Wouldn't it make more sense that the BL got the Squatch?

[WuNgUn]

Ford made the Badlands as the ultimate offroader...
But I think, being as it's so close to Squatches anyways, it should come with the 35's...
And the Wildtrak, no Squatch and 33's

i think they wanted to make sure that the BL would fit in most garages.
during the NYSE bronco event, there was a Raptor that wouldn't fit inside one of the NYC garages
due to height issues.

Well, it’s better for us that you can get it the way you want it. Want 33s? You got it. Want 35s? No problem. That’s better...

The non-Sasquatch Badlands also has more articulation.

I wish wheels and tires were completely ala cart. Just pick what wheel you want, what size tire and what type tire.

Freedom!

You want the Bronco with the most articulation, the ultimate off roader, and less unsprung weight? Get the Badlands. You want your Bronco to have “stance”, and you like the look? Get the Sasquatch package.

You want a daily driver that looks way better than the bottle caps offered on lower trims? Give us the option to upgrade to 33” AT on trims under Badlands.

But everyone knows ground clearance comes from big rubber...
I guess with 33's,its well armored!

Not sure I agree with that assessment. I run 35s now and I like the way they work on trails better than smaller tires. It's not just for "the look" even though I do very much like the look. The articulation difference on the squatch and non-squatch is something like half an inch. In most situations the extra tire height will probably more than make up for that. The extra unsprung weight shouldn't be a problem with the gear ratios and torque of the Bronco. I expect that taking out the fender liner or getting an aftermarket one will allow you to take out the extra bump and get that articulation back anyway.

To each their own but I don't think it's correct to say that you buy the Squatch to get stance and look.

Good news is for those who don’t like the tire size their trim comes with, you can order your preferred tire size online, have a tire shop swap them out and sell the takeoffs. I get that everyone wants their Bronco to be built bespoke exactly the way they envisioned but that’s part of the point of this platform: to build it the way you want. What you get from the factory is only a starting point.

Is the articulation difference of 1/2” measured at the spring/strut though? And would that be even more beneficial once you factor in a smaller tire that would already have more movement? I’m honestly asking. I have no idea. I guess none of us do yet until we see it. lol

Ford is giving you options. Not everyone prefers 35’s. If the BL came standard with 35’s they would just charge more anyways. I’m glad to have the 33” option

The extra 10mm of articulation is basically meaningless when you compare the advantages of a 35 over a 33. It would be significantly more capable....if you have ever gone from 33s to 35s, the difference is pretty obvious. 10mm in upward articulation would go unnoticed.
