Is a Base Model Bronco All You Need?

I want the same combo but with the 7-Speed. The manuals are apparently a lot better on gas. And I like the anti-theft feature :)

Probably lack of features impacted by chip shortage bro. Ford had to make tough decisions

I have a 2023 base sas manual and love i waited 955 days from reserving to picking it up.

Love it,hopefully I can get one just like yours.

I also have a white 2-door base Bronco. But mine has a 7-speed manual and doesn't have the Sasquatch package. The only extra it had was 17-inch rims with 32-inch tires (probably installed by the dealer to help it sell for more). And even then, it barely clears my garage (most garages here in Chicago are older and have only around 6'4" of clearance).

The plan is to install front and rear lockers (the goal is for it to be able to handle at least intermediate muddy trails and the occasional Chicago blizzard). But sadly, bigger tires and further lift are out of the question. I love my Bronco, but not enough to build a new garage for it! LOL

For the most part the ‘base’ is good enough..however yours is not a 100% base. However the interior is too base with that plastic steering wheel..yuck. If you are going to get a base then get it with the SAS, manual with the Aux switches.

Folks are just hating because they don’t have a Bronco.

I’ve had my 2023 Race Red 4 Door Sasquatch Badlands 2.7 Lux package since February absolutely love it. Paid MSRP $62k before rebates.

I have a 2023 Ford Bronco base. I love being able to personalize my own truck. The aftermarket has so many high quality parts that are cheaper than the add-on options for Ford when I placed my order. Plus I have sick look 18" rims now with nice Goodyear Wrangler Duratec AT tires that look better than what Ford had. My new sound system sounds better than the B&O sound system that some trims could get as an upgrade. I have side boards now that look awesome. I am also planning to change out the front and rear bumpers down the line. Overall, I like having a blank canvas that I can turn into my own.

That’s why there’s no two bronco’s that are the same, everyone does something different to theirs to make it their own, I have a 1970 bronco that I’ve had for 30 years

Actually. You would’ve saved more money not getting Sas and doing all of the upgrades yourself. Big tires and lift. Plus, get the Pedal Commander for more power.

It is nice the Sasquatch package is a must for me but the only thing keeping me from getting a base model Sasquatch is I also want the wash out floors and the marine grade vinyl seats witch limits me to a Badlands or Black Diamond. Thanks for sharing

I have a white base sas 2 door waiting to be shipped. So dang excited. I look forward to seeing what you do with yours.

I'm looking forward to where you decide to go off roading in Wisconsin. I'm not aware of a ton of options outside of the National Forests.

I humbled myself and went with the base big bend, just to pay 7k for new axles in the aftermarket. Only different is, I'm actually paying more than you. If we put it all on paper. For almost the same options, My only benefit is I would have stronger cv shafts. I was exhausted calling over 30 plus dealers to see if they had a base sas or allocations for one. Nobody within a day away had allocations for one. Most of the sasquatch broncos on dealer lots are all higher trims. I was tempted to go black diamond but decided base or base big bend is a better deal.

Forget the haters and rock on!

Don't call it a truck because it's not a truck

All of the cars you mentioned are 50% depreciated luxury cars, and I will follow you just to see how bad the Bronco really is and to see if you're honest about it

My black diamond mid package 4 door is nice but i like my 2 door base better. My wife loves the black diamond she picked what she wanted in it. My two 2 is the play toy. Its going to be built. Got both for marp.

By the time I got my rebate last week I got the Big Ben with the Sasquatch package and several other upgrades and walked out for 23K. But our dealership sells at MSRP. Your right on that winch it’s crazy expensive. After market Parts are cheaper and often times better

No it might not have been because it was used however to start with your raptor was 3x what a base bronco was.

Good job with this video and getting all the nay sayers to shut up

The only correct broncos have 2 doors, a manual transmission, and the Sasquatch package.

I ordered the stick, on purpose. Yes, it's fun off-road, and yes, it's more challenging, too.

My badlands, 2 door, sas, lux is 61

I had a 4 door base with sasquatch built and a 4 door black diamond with mid package. Both 2.7 and both hard tops. Price at the time was 1400 bucks more for the black diamond. Ultimately i went with the black diamond for the mid package and the nicer interior and threw some 33s on it. Sucks that a base 2 door bronco sasquatch with mod bumper and upfitter switches is 50k now. Probably mid 30's when they first came out.

I put 315 70 r17 KO2 on my 2020 Tundra. Definitely a good size tire.
