This is exactly the calculus I was doing in my head. If my memory serves, Squatch is $5k on the base and $4500 on Black Diamond. So MSRP will be about $2500 MORE for a stripped BD than for a BaseManSquatch. A Squatched BD will be $7,000 more than a BaseManSquatch! That $7k gets you rock...
I think I’m in. Was going with a manual BD noSquatch. If the Squatch was more reasonably priced on BD, I’d do that, but I think the survey indicated still $4500 on BD. The BaseManSquatch is just looking like too good a deal. If I can add seat heaters a la carte, that will be awesome. Not...
I guess I’m in the minority, but I cannot comprehend how so many people with no demonstrable experience or credentials have come to be internet famous for making “content.” Air quotes, because most content nowadays is mindless drivel. This video appears to be two random people engaging in...
I’ve kind of had that feeling too. All I want the mid package for is heated seats and BB has that already. So I could go BigManSquatch and not worry about mid package. That might squeeze in under $40k. Would then have to add aftermarket bash plates and rock rails.
I see that someone already asked about adaptive cruise as a standalone option and I am definitely interested in that. I’d also really like to know if adaptive cruise will be available with the 7-speed manual. Thanks!!
Forget the fuel efficiency of the hybrid. It is capable of driving either exclusively (almost) on gas or exclusively on the electric motor. The beauty of this thing will be the ability to drive to the trail on gas, then do the really difficult wheeling obstacles on electricity. If you’ve...
What if you want a capable off-roader solely for the purpose of being able to navigate a post-apocalyptic landscape in the event that you survive the Armageddon? Are you a poser?
I’ve driven across the country north to south and east to west using Tesla’s autopilot. It’s not perfect by any means, but it is MISERABLE trying to take a road trip without it after having experienced it. I will be really sad if ACC is not offered as a standalone like it is on the Bronco...
My daily for a while (Before Covid) was a Tesla with no transmission at all. Now I just drive my truck most of the time. I miss having a manual for routine driving. I do wish the 2.7 was offered with a manual, but in a vehicle like the Bronco, a manual is much more important to me. I’ll be...
There should be a sticky thread for real time spotting. I’m not too far (couple hours) from Pittsburgh. I thought about trying to go see those, but figured by the time I got there, I wouldn’t be able to find them. Seems like we ought to be able to keep track of them with how active this...
I like this thread. Mine will likely be 2-door BD with a 7-speed. I love the idea of 3 season driving around with no doors or top in a manual. If it’s going to rain, I’ll take another vehicle. I want the BD because I intend to go to some of the PA off-road parks, but I won’t be doing extreme...
I know new threads are frowned upon, but I spent like 4 hours searching and couldn’t find the answer. Has Ford confirmed that adaptive cruise will be available with the 7-speed? I know they have the tech because Mustangs have adaptive cruise with manuals and I understand it works pretty well...
John, I must admit this is a compelling deal And I appreciate having it as an option. I’ll be watching closely and may very well switch to you. Are you sending swag packs to your customers with reservations?
I took the survey, but some of my answers are subject to change. I’m still not completely decided between BD and BL or 2-door or 4-door. Currently 2-door BD. Also, if we end up discovering between now and order time that the Raptor version will be available with a manual (not likely), I’m...
I don’t really care about the 2.7. I just want Sasquatch with a 7-speed. With the crawl gear, 310 ft-lbs will be just fine for me. That said, a manual trans with the 3.5 Raptor engine or a Coyote would be pretty fun.
