According to the documentation, the advanced Transfer Case is standard on the Badlands and available on the Manual, unless Ford decides to take that away as well.
Based on all of the documentation, the only reason the Sasquatch package requires the Automatic is the Trail Control feature, which is just software. How in the hell can that prevent the Manual transmission from being used? Just turn off Trail Control and away we go. Instead Ford developed...
It is not a deal breaker but it does eliminate my Black Diamond w/ Sasquatch option. Only the Badlands Model has the upgraded suspension and transfer case that I want and still have a Manual option.
I see nothing in any of the documentation that links the Sasquatch to the auto transmission. That said if this is true then there is exactly one model of the Bronco I would buy.
I will FCA some credit. They have their packages setup around a theme not some arbitrary group of features that guarantees you are getting something you don't want just to get something you do.
As my handle indicates, my family has a ranch in Texas, going on our 4th generation. However that doesn't really make money, just enough to keep it going. So I also remote work IT for small business part time to pay for my toys.
I am a firm believer that the Automatic transmission is directly responsible for poor driving on our roads. When a driver has to use their four limbs to operate a vehicle, that driver pays better attention to what is happening around them. The Automatic allows the driver to pay less attention...
Whatever you do, don't wreck it. I owned an FR-S manual and when it got totaled, I could not find an acceptable replacement. Either they were cars with far too many miles, had countless mods put on and taken off or were 2k above what I got from Insurance to replace it and that is when I could...
2 Door Manual, Mid or High depending on cost. No Sasquatch for me since the suspension and transfer case upgrades are already included. I also intend to daily drive and road trip it and I don't think I can handle Mud Terrain tires for hours on end so the 33" ATs are perfect for me. I have a...
If I go badlands as my reservation indicates, I won't get the Sasquatch package. If I drop down to the Black Diamond, then I would get the Sasquatch and look for a second set of wheels with 33" ATs.
I don't need the extra inch of clearance the 35"s give and I will be taking long trips and...
