I've not told my wife yet. That's my whole hitch in this thing.

I'm hoping she's been spying on my internet site history. Lol.

I guess I need to bring it up as a topic soon before ordering begins...
I keep talking about it, trying to involve her. She will just say "I don't care! Get what you want!" That's my key to wear her down.

In realty she's super cool and I don't ever have a problem with anything I try to purchase. I don't really spend money on dumb things so when i want a big purchase she's totally cool with it. I have a tendency to obsess with major purchases, and she gets tried of hearing about it.

You want it because Ford told you that you NEED it. Pure marketing/commercialism on their part and they did a great job. Think about it, how long did it take before we saw a non-Sasquatch from Ford? We saw it so much that people think it "doesn't look right" without it. A large percentage of people's minds can be swayed in to thinking a certain way just by technical advertising tactics. You see it in the news, ads and through commercials everyday and the sad part is people respond to it quite well. Another large group are status buyers, in their mind they just have to have the best or they feel inferior to others. How many times have we read on this forum about someone thinking they will regret not getting Sasquatch the first time someone pulls up next to the Bronco they picked out without Sasquatch? A small percentage actually need the Sasquatch becuase it is either a hobby or an activity they do requires it. there are other categories but you get the point. Millions of dollars are spent on advertisement studies and tactics and it is money well spent by Ford. You NEED a Bronco and you NEED Sasquatch!

It we're being honest, this as silly a first world problem as there is...especially since this won't even be a daily driver... but I've been on the fence for months about this. I like the idea of adding Sas, and agree, having the ability to say it has Sas will make it more valuable (at least in my mind). BUT I REALLY don't like the beadlock wheels and the MT tires that come with it. That beauty ring is terrible...I love the look at the WT wheels, but that's it...totally out on the rest of the WT. I have no plans to take this thing and doing and serious off-roading. I really want to add Fuel rims and Nitto Trail or Ridge grappler. Can anyone say with certainty that a leveling kit would allow for 35's...or at least 34's or will a leveling kit make it ride like a$$? I keep telling myself there will be a ton of aftermarket options and to just chill out.
Just paint the beauty ring. I'm doing that on day 1.

It's not just wives. My husband has a serious eye rolling problem now.?
Either we have the same wife or this is happening all over. Either way I'm glad I'm not the only one.

You’ll be pointing down on them as you roll right over the top. It’ll be like a monster truck rally at the local stadium/convention center.

Power! Power! Power! We’re gunna turn the Timid Deer Convention Center into a Giant Mud Pit !!

Why do I want the Sasquatch package so bad even though I know I will never use its capabilities. I guess I can’t say never, but almost never.

Anyone else feel that same way?
Because it sounds cool and makes your car look awesome. ?. I want it bad too, but have decide not to get it. I'll upgrade at some point maybe after a couple years.

In my case I'm adding to a current 5-vehicle fleet. Newest is 11 years old. So right now I don't need the New Bronco. But in 2026 I will need a newish vehicle. And I plan to be down to just 4 cars by 2026 (2 are technically "hers").

But she's cool as well. And I keep her 23 year old Z3 in top shape. The Z3 is a cold dead hands thing with her.

So after I posted last time I figured out my approach. More later when I spring it on her. Lol.

It looks awesome! But I urge everyone who is thinking of going Sasquatch and is on the fence to check out a Wrangler with 35s. Don't just look at if from a far. Go up and stand next to it. If you know someone who has one ask if you can climb in and out a few times. You really need to swing your leg up to get in. From a daily driver practicality stand point you need to ask yourself if you're willing to deal with that each time you drive the vehicle.
Yeah and if you are over 60 you really better think about that. :p:LOL::ROFLMAO:

FOMO, I know the 33” A/T is all I will ever need and could probably add a little bigger A/T later. But I can stop saying Sasquatch and it looks cool.
