Base Model Bronco Thread

I honestly don’t care tbh. The base+Sasquatch might be the best value proposition in the industry. Absolute insanity I honestly can’t get over it.

Lockers, better suspension, huge tires.... I bet Sasquatch isn't cheap. I agree though, it's amazing it's offered on the base. I'm excited.

Even if it’s a $5k option it’s still an absurd value. I don’t see it being even that much.

My guess is more than 5k... But we will see. If it's less than 35k for a base bronco with 35 inch tires and lockers than that will be an incredible deal and Jeep will have to rethink everything.

My fingers are crossed for $2,000, but I'm being optimistic. The cost for a customer to add those things to a Bronco aftermarket will be expensive, but when they're there from the factory you're subtracting the cost of the stock equipment, and Ford is going to get bulk discount on all those goodies.

The Sasquatch is going to be much more than I need though, so if they price it at like $5,000 I'll probably just go for the Big Bend for some 32 inch A/T tires plus all the random other things it gets.

All depends on how much money Ford want to make versus how bad they want to squeeze the life out of the Wrangler.

Guessing the latter!

The Base trim isn't available in the orange unfortunately.

You guys are killing me. I'm in the toss up crew.

Base will surely keep the price down. And with the 35's and an upgrade to the V6 I'm thinking hard about it. Doesn't have 1st or 2nd choice colors for me, but the Antimatter Blue isn't bad.

Second choice obviously the Big Bend.... I like remote start... never had it, wife always did though. And why not have it factory installed. Big Bend also has Race Red (1st choice) and Area 51 (2nd choice).

So it'll be real tough to choose, Big Bend certainly preferred, but I want it to not cost an arm and a leg.

Waiting game for Sasq pricing for me. Reserved other model but knowing that is 100% changeable it makes no difference at this stage. (Need 4 door but want manual trans. Want area 51 but may have to compromise).

 

[FirstOnRaceDay]

Either way I’m waiting a year or so.
but I definitely want to know what the Sasquatch package costs. Because seeing that! 4 door base with that sounds perfect!

if it’s too much, I’ll just get the Big bend trim as is.

Last night I reserved a Base 2-door.... the standard 2.3 Ecoboost with a manual is fine with me and for sure I'll opt in for the Sasquatch Pkg. Right now it'll be either OJ's white or Velocity Blue... wish Area 51 was available on the base but oh well.

Big bend has everything I want but with options it’ll likely be more than I want to spend. Torn because I’m an extremely modest guy who’s always bought cars that just get me from A-Z so I’d really like to step outta that zone and get something nice with options. But the frugal in me...lol

Making the Sasquatch package available on every trim was the BEST move Ford made with the Bronco! Think about how many people walk in to Jeep dealers wanting a Rubicon because it has the most offroad worthy components only to find out they can't afford 50k+. They stroll on over to the Ford dealer to see you can easily get 35's, suspension, lockers for under 35k-ish... under 40k easy. Game Changer.

At this point, First Edition vs Other is all that matters it would seem.

I was either going V8 and all the options, or if that wasn’t offered - 4 cyl and base.

Sasquatch package is dependent on price. I bought a new set of 37x12.5x17 KO2s for my H2 for under $1,500, and gear swap is about $2,200 to get 4.88s, add a couple hundred for a rear locker (I would never use front locker) and the package has to come in below $4,000 or it won’t be worth it to me.

And it’s a hell of a lot cheaper (essentially only the added cost of e-lockers) for Ford to install that 4.70 gear ratio on the assembly line than it is after its left the factory.
