Tape measurements: ride height & rear legroom of 2 door Badlands (w/ beadlock capable wheels + MT tires)

We put a tape measure up to the 2 Door for those interested. It was not Sasquatch but did have the headlock capable wheels and MT tires.











Here is one interior shot of the 4 door back seat. It was set for standard passengers. It actually looked like it was an inch or two further back than the driver seat.

Oh dang! So now we know that 35s don’t really fit on the Badlands. There is hardly any room to work with in the rear front fender area.
I know this KM3 has larger treads, but it’s only a few 10ths of an inch difference in the Squatch Goodyear 35s.
That ain’t gonna work.......

Wow, guy in the video said 35s right.

I hope it is okay to add a few more pictures here. Seems better than starting another thread. We put a tape measure up to the 2 Door for those interested. It was not Sasquatch but did have the headlock capable wheels and MT tires.

Damn. I just went out and measured the wheel well on my F-350 to get an idea of how it sits and the measurement is almost exactly the same. That’s gonna look hot in my driveway.

You weren’t able to get the measurements on the Area 51 overland concept were you?
That would really help this confusion with the difference in wheel space between the vehicles.

For those of us that have issues reading the numbers on the tape measure.....

Appreciate the pictures, hoping there is a question and answer deal going on there with Ford. If anyone could ask about storage of the tops (at least the first row) in the 2-door specifically (bags/diagonally with the seat down/whatever) possibilities and about factory fogs for the BL, I would appreciate it!

(If they are 'listening', please tell them integrating flog lights into the removable bits of the heavy duty modular bumper would have them stolen in about 10 minutes in a lot of the hotels I stay at for work.)

Here is one interior shot of the 4 door back seat that we got yesterday. It was set for standard passengers. It actually looked like it was an inch or two further back than the driver seat.

Looks like plenty of time for a front facing car seat. Were the seats so the way forward or adjusted for passengers?

I have a VW Touareg and these measurements are roughly the same. This will be plenty of room for car seats. My 6'1" son sits in the back and has no problem with leg room when he is back there. I did not get a width measurement on it but it looked good overall.

Thanks! Did you happen to get the length of the 4 door cargo floor? Or any interior dimensions of the cargo area.

Score! That's an additional 4" of leg room compared to my Tacoma with its passenger seat in a "middle track" position. Do you know if that's with the passenger seat in its farthest back position?

Much more leg room than a Tacoma. That is one of the reasons I went with the Touareg initially. Had to fit my 6'1" son in the back sometimes. It is the same as what I current drive daily. Good leg room.

I do not think the passenger seat was all the way back. On that note, the representative who did the door open and back seat access demo on 2 door for us is 6'2" and he said front leg room is really good. When he is in passenger seat he can put the seat all the way back and stick his legs out straight.

The photo showing 27" to door sill surprises me a little. Just measured my 2019 Raptor in same spot and observed 25". The Raptor has 35" tires. It also has a running board at 16" from ground. It is a chore for an old fat guy to step into truck without using the board. Add two inches to that height and it has me considering the automatic/electric drop down steps. Add sasquatch and another inch and it will definitely be one of my first mods.

It looks mid-track , but fairly vertical, so maybe you lose an inch. FYI when the driver seats in a normal position (front edge of seat has a 1-2" overlap with bottom of the wheel), the lower portion of the back of the seat is towards the front of the B-pillar, and the upper portion is an inch or two behind the b-pillar, and the mid-section is a couple inches forward of the rear console. So the driver seat in the photo is in a regular seating position, as is the passenger seat, albeit almost fully vertical.
