Is the modular painted top going to be available for the base or all trims for that matter other than FE/WT ?

No, base gets MIC top only

No, base gets MIC top only

Thanks bro! that's tough ... how about the rest.. or only available for FE/WT ? So confusing .. I thought it was an option for all trims ..

I don't know specifics of other trims, I've been base from day 1. I've looked around, but you couldn't quote me on other trims

Yes, I don't really care about having a locker, but I do plan on adding a Truetrac LSD. The only thing I'm kind of bummed about is the 3.73s, but I think they will be fine when I upgrade to 32s.


I kept trying to tell people that and no one believes me. If you look at other trims the advanced 4x4 is $795 option standalone, which is added on when you select squatch for $4995.

I believe you. That is what I noticed right away.

No, it was recently posted that Mod roof won’t be an early option for any trims. Even FE/WT will have only MIC for early orders.

Havent even considered white at all and then ...base 2.7 Squatch.

I would do white except for the whole OJ effect. I still remember sitting in my GF LR watching that shyte.

Haha I know right? Oh well. It’ll be my bronco.

At the $40k price point there are several options....
2 door Base, 2.7/auto, Roof rails, Mod bumper, Floor liners, Headliner + Squatch = $39,525.
Bump to Big Bend, no Squatch, with rear locker = $39,415.
or Black Diamond, no Squatch, includes rear locker and add Advanced 4x4 = $41,095.
Summary.....The BaseSquatch has the best drivetrain for the $$.

Base/no Squatch would be $33,735 and a killer deal. But needs bigger tires and maybe wheels. Wonder if the plain traction control will be good enough or if I should do an aftermarket LSD? Or if the Bronco will have the welded ring gear and a LSD is even doable?

I don't necessarily want the Squatch 35" M/S tires, but that's the only way to get lockers and adv 4x4 on the Base. Wish there was a 'mini Squatch' option!

My thought is I’d prefer locking diff and 33s. A big price difference to squatch it. Might move to big bend and get 33s, mid pkg, locking diff, and better wheels for similar price to squatch base

That's the issue I am having. I don't want to squatch a base. But a lack of a diff lock on an off-road vehicle kind of sucks. If the base had the option, I'd gladly go that route. Thinking BB is the way to go for that reason alone.

What are your thoughts on the Build and Price Reference Guide V2? How accurate is it for the Base trim? If it is accurate, then I think I can live without the mid package. The only thing I would really missing would be BLIS with Cross Traffic Alert. I had it in my 16 MKC and it was nice when backing out of a parking space and on the highway. It also says the rear camera has back up assist lines?

Base doesnt offer mid package.
No grid lines on base backup camera.
That reference guide is not good. Maybe they fixed it, but you get more accurate info from Ford website. Only package avail with base is Sasquatch

I’m with you guys on this. I just want a base with LSD. I’m old, and actually like/prefer the kinda retro steel wheels on the base. As far as I’m concerned I’d be paying $4995 (cost of Sasquatch) for the LSD. In my case, it is causing me to reconsider altogether. LSD was a stand alone option on my F-250 (which I walked down the line at Kentucky Truck Plant 2/29/00). No reason it shouldn’t be on the Bronco. @mrlevine @jimfarley98 are you listening to your senior customers and long-time F stockholders?

Just reserved a base 2 door yesterday... super excited. Long time ram owner, currently have a 2019 Rebel but will be happy to be rowing my own gears again and have something that’s more fuel efficient. Decided to not wait for the sassy pack since I’ll be able to do everything after market for the same if not cheaper price, and pick the wheels and tires out that I want.
I really feel that the base bronco is so well optioned for the price. Apple car play, 4x4, anything else I’ll be adding aftermarket with wheels tires and lift first, then maybe some create comforts like heated seats. I’m really drawn to the simplicity of the base model and can’t wait to be in manual turbo again. My focus st I used to have was my favorite car to drive. Looking forward to talking to you all more!!

Plusses and minuses to both...
Black Diamond stock with no added options is still a chunk more money than Base Mansquatch. You'd have to decide if any of the BD stock features are that important to you, like...
Steel bumpers, vinyl seats, uncarpeted floors, window tint, rock rails, aux switches, leather steering wheel and shift knob, slightly bigger steelies.

BD comes with rear lockers and bash plate standard, but Base Mansquatch with have that for a lot less money if that's the only stuff you need. BUT, Base Mansquatch is said to be late availability, so BD if you can't wait longer.

Before I order I really want to print out the spec sheets of exactly what each one comes with.

Thank you! I had not been on here as much and I could not figure out why I could not get the Sasquatch package on the base. I will wait it out a bit and see what happens.
