Yes, only one is a Base Squatch, but there you go.

Last year I was all in on a Black Diamond trim, because there was no manual sasquatch. I was worried that in MY2022 I wouldn't like the blacked out grill of the base, but adding the brush guard really makes it come together perfectly, IMHO.

If anyone has more brush guard photos on a base sasquatch, please post them!

I made this change myself. Went from badlands MT with high package to a base mansquatch with aux switches only.

Felt like a massive weight off my shoulder. I have no idea why. I think for me I like the idea of making it my own. Also I was constantly trying to justify the extra cost, about 10k more.
I slept on this for 2 more days, i just went with BL Standard package. I could care less about the extra lights, camera, and sensors, but I’ve always wanted the MGV seats and washout floors. Hopefully i get a build date soon so i wouldn’t have to change anything anymore lol

This is where I am at too! I keep going back and forth between BD and Base. Both would be Sasquatch with 2.7. The only real reasoning that I can see for getting the BD is for the MGV and washout floors. As much as I want that interior, it is hard to justify an extra $6000 for it. HELP!

2.7, auxiliary switches, rack, running boards, and floor liners. This thing is amazing. Looked better than the first edition sitting next to it when I picked it up. Got x plan pricing too.

Yeah dude.. the 2 door is sick. Hopefully I’ll get mine sometime during my lifetime.

How does it drive?

For me it was an easy decision, mainly because Ford won't allow for the mid package on manual transmissions on anything except Badlands (which would be an extra $10k, which I cannot justify for the electronic sway bar disconnect).

I went to Super Celebration East and was able to view the MGV in person. It was soft to the touch and looked incredible, definitely a plus. The drain plugs are less of an issue. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but the only difference here is drilled holes and removeable plugs.

For the Black Diamond, I was perfectly happy with the black steelies and 32" tires. So, price wise - the total is just about the same on both builds. I can't get the mid package on BD due to the manual transmission, so it all boiled down to the MGV vs. the Sasquatch package on the Base.

The major points for me surround the Sasquatch upgrade. The upgraded front axle and the front lockers are very hard to add aftermarket for the price. Plus, I would already have 35" tires and wouldn't have to upgrade. That is a lot of value for the price. For MGV, it would be easy to replace the seats if I wanted to go in that direction in the future.

So, purely based on the value of the items, Sasquatch package definitely beats MGV.

However, I would really feel this boils down to what package you want. If you are okay with the standard package, go with the Base and Sasquatch. The value can't be easily replicated. If you need a package greater than standard, then that disqualifies Base immediately.

There are other minor issues, like Base gets the nod for the better accent interior. Black Diamond gets you a leather wrapper steering wheel and some tint. These are very easily overcome and shouldn't really be a factor.

2 door Basesquatch all the way since day 1 for me when I reserved 7/14/20. The only option is 2.7. So it had major constraints. I never changed the build, now scheduled for build the week of 1/17.......we'll see.

I wanted the meanest, cheapest, lightest and quickest Bronco. Basesquatch 2 door with 2.7 is it.

Couldn't beat the value of the Basesquatch in my mind. 2.7L, Aux switches and mod bumper love it and already making it my own.

I have the same Oxford White build on order minus the brush bar. Looks good!
