Base Model Owners: Official Thread

[ievolve]

Would have loved to land a "basesquatch" however I have 3 friends with orders of various iterations of Sasquatch who are still waiting more than 8 months later. I decided to go a fully stripped 2door base manual 2.3 eruption green, with only aux switches. Ordered 3 weeks ago, last week got my build confirmation. March 7 build date. All of us ordered from the same dealer, and they are bummed. I suppose the build spec plays a pretty big role in how quickly they are built.

I suppose a base bronco beats no bronco, huh?

Looks good! A little birdie tells me Yukon will have lockers for us soon. I'm sure ARB will too.

Dusty have you heard any more information about this? I am hoping that the open 3.73 or 4.46 can be upfitted with a rear locker, as I am thinking about changing my order for my base 2.3 auto to the big bend so I can get a rear locker. May have to drop the auto to help lower the cost on it, but my wife won't be happy, LOL. Just seems like a lot of money to upgrade the package to be able to get it. Btw I really enjoy all of your videos on YT. I look forward to seeing what mods you do in the future.

I appreciate your feedback on our YouTube channel. We love hearing from people who found value in them.

I haven't heard anything further regarding Yukon's upcoming Bronco offerings. I expect that ARB, Dana-Spicer and Eaton will eventually offer selectable lockers for the M220. There should be plenty to choose from, but I don't know how long any of those will take.

I appreciate you guys making the videos as they really help us base buyers see what the capability of our lower priced rigs truly are.
Btw it looks like I'm locked into my base bronco as I called my dealer today and he said it was just locked in and might be up for building soon. I got an order email from Ford today as well showing the build with a priority code 19, so I'm hoping to get a production email next soon! 2.3 auto base with aux switches in cactus gray.
Hopefully aftermarket will have a great rear locker option soon.
Thank you

Congrats on the order! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with it's capability right out of the box. Get some bigger tires on it and there are lots of places it can go. The taller gears that come with the auto probably won't be optimal but in 4-low you should still be fine.

That really looks great. What model of sylvania? Also you may have mentioned in a previous thread about your bumper but that looks really nice and not too heavy. Did you wire it up to the aux switches?
