I was originally convinced I wanted a base squatch but knew I wanted a manual so had to wait for the 22. While waiting and playing on B&P discovered that a non sas BD with adv 4x4 was almost the same price. The easy clean interior, bash plates, steel bumpers and rock sliders seemed like a better way to spend the money. Plus I really like the black steelies and have been really impressed with how the grabbers preform. Have wished for a front locker a couple of times but overall happy with my decision. I do agree with others that ford should have made the heated seats and steering wheel a stand alone climate package though. Couldn’t get mid with the manual BD and that vinyl gets chilly on a winter morning.
Exactly what I went through!

A little jealous of the 2 drs. they do look better . Need over design puts me in a 4dr.

Icon coil overs waiting on the weather but I put these 36.5 Coopers on and no serious rubbing at the mall

Talk about a quiet tire ……. Oh my

No. Adding Squatch would increase the vehicle price by 25%. Not worth it for me.

I put myself in tough position when I sold my Silverado without having a Bronco lined up yet. The three I thought were available, were all sold or had deposits on them. I don't need fancy options so I knew I only needed a base, but it was down to the base Squatch or base base and build it up. I couldn't find a base base for msrp anywhere, they were all jacked up to $40K or higher so I got lucky and found a base Squatch with the 2.7, mod bumper, steps, brush guard and aux switches for msrp. This thing drives great and I knew I wanted the 4.7 gears with the bigger tires so this is the combo to go with.

I really want a basesquatch but the one option I do kinda want is the remote start in the mid package, still not sure if I'll opt to move up to the BB or BD or just not car about the remote start and stick to the base

If the Base 4 door was available in a stick I probably would have gone that way.

none! I had a BD mid v6 on order but found a base sasquatch v6 locally for msrp and bought that. Was the right move for sure! the wheels and tires / Bilstein suspension / advanced transfer case / locking diffs / 4.70 gearing / and whatever else. cost was about the same for the BD mid Non-SAS i had on order. Feel like i got much more

Also can still remote start just with the app not the fob.

Nah… just long term storage while I’m assigned overseas I’m afraid… nice to have it waiting in a couple years when I get back… in the meantime I have to live vicariously through you all and make due with a Ranger out here..

Basesquatch was my build. Then, when Ford said your squatch may not get built, I upgraded to a Badlands. Now I am scheduled, which is cool. And I'm getting things like the 360 camera. But, sheesh, can't beat the value of the Base Sasquatch.
