Sasquatch for daily driver?

[wvmtneer]

If I still lived in WV there would be no chance in hell that I skip on the Sasquatch. SO MANY TRAILS, man I miss it. It’s the only place I’ve lived where you can drive 30 minutes down a random trail and stumble upon a beautiful waterfall or swimming hole.

I don’t know what part of WV you’re in but if you’re anywhere near Morgantown, Elkins, Bluefield, or the eastern panhandle, then I feel like you’ll love having that Sasquatch.

Is blue hole still around? I took my old yota there in mid 2000s. I also took it to someplace west of westover. All i remember is that it had hill climbs and “ponds” with about 2 ft of water to drive through.

Oh yea, it’s still popular. At least it was as of 2017 haha.

Hell, the road to blue hole was sketchy back then.

At this point Sasquatch is the only thing I really want. I'll make it work as my daily driver.

Drive a Jeep first....Sasquatch will feel composed by comparison.

How do you figure? Thanks for clarifying, off-road newbie here!

Comes down to the suspension. IFS (Independent front suspension) on Bronco will much more comfortable than solid front axle on the jeep. I have a jeep rubicon now and like it but the new Bronco will be better on road.

It should be plenty comfortable with ifs up front. I would put it at a 4runner equivalent.

I daily drove on 39.5" x 15.5" PJ Dirt Grips and had no issues.

35s on my stock Raptor for 7 years with various tire brands and all rode just fine on the highway. I don't see the Bronco being any different.

I DD a 17 Wrangler on 35x10.50R17s.
No complaints or wish to size down to van tires.
Very hard pressed to imagine a 2021 IFS Bronco on 35s being other than miles better.

Thanks! I rented and off-roaded a rubicon in Sedona last month and loved it off-road.

Ride wasn’t horrible on streets, but stiff on highway speeds. Appreciate the insight!!

Sasquatch and 35's as a daily driver is no big deal. I daily my Raptor and before that my FJ on 33's. My Raptor is the most comfortable road trip vehicle I have owned. The FJ on long drives wasn't great for two reasons. The seats were not comfortable and it was under powered/geared for the tires I was running.

I have a base model reserved. I was planning on 33's and lower gearing to match the increased wheel and tire combo. Rear locker would be a nice extra but not 100% manditory. It does not look like this will be available options. Looks like I might have to move to a Big Bend. I do not like the bb wheels/tires and would upgrade immediately. Hate to pay for this.

This will be my daily driver.

Would the sasquatch package (on base) be unreasonable for a daily driver?

Hell yeah dude! Rock the Squatch on your daily if that's what you want. I always say, "Go big or go home!" I will run the M/Ts until winter time and switch to a hybrid 35" tire, probably an Atturo Trailblade X/T since they are fairly cheap. It's about $1k for a set of four.
