Sasquatch ultimate buyers guide

[MNBigfoot]

You left the H.O.S.S. 3.0 option off of the wild track which gets you bash plates, steel bumper, FOX suspension, and upgraded steering components.

I added it. With all the praise of the light weight bumper making the Wildtrak the highspeed desert runner, I imagine it's gotta make a lot of the Wildtrak guys mad that to get the Shocks they have to get the heavy weight bumper and bash plates.

I don't know why anyone would buy a Big Bend with Sasquatch. It is seriously one of the worst bang for buck builds.

Maybe someone who wants a manual transmission ?? Just saying

At least it's not an way ugly cheap plastic bumper. You can remove the bash plates...

I did one of these kind of comparisons back when I first ordered my 2021. The base model with the metal front bumper, aux switches, floor mats and key pad comes to $43113.00.

Seemed like mine was $15k more going from base Sasquatch to Badlands Sasquatch with everything I wanted.

$15k seems like a deal for all the stuff I was getting over the $43k Base model.

For $15k large you get:
Metal bumpers front and rear, wash out interior, MGV seating, Lux, tow, 2.7, 10 speed, stay bar disconnect, leather steering wheel, upgraded signature headlights, led tail lights, extra grab handle, better looking grill, tinted back windows, lighter colored dash, more color choices, more goat modes, MOLLE seat back instead of carpet, Rock rails and I’m sure some things I’m forgetting.

Seemed like a deal to me but I know everyone seems to have a strong opinion on what the “best” package is for the money.

That 15k is exactly why I went base. Couldn't justify 15k for creature comforts and fluff.

Went basequatch basically because I wanted less things to break. my last bronco (in OJ white) basically had an AM/FM radio with dash speakers, roll up windows and plastic floors. just the best

This year's base was that era's eddie bauer in terms of feature content. except for the brown two-tone

It runs counter to marketing in the 2020s, but I believe when it comes to trucks, except for functional mechanicals, less is more. on this theory, I would have definitely sprung for HOSS 3.0 if available. get it only on the wildtrack? well, that's marketing

But isn't that the great thing about this? it serves me, those who want a highway-capable rubicon, AND those who want defender-light bling

vive la différence

Haha. I fall into that camp...I won't defend the price, but there are reasons why I went this route. The main one being, I wanted the mid-package but didn't want MGV seats. I know that sounds crazy, but I keep my top off a lot during the summer and that mixed with MGV in the humid south is a no go. (My previous vehicle was a Jeep JLU w/cloth) I also don't like the interior accents of the BL and BD and I considered the WT and OBX, but man...I can't get past the ugly interior colors. I also could care less about the 12" screen. The 8" is a great size for the cabin.

I used my Ford pass points on the Ford steel skids ($440), purchased better rock rails for $625 and adding sway bar quick disconnects for $300. I will essentially have the same (Or better) capability as the BL but the way I like it


Oh, and the BB has the Best Grille

Same here...I didn't want mgv or leather..it burns your ass in the south..actually I wanted s base but I wanted heated seats (which ironically burn your ass) and I love the big bend grille...don't need push button sway disconnect...didn't want cameras or 12 inch tv...I also wanted sport mode , leather steering wheel...also dont care for the steel bumpers or those factory rock rails..plan on aftermarket..absolutely love my bb squatch 2.7

Oh and 1 more reason for big bend...I have it in my garage! Was able to skip over 10s of thousands badlands and wildtracks that they can't build.

Base sas for me. I've had many wranglers. Among many other reasons, I didn't want all of the sensors or MGV. I feel like it's loaded.

sas is a no brainer box check.

Just buy a factory Badlands Sasquatch. Save yourself some drama and risk...

I didn’t see the $4k SAS value add vs my non SAS Badlands 2.7/auto order.

I agree 15k savings is a lot of cabbage. Everything extra is 100% fluff...

I have a Base Squatch, 2.7, AUX Switches.....Aprox 42K with XPLAN!

There isn't a stock rig that has any better wheelin abilities than a Base Squatch! Just add manual disconnects and you are in the same ballpark as a Badlands Squatch!
