line and you’ll see the manual is 4.7

B&P also lets you chose 4.7 with automatic without Sasquatch, but it is in error. Can’t order that way

B&P is what my dealer is using to order. They don’t offer any other options if it’s not on their online B&P. I’m not questioning you but if it’s out there but you can’t order it what good is that?

What good is a B&P that is screwed up? Not much at all. Ford carries all the blame and should be embarrassed. They must not be as they've failed to fix most of the mistakes.

Now, what I think and what Ford thinks are two completely different things when it comes to what you SHOULD be able to do. There is no reason we can't choose our preferred gear ratio other than Ford says no. I would have loved to have gotten my BD with 4.7s, but it wasn't an option. It would have been just as easy to build with it, but whatever. Just means I'll upgrade to what I really want myself sooner than later.

I miss read the post I quoted as you can't get it with a manual. Newborn = sleep deprivation.

I am 3 pedal for life kind of guy, or at least until I can no longer purchase them

So a few days ago I brought you a detailed report about my ride at KOH here: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...ack-report-and-new-information-gleaned.12330/

I told you I did not post more pictures cause I have the same as everyone else. That was true for my phone pictures. What I did not tell you is that I brought a pro DSLR to take a comparison of 33s and 35s with a lens corrected for distortion at a focale that is close to human eye for proportion.
So here you go.

EDIT: I feel the question coming. Yes when I saw them for real when taking those pictures it looked and felt like those pictures. They are "true to size". My opinion is that 33" look good but the 35 look a bit better. My first thought when seeing them the first time was "it's less difference than I thought it would be"
Capability is very similar, all the Broncos at that event (on 33 and 35) were doing the same course at the same speed. An engineer at Bilstein who helped develop the shock even said he would take the 33s cause "travel is king" and he did not like that Ford reduced travel on the 35s. So it's mostly a look question. Is the slightly better look on the 35 worth $2500 (on a Badlands)? Do you favor the 1" higher clearance? or the 1cm better travel? Only you can answer. Personally, I am still undecided.

By the way, just trowing that out there but I just test drove a 2.3 ranger today and a 2.7 F150. I floored both 8 to 10 times from 0mph and from 20 and 50. Honestly very little difference, and I would say that the 2.3 even had more character and was more fun. BUT the F150 was 400 pounds heavier. Still, I do agree with the Bronco driver from KOH when he said both engines are perfectly fit even on a loaded Badlands. After discussing that with him, and driving both myself I decided to go with the 2.3. Unpopular opinion for sure, but just sharing my thoughts for those who can't decide.

Awesome! Thanks!

Everyone getting just the 33's: "I don't see any difference"
Everyone getting the SAS: "why would anyone pay $50k or more on a new iconic vehicle after waiting more than a year and NOT GET Sasquatch with 4.7 gears and HOSS"??!!
Just saying...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the difference between the BL w/o sas and with, was 10mm which is less then half an inch. My understanding is that the difference is much bigger in a base sas vs non-sas.
At least that was what I gathered from one of the videos that came out a couple of months ago, where they had three people involved in the Bronco answering questions.

Axle page in the Order Guide.

So BL doesn’t come with a disconnect? Didn’t all the videos show a BL with an axle disconnect?

 

[Mama_Dropt_Me]

Not a huge difference. Thanks for posting!

I agree. The difference isn’t huge. However, the subtle difference in both width and height is noticeable.
