Base Model Bronco Thread

[Doc Rocket]

I’m just curious, does anyone know what hero switches come with the 2-dr base and Sasquatch package?

Hazards, Traction Control off (these two are on all), Trail Turn (if auto), Front Locker, Rear Locker.

So Ford says no MT with Sasquatch until later in 2021.

You have to B&P a 2021 in December-January, where the MT won't be available as an option.

...

So how would you go about getting a 2021 MT Sasquatch when you can't order it and once your order is in it can't be changed?

No tow package for the Base has been known for a long time.

That said;
if you are buying a Base thinking that you won't have to wrench in exactly what you prefer, the Big Bend is your answer.

what does wrench in exactly what you prefer mean ??

Thank you! As the b&p stands now I may have a full bank, but 4 at least.

The Ford build and price page, indicates 4.46 axle gearing, for the base manual trans Bronco. What do you guys think of that? Seems kind of an aggressive gearing for only 30" stock tires. In that case, maybe the 4.46 gearing will be OK for larger aftermarket tires up to the 33" range?

There is some speculation that any "Late Availability" options will be MY 2022.
This is why I may get the auto.

Buy aftermarket, and bolt it on yourself.

DIY vehicle modification seems to be a fading skill for the masses.
Along with driving a stick shift.

The dealer order “form/process” will have those details. B&P is just for the customer to get an idea what we want along with a general idea of price. It sucks not having it on B&P, but it’ll happen. There’s other potential glitches I’m wondering about with it that’ll hopefully get cleared up.

This is also the factory ratio for Black Diamond (manual and auto) and Badlands (auto), so they should be fine with 33's.

Through your dealership they will be able to order late availability setup. They will have a much more detailed order catalog...with more accessories as well.

Interesting. Yeah I am hoping the stated diff gearing is not a B&P mistake. Because that should mean I could put 33" tires on the base model, and still have decent gearing, without having to swap R&Ps.

I was looking at this chart shown below, showing rpm for various tire diameters/diff ratios. For when the trans is in 1:1 drive gear (meaning not overdrive). 33" tires with 4.46 diff gearing, would land in the green zone.

I got it from the "Bronco Preliminary Tech Specs" document released in July. That does not seem like the kind of thing they would be changing much. Basically, there were only 4 total gear ratios available: 3.73 for autos on everything non-Sasquatch except Badlands and Black Diamond (with a 4:27 for autos in Big Bend and Outerbanks--maybe the locker ratio?), 4.46 for manuals except for Badlands, and 4.7 for Sasquatch. I don't see a good reason to change that all up.

Very true, except.......


The 10A has 3 OD gears.

If you went with unobtanium 5.38 gears, the turbo would kick in on the drop from 10th to 9th.

Please don't mention MPG.
I cruise my lifted, topless and doorless 4x4 at 75mph down the highway.

I know no one can answer this question, but if this true will the ‘late availability’ vehicle we get actually be a MY22 or just a late arriving MY21? Also, if it is a MY22 vehicle it sure would be sweet if they would let us order the white top.

As with everything Ford says ?‍
They were very specific about modular tops being available for late MY21 but when they referenced manual sasquatch they said built in late 21 but did not say MY21. Oversight? Lazy wording? Intentional?
