You can get the BL AT 4.7 without squatch. Its a free upgrade.

Anyone know where exactly does Ford say getting the 4.7 is a free upgrade on BL?

I'm pretty sure there are all sorts of glitches that just dont make sense. One being that the roof rails cannot be added with sasquatch kit or something along those lines which doesn't make much sense at all.

I'll be very happy to carefully go through the options at the time of ordering. I just hope they have all this figured out by then...

will be doing manual so the 4.7 works. I do like the way the concept sits. Is this what you were referring to? I love these wheels. Although rubbing might be a concern?

Will need to purchase wider fender flares.

This is actually not a bad idea although i'll be opting for the manual trans which i can get in a 4.7 ratio.

my concern is really what suspension differences there are between badlands w/ or w/o squatch. I'm under the inclination that the suspension is Identical and only the fender flares, wheels/tires are part of the upgrade, Although what gets me is the concept photo i posted on my second post or so where it sits pretty level with 35s, either this was a very early on photo or the springs are indeed different.

Do we know if the concept had the squatsch kit installed?

Have you seen the Overland build in person? (The area 51 in the photo). I have. IMO those wheels look stuffed under there. The bronco sat lower than I feel like it should, and there was not a lot of room between tire and wheel well. I would be really concerned about rubbing. I looked at it at Super Cel East. Ford rep I spoke with said it wasn't fully Sasquatched. Unfortunately he didn't, or couldn't, clarify how.

as of now you can't get manual with a 4.7 final drive

you cannot get manual trans with a 4.7 rear end

Go to Ford's website. Look it up. 4.7 comes standard on the Badlands with manual transmission, as OP has said multiple times.

where was this pulled from?

Squatch springs are stiffer, therefore taller, than BL suspension.

If you wanna see BL suspension, non squatch, with 35s look at the overland concept.

Also, if you're going AT with BL squatch is only way to get 4.7s.

B&P will allow you to add 4.7 gears on the Badlands for no charge and without going Sasquatch

sorry, i didn't know he was configuring badlands (i must be blind, i just clued in the thread title said sasquatch badlands question, golly i must be going crazy)

From the data sheets about the Bronco stickied to the general topics forum since reveal day July 13. A lot of info provided on day 1 hasn't changed, which makes me wonder why it's taken over 3 months to get Build and Price.

I’m selling my stock Badlands wheels and tires almost immediately and going for Method 703s and a ~34” tire. Should be the best of both worlds for me.

Yep, another poster pointed that out to me. Thanks!

 

[Musicalfisherman]

Are electronic lockers standard on Badlands? It says they are included with the Sasquatch package, but I can’t find where it says they come standard on the Badlands.

Not sure why anyone would want/need this? With automatic, Badlands with 33s and 4.46 crawls slower than Sasquatch with 35s and 4.7. Ford is not stupid! They chose this gearing carefully to optimize drive characteristics across trims and packages.

I've been thinking of getting the BL with the 2.7l, AT, 4.7 gr and Sasquatch package.
I've never owned a truck and I am wondering if down the line I decide to go down from the 35" to 33" inch tires is there anything mechanical I need to worry about?

I've tried to review the forum and I saw mention of the reconfiguring the speedometer and something about the gear ratio?

I would appreciate it if someone with more experience give me some advice. TIA
