Honestly I think you made the right choice, Sasquatch is more than just wheels and 35s. If you're never taking it Off-Road it's a waste to have lockers. If you want to jazz it up you can just get a puck lift and get a set of beefier looking 33s.
You made 100% the right decision for YOUR Bronco. Wants, needs, practicality and overall appearance depends on the person as much as shoe size. As long as you are happy with your's, who cares what someone else thinks is better. That said, two door BD, Sasquatch, 2.7 haha
I think a lot of people buying these are going to take up an interest in off roading even if they weren’t interested before. I don’t know if you went to one of the off roadeos, but there were a bunch of people in my group with little or no off road experience, and it seemed clear that they just picked up a new hobby that day. They were smart to offer that to Bronco buyers. It gave the newcomers the confidence that they needed to go out and get dirty, and it gave the experienced people a better idea of what the vehicle is capable of. Yeah, the Sasquatch package is probably unnecessary for most, but the lockers make a huge difference if you’re gonna do anything more than trail riding. Compared to my old off road rigs, this thing almost makes it too easy.
I've gotten my Expedition stuck in the mud in my own driveway before. A rear locker would have been really handy.
From a practical standpoint- the only real issue is which whether you want standard, high or lux package. You can get new tires and rims for about 3300 and a leather interior of any color you want for about 2000.
I don't see myself getting anything higher than the mid package. The base model already comes with all I need in terms of creature comforts. The main reason I'm considering getting a higher trim level is for the lower gears and locker(s). The base model with 2.7 and SAS package comes in around the same price as a BB with rear locker and mid package. To me that is a lot of value and I can always add the Katzkin leather interior down the road.
What the heck is this?? A Honda element??
Yeah, I opted non-squatch OBX with the rear lockers out of a knowledge that I live in Upstate NY, will be logging a ton of miles, have to deal with the snow, but won't be hitting anything offroad that would require more than that. Don't really need to disconnect sway bars and engage both lockers to handle just about any situations I can get myself into (legally) in the Adirondacks. Will it be heading down skid roads and the like? Yup, I'm sure with ease. Did I need the rest of the options? Nope. Would I have gotten them if money wasn't an object? Hell yes. May still put a spacer in later after I run these tires out, but who knows. It's all subjective.
“OBX Hate” isn’t elitist, it’s just “bigger is better” bro culture marketing. I love seeing broncos that were appropriately spec’ed out for their owners. They look great in person. Even if I lived in Moab or Sedona, I really doubt I’d go scrape my new ride on the rocks. Off-roadeo is cool, but remember it’s a marketing tool to sell more.
