First post here.

For those curious to see how 33" all terrain tires would look on the base with the polished steelies then I mocked these up in Photoshop.

I think this looks fantastic, the proportions with 33" tires look just right for the 2 door. The 35" tires are better suited on the 4 door.

I'm surprised Ford don't offer 32" all terrain tires as standard with the base or as an upgrade (gloss black 17" steelies) considering it would provide a little more ground clearance to match that in the base Wrangler.

I dread to think how many hours I've spent on that configurator going back and forth with options. I'm constantly torn between the Base and the Black Diamond, it seems like there's so many options but too many compromises to get the perfect configuration that I'm after.

Decided not to get carried away with all the bells and whistles and to stick with the base and then upgrade to 32"/33" tires later for the minimal off-roading I'll be doing.

Money I save can go to other things since a $7k jump to Black Diamond isn't justified IMO which is the only alternative option I like that doesn't break the bank.

This base configuration comes in at $33,920.

That looks good! I was thinking of doing the same on a Base spec.... basically I'd upgrade the 16" tire size.

However... my concern is since the Base steelies are 16x7, will a 285/75-16 still mount okay on a 7" wide rim?

Who is actually putting their money where their mouth is and getting a base model? Count me in! 2-door, base, 7 speed, and sasquatch of course. Going for cactus grey, I am in AZ after all! I will add aux switches if available. Nothing else I really need, I'll go aftermarket!

Mine is base. Blue and no optional equipment. Zero, nada, diddley squat.
Base has enough. A 2" lift and 33s and I'm set.

Hey all when did B&P change? I can now add wheels to the base package???or had I just given up on the Bronco and not noticed this along time ago

I'm really curious what tires they come with... or do we just get 5 rims loaded up in the back of the Bronco lol

I wish they showed up in the render with the machined rim offered in B&P instead of the blacked out version.

.....but automatic only option. Poor decision by Ford.

For the 2.7 yes. I'm going base manual sasquatch. The 2.3 will have plenty of power, for me at least.

I am a base order as well, I did change from a 2 door base Sasquatch 2.3 MIC top, door bags, aux switches and keyless entry to a 4 door base Sasquatch 2.7 with soft top, door bags, aux switches and keyless entry May and my reservation got pulled a couple weeks later- July 26th build week was my first week given then got a delay to Aug 9th week. Now yesterday I get an update that I have been assigned an actual build day Aug 13th. My reservation was on October 31st for the $2,000 off Invoice at Granger.

As far as I understand you cannot get a manual Sasquatch package. If you choose Sasquatch package it automatically upgrades you to a 10-speed automatic transmission.

I was wondering the same about these "Accessory Wheels" in the Base's B&P...... what size they are and what tires are mounted on (if they even come with tires).

Another alternative I'm thinking of is buying a set of these Ranger 17" steelies...... powdercoat them white afterwards. Voila!

Similar to the BD trim. An OG-look but in bigger dimensions than the stock 16's.

Currently, yes. But Model year 22, manual sasquatch will be offered.

Also quick update, my 12th July week build was updated to 23 August build day. I went by the dealership yesterday and they confirmed it was supposed to be at the dealership in mid September. They said I will be the second person at the dealership to get the bronco. The only issue is the dealership is playing games. I've never ordered a new vehicle so I assumed the build sheet was the invoice however when I asked for a total price they said they didn't know what it was going to be at due to market value going up over the last year..... I swear if they try to overcharge me I'll just go and buy a Rubicon Jeep.

Interesting, I didn't know that was a possibility. What is the price increase for that? I know it was around 7,000 because they included the automatic transmission on 2021 models, curious to see if that changes or if the MSRP goes up.

Hopefully it will be available on all trims, not just badlands.

Sasquatch is $4,995 with the automatic upgrade ($1,595). So without the automatic, 2022 Manual transmission sasquatch models should be around $3,400 for the package.

I just did the build configuration and it looks like $7385 minus $1595 so more like $6k ish
