Sasquatch tires ride quality?

[Sunchaser99]

In terms of on road drive quality (coming from somebody who Currently drives a sedan) Will 33 AT on badlands be much better than the 35s MT offered on the squash? Or would the experience be negligible in terms of comfort (road noise, steering, etc) Everything else being equal??

If the 33 ATs are BFG KO2 they will be better for noise. I never hear them on my truck.

Yep, I think it will boil down to road noise rather than drivability. I expect Ford made sure the 35's handled good on the road.

Bingo. Since I’ll still be using my Bronco as a daily driver I opted not to go with the Sasquatch package for this reason. The Badlands features far more off-roading ability than I’ll likely need so definitely don’t need the Sasquatch on top of it.

How can we know that which Trims would come with BFG or Goodyear?

A good guess would be that if it said all terrain, it’s BFG. If it says mud tire, it’s Goodyear. Also the size matters. Only 33s and 35s

33s with the right tread lug is manageable noise wise. 35s just add a lot more mass and noise.
If it is a mud tire I'll sound like a WW2 bomber going down the road no matter what.

But, in the end as a DD go with 33s. If its being driven not as much go 35's. Remember its a lot of wear and tear on a costly tire either way.

I would prefer no Squash, with 33's it will be easier to get in and out of, takes less power to turn 33's, lower center of gravity will make it handle better, will brake better, will get better mpg, fit into more garages, so unless you are a hard core offroader there are no upside to 35's other than looking cooler

I agree with you, but Ford really not giving good Rims for Base, Big Bend and Outer Banks they are so very Bland. Sasquatch Pkg gives good Rims and Tires but with a Price and like you said No upside other than looking Cooler.

I have 275/55/20 (roughly 32/5") KO2 AT on a grand Cherokee, 35/1250/20 MT on my f150 and 35/1250/15 MT on my wrangler. I spend a good amount driving and have a 55-mile roundtrip for work here in CO.
-The KO2s have 40k+ miles on them, rotate every 3k miles and are just starting to become loud.
-The 35/1250/20 MT on my f150 have 40k miles on them, rotate every 3k miles and are pretty surprisingly quiet and that may be due to cab sealed so well.
-The 35/1250/20 MT on my wrangler have 15k miles on them, rotate every 3k miles and are noisier but that's because the top is off or driven with a soft top and I'm much closer to the tires themselves and have much more of the tire exposed due to aftermarket fenders.

I would have no problem driving a bronco w/ 35s. However, most likely it will be my wife who ends up in a Bronco and she's wanting the 2.7 EB 4dr Badlands Sasquatch since she offroads her current GC but she could end up with a non-sasquatch badlands and probably be content with 33" AT, she'd just lose the disconnects.

On the subject of ride comfort on city streets and highways, how would a Badlands with and without Sasquatch, compare with an Outer Banks with no Sasquatch?
