…ok

I did one of these kind of comparisons back when I first ordered my 2021. The base model with the metal front bumper, aux switches, floor mats and key pad comes to $43113.00.

Seemed like mine was $15k more going from base Sasquatch to Badlands Sasquatch with everything I wanted.

$15k seems like a deal for all the stuff I was getting over the $43k Base model.

For $15k large you get:
Metal bumpers front and rear, wash out interior, MGV seating, Lux, tow, 2.7, 10 speed, stay bar disconnect, leather steering wheel, upgraded signature headlights, led tail lights, extra grab handle, better looking grill, tinted back windows, lighter colored dash, more color choices, more goat modes, MOLLE seat back instead of carpet, Rock rails and I’m sure some things I’m forgetting.

Seemed like a deal to me but I know everyone seems to have a strong opinion on what the “best” package is for the money.

That price for the Base you listed would've included the 2.7 and 10 speed, then the color lockdowns went away, and now we know goat modes can be added.

I paid below MSRP for my Badlands and didn’t realize how lucky I was until others started telling me how much the sticker was for their models. One guy had a Sasquatch Big Bend that was $49k and he paid MSRP. I feel so bad for some of the build configurations. Even at MSRP it was a $3,500 difference between our models.

You left the H.O.S.S. 3.0 option off of the wild track which gets you bash plates, steel bumper, FOX suspension, and upgraded steering components.

No, that is a base, four door, race red, Sasquatch with the switches, floor mats and a key pad. You are forced to get the auto but the price jumps with the 2.7L from $43k to $45k.

I went and drove a base Sasquatch back when the dealers were getting their mannequin. By the time I got my hands on the base model, I had driven 4 higher end Wild-tracks and Badlands.

The Base felt more than $15k cheaper to me. The little touch screen, no heated seats, the plastic steering wheel that should not be in a $20k car much less a $40k one.

Then there were the hard hits. Like the hitch that was not going to be a 6 pin to match up with any of my 3 trailers. Losing the wash out floors and easy to use drain plugs were some of the awesome features that the Bronco uses to separate itself at launch.

I can appreciate them offering what is essentially a rubicon equipment level on a base sport model but if I’m spending $40k something then I want some basic features like heated seats and a steering wheel that does not look like it out of a rental uHaul.

That price was in response to the post about 21MY prices (when colors were locked), at that time a Base SAS, Auto, 2.7, mod bumper with switches would have been close to the price he listed. The OP reflects the prices if you did the P&B today.
I agree with you on a couple points a $40k vehicles, steering wheel should be wrapped.....but then I stepped away from that and looked at the cost to address that, $4000 to fix the issue and add tint to the rear windows is completely unreasonable to me.
I have had a number of boats and currently have 3 trailers and all have 4 pins, and while I know that some trailers under 3500 pounds use seven pins, I think you are in the great minority having so many sub 3500# trailers requiring 7 pins. And in the end, I think a seven pin solution will be available (if it's not already).
And while I feel the wash-outs would be great, that's a preference, I believe the FE was carpet like the Base as well as the WT's, I think a bunch of the high trim guys might say the BL's have a floor like a rental uHaul, that shouldn't be seen on a $20,000 car much less a $50K one

I don't know why anyone would buy a Big Bend with Sasquatch. It is seriously one of the worst bang for buck builds.

 

[heynow14]

I've seen a couple of local Broncos recently wherein owners were clearly attempting to get the Sasquatch look or performance post-factory. Unless you really know what you're doing/buying, it tends to look like trash and may perform even worse than that. Weird offsets, odd sizes, janky-looking lifts....it's all bad news. Then mix in the 'who knows' issues with geometry, susp travel, lockers, electronics, mismatched parts, etc and you're left with a ton of risk. Ford has spent untold time and resources nailing down the packages they offer. Doing this same work via mail order seems like a fools errand.

Just buy a factory Badlands Sasquatch. Save yourself some drama and risk...

Haha. I fall into that camp...I won't defend the price, but there are reasons why I went this route. The main one being, I wanted the mid-package but didn't want MGV seats. I know that sounds crazy, but I keep my top off a lot during the summer and that mixed with MGV in the humid south is a no go. (My previous vehicle was a Jeep JLU w/cloth) I also don't like the interior accents of the BL and BD and I considered the WT and OBX, but man...I can't get past the ugly interior colors. I also could care less about the 12" screen. The 8" is a great size for the cabin.

I used my Ford pass points on the Ford steel skids ($440), purchased better rock rails for $625 and adding sway bar quick disconnects for $300. I will essentially have the same (Or better) capability as the BL but the way I like it


Oh, and the BB has the Best Grille

Exactly my point lol. I felt bad for them.

Sasquatch is a no brainer if you’re even thinking about going off road. Literally everything you need from the factory with a warranty. I hate when I see people pricing out the individual components of the package and claim they’re actually better off doing a “self-Sasquatch” Kit. I’m sure adding the upgraded axles and wiring up lockers to spaces with no hero switches will be more difficult. Can’t wait to see the people that “saved” $1000 on a Sasquatch package doing it themselves but they’ve spent 100 hours and thousands in labor and still get all the error messages or little electrical gremlins.

Here you go.

I just placed my order this week and I also ordered the rear shock skids. Supposedly, with the Sway bar "truly" disconnected you get even more flex compared to the BL and FE. The owner of AC Fab @Oscargrouch323 appears quite often on the Trail Militia YouTube channel. They said they were going to test this theory so I'm interested to see the results.
