I have a BD getting built in the next month or so, but at times I do have a bit of FOMO with the BaseSas build. I also realize I won't use the capability of the BaseSas, so that keeps me grounded. LOL
See I'm glad I went BD instead of base sasquatch. I LOVE the MGV seats in the BD and also the wash out floors which base would not have. Now I currently have a Black diamond with sasquatch suspension so I'm almost Sasquatches lol

Yes, I would have preferred to get a basesquatch instead of BB squatch. Heated seated, led lights, tow could have all been added after I took delivery for a lot less than the BB price, but this was the one I found on a dealer lot so beggars can’t be choosers.

I had a black diamond on order in antimatter blue. After attending the offrodeo in NH driving a basesquatch, I wanted sasquatch bad but waited it out. When I was forced out of antimatter blue, I just revamped my order and the only thing I'm missing now is that sweet BD interior. I love that.

This is exactly what I plan to do at some point down the road (if I need the capability). Yeah, I won't have the front locker, but I don't ever envision myself needing or wanting the front locker. Upgraded suspension, yeah I can see a use/need for that at some point though. I wanted the MGV and washout floors from the beginning, so along with the capability usage I plan on, BD is the sweet spot for me.

Yes I had sooo many internal arguments with myself if I wanted to go sasquatch or not. I also attended the off roadeo and it made me really want sasquatch but in the end I realized I will only ever need rear locker and winch to get me out of any trouble, so I settled on black diamond. All the extra stuff from sasquatch are cool to have but honestly not necessary and I am glad I saved $7k on the bronco by not getting the package. I've been off reading several times in my BD and have been able to conquer everything I threw at it.

Make sure to join us in Chicagoland bronco group on FB. We have had several off road outings over IL and IN and it's a great group of people. Also have cruises and other meet ups they do through the year.

I suppose we had the same internal arguments. Ford sold me the locker and I gave up the interior. It was one way or another for me. My BD build was around 39k. the basesquatch was 41k. The BD sasquatch was 46k. I could justify 2k for front locker but not 5k for the interior. Well........I could but my wife was already stressed over the entire process. She had been driving a 16 year old TJ with 150k miles and was fine with it and the death wobble. Fast forward a year and she is loving the new wheels and not looking back.

I was all over the map on choosing a trim. I always wanted a 7MT, originally in January 2021 I ordered 2 door Velocity Blue Black Diamond for $39.5K with options. Mansquatch wasn’t an option back then. By April I decided I really wanted heated seats and the 12” screen, so I changed to the 2 door Badlands for $47K with options.

In August I got a letter from Ford that I was getting kicked to 2022, so I started reading threads about all the Base builds and Basesquatch options. I decided for 2022 my order was going to be a 2 door Base with options for $31K, and build it with 33” tires. I strongly considered the Base Mansquatch, but was offended at having to pay the extra $2K for the auto transmission that I wasn’t getting. Last day of September 2021 I got a vin for my 2 door Badlands order, so that’s what I ended up with. No regrets on the truck I bought, I’m very pleased with the sway bar disconnect, dual lockers, 12” screen, safety systems, MGV seats, etc of the Badlands. I think the 2 door Base option would’ve been great too.

I only regret NOT ordering a second Bronco.
I actually called the dealer to order another. There are some creature comforts I miss in my basesquatch, so I am strongly considering a wildtrak.
