That's a mistake, the Badlands without the Sasquatch package has all the goodies for off-roading and has the most articulation of any stock non-Raptor Bronco.
Don't waste money on a Base with Sasquatch. Get a Heritage Edition ($51k) or a Big Bend with the Black Diamond package ($49k with mid package, auto transmission, 4A transfer case, and rear locker).
Both are way better value.
Personally, I would go with a non-sasquatch Badlands lux package...
Bad hardtops will sound worse than the soft top. The top needs to be removed, reinstalled, and adjusted as it is reinstalled. It can make a huge difference. A properly installed and adjusted hardtop will sound quieter than the soft top. Also, did it have the sound deadening headliner?

Ya, I have my Bronco with 4A and my F-150 XL doesn't have 4A.
The 4A transfer case is one of four things that I wish my stripper F-150 had: Heated Seats, Adaptive Cruise Control, 4A, and dual zone climate control (in that order). The one that would likely be most difficult to retrofit is...
The major benefit of 4A is my tires wear more evenly. Maybe that's just unique for me.
I promise all of you that I don't baby my Bronco and I have almost 120k miles on it.
3 open recall issues:
Rear Camera, Fuel Pump, and the least important one, the 2.7 Engine.

Ya, once mine cracks, I will replace it with the Bestop in my garage, while I wait for the Armadillo top. The only question is how long will it last... I am currently at 116k miles and approaching 4 years since my Bronco was built/born (5 Aug 2021) or tomorrow in other words.
LOL, ya, nope! Otherwise I would have ordered a V6 2 door Base Lux package with 4A and a rear locker.
Back in 2021 there was a difference between the high and the lux package... only a few major differences for $3k. The high package got you 75% of the upgrades (only the heated steering wheel...

I would rather get these for about the same price. I bet if you walked into discount tire and asked them to match $1500 for 5 installed, they would do it. Tires and install alone would be $1540 before taxes.
If that's the case, then just get one with the factory softtop, because after 10 years I would not bet on the hardtop holding up (although my 2021 hardtop hasn't disintegrated yet.
Use that hardtop money towards the Black Diamond package which will actually improve the resale value slightly...
I can only speak on the two door, but driving at highway speeds with the Bestop was like driving inside a bass drum. It sucked.
My 2021 2-door hardtop initially was very loud inside and the Bestop was equally bad. I eventually put the hardtop back on and got it all sorted out. It's now as...
One more thing, if it is between the Base and Big Bend - living with the Big Bend will be much nicer for a variety of reasons.
A/C - dual zone in Big Bend
Steering Wheel - nicer in the Big Bend
Windows - Already tinted in the Big Bend
Proximity Sensor - Door unlocking

As much as I like the OBX with the 2.7 and high lux package, I don't see that as the right move without the Sasquatch package.
I see the best values being the following choices based on your use case.
Non-Sasquatch:
1. Big Bend with Black Diamond package
2. Badlands with high/lux package
3...
Things are generally less expensive in Florida.
However, the primary funding mechanism is the Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP), which allocates funds based on student enrollment, district needs, and local property values.
Florida has a higher percentage than most states having 17% of...
I would do the opposite, I would keep it and drive it until the wheels fall off. While the value will never increase (for 40+ years), you won't have to pay anything more for the vehicle you already have.
I would be lucky to have an offer on my 2021 2-door 2.7 OBX lux package over $25k (apx...
