For me Squatch is worth the wait. Factory warranty lockers, on 35's, and upgraded suspension right out the gate is amazing. Super sweet custom builds though!!
Name one place within 250 miles of the Dr. Pepper museum where you would need the squatch package to get you home? Everything past the base model is just for stance IMO. Who takes a 50k vehicle mudding?
@@Brandoify , I had brought all 3 of my H2's (all built up) mudding. I do plan to get a Bronco in 25'. I'm leaning toward the Raptor. It will be taken into mud, but it will probably never rock crawl.
Sasquatch has front and rear lockers,better gear ratios for bigger tires,lift,Hoss suspension,35" tires with bead lock rims all under warranty...not a hard decision to make!!!
Imo, if you’re into off-roading, then go sas. I went with Black Diamond (fairly capable off-road) but I’m not gonna be doing a whole lot of rock crawling. If you’re just into looks, then go sas - I think it looks great with 35” tires. Or, if you want to save $, then a 2” lift and 35s will give you ‘the look’
Forget the Sasquatch. I initially ordered a Wildtrack. When it did not make the ‘21 production I had to adjust for a ‘22. Better for me. I was able to drive a manual, and an automatic in both engines. TBH the 2.3 auto impressed me the most, and looking at the future repairs on twin turbos - choice was easy. Stepped down to a Black Diamond with rear locker, kept auto, (dropped price by $12k) and will put a set of 17x9 with a 305/70R17 Ridge Grappler. Remove the crash bars and call it a day. No real sense in dropping the extra cash on the Wildtrack, or on a 2” lift to gain 1” of ground clearance. Just my $.02
Here is what I love about this! 😁 There are no dislikes on comments because honestly we are all just stoked if you order Sasquatch or do it on your own or don't even want it lifted so you can get in and out it doesn't matter we are all looking for something unique and we found it! Such an amazing audience this Bronco is bringing 👍👍👍😁
I went with a Sasquatch on my Badlands 4 door for two reasons: 1, the cost is about the same as if I were to do the equivalent upgrades myself, and 2, factory warranty. That warranty alone is worth it. I have a build date of 29 NOV.
@@ToeMosSVlogs I was a Day 1 reservation. I was one of the people who crashed Ford's website when the live premiere ended and the website for taking reservations was announced.
16:10 I had the molded in color hardtop option on my OBX pre-order. I was told that it would be a 2023 model year. I removed the option and now it is scheduled to be built in November.
I’m spending 58k on the first new vehicle I’ve ever purchased and I’m going to keep it a long time. I don’t think I’ll be sacrificing the Sasquatch package. Also that just allows for more time save for the hefty down payment 💰. Great video! You got two very good looking broncos there and I can’t wait to get my hands on mine. Love the content. Keep it up 👍
We did a SAS on our 2.7 Badlands Lux. It was only a $2500 option. Buy 5 rims and tires, lift, shock, locking front & rear diffs and then install it all….It’ll cost your more then $2500. To have to write a check for a few thousands dollars for rims & tires after you’ve already bought your vehicle kinda sucks. That said, I absolutely love the options of some of the rim & tire combos out there. But I still don’t see myself buying aftermarket rims & tires. I’ve never done it on any vehicle yet. Don’t plan on it with my Bronco. Which, BTW, shipped last Friday. It’ll be here between Nov 1st-7th. Can’t wait!
@@svtcobra615 Yep. But question is, was the SAS worth it. On the lower trim levels, where the SAS is $5k. Yes, I could see not doing it because rims & tires aren’t that much when bought aftermarket. Lifts aren’t that much either. And if you don’t mind n out having both lockers. Then you won’t be at $5k. But us higher levels, where the SAS is only $2500. SAS does make sense.
Badlands already comes with front and rear lockers even non Sasquatch so your buying a gear ratio that will give worse gas mileage and bigger tires I went badlands non Sasquatch and when the 33’s wear out I’ll buy 35’s
100% worth the wait dont let anyone tell you different. I have a first edition you get the front and rear lockers, HOSS etc.. But more importantly if you get the right one you get the sway bar disconnect.
This is why the Bronco is such an awesome vehicle. Individuality. You build your Bronco they way You want it. I ordered my Black Diamond with the Sasquatch package because the locking front and rear was important to me. I do wish that Ford would have made the Stabilizer disconnect on option on all of the Broncos. Who knows, maybe down the line. But, for me it was worth the wait to have the Sasquatch. I also must be pretty lucky because I got my build date the week of December 6 this year. I ordered my Bronco back in June of this year. When I ordered it, they told me it would probably be the end of 2023. It worked out for me. I hope it works out for the rest of you. After watching all these Bronco videos, I can't wait to have mine. I'll be in a good group of people who are also Bronco owners.
My Wild Track has Sasquatch by default however I still feel there are too many factory benefits to not select it on another model plus and it unless you plan on installing front and rear lockers and doing a lift bigger than 2 in anyway. My personal opinion is it's like ordering a Tesla without autopilot. Just order it so it's a part of your VIN number so if you get into an accident they will replace your factory equipment.
I have already seen to many lifted Full Size broncos that have to bypass an obstacle and look like they have Sasquatch but they don't have gears and lockers.
Even in the Off Roadeo videos it's apparent that front and rear lockers are more crucial to getting traction and making it up trails than big tires. Also, Brad Lovell stressed all the engineering research that went into the development of the Bronco advanced HOSS suspension and the tuning of engine/transmission/suspension for optimal performance in one or two Bronco ride-along videos I watched. I would definitely choose a Big Bend with the Sasquatch package over a Big Bend with an aftermarket lift and 35" tires for those reasons.
You also get the Auto 4WD transfer case with the Sasquatch correct ? I'd rather keep my build and get everything from the factory with a factory warranty .
For the amount that Ford charges to add the Sasquatch package it's well worth it! When you add in Wheels tires, new gearing, in front rear lockers you're looking at upwards of 10 grand. The Sasquatch package is a steel in my eyes especially if you get it on the base
Even though the Sasquatch package is a fantastic package that really amps up the bronco on the lower trims especially at a good value. I can see the reasoning for skipping it so that one can get their bronco much sooner. Is that TC Custom lift, wheels and tires of a similar price to the Sasquatch? Definitely an interesting preview of what to expect on the Giveaway Bronco.
I'm all for modifying your order in order to get your Bronco built sooner. I built my Outer Banks with a soft top, without the Sasquatch package, and I received my Build date and VIN 30 days after converting my Reservation to an Order. I did upgrade my Outer Banks with the Advanced Auto 4x4, 4.27 Gear Ratio and Rear Locker. So I'm only missing the Front Lockers from my Hero Switch setup. I also added Aux Switches and the High Pkg. The biggest thing I sacrificed was the 2.7L engine, but I'm getting my 2021 2.3L Outer Banks in Nov. 2021, so I'm super happy with making that sacrifice.
For me, the bigger M210 front diff, 4.70 gears and front and rear lockers were non-negotiable. I don’t care about the wheels and tires. I’m sure I’ll change those regardless, lol. Base, Sasquatch, 2.7 made the most sense for me. Switched to a soft top and my November reservation got scheduled the same week!
@@JC-cv3up no. I feel like the GOAT modes are a little “gimmicky”. If you understand the fundamentals of off roading, and you know when to use your lockers, and 4H/4L, that’s all that matters. The main things they change are the shift parameters, and engage 4wd or lockers depending on the mode. The base has sport mode which will hold gears better. During the off roadeo, I literally only used “normal”. The rest is learning when to use everything and not relying on a “GOAT mode”. I highly recommend attending an Bronco Off Roadeo event.
I've got a base 2.7 with aux switches, keypad, and modular bumper on order. I'm really torn on adding the squatch to it, if they add a rear locker option (like the big bend has) for the 22MY I'll be opting for that and saving the rest of the cash.
I went with the Badlands, 2.3 6speed that way I get the HOSS suspension, The rear and front lockers, with the 4.7 ratio. Only thing I am missing is the lift and 35s
So if you get a Badlands that comes standard with the disconnecting stabilizer bar and add the Sasquatch package, do you still keep that disconnecting stabilization bar option or it gets removed since it gets replaced with Sasquatch package options? Ian debating if to get a Badlands then add the Sasquatch package or just get a Wildtrack that already comes with Sasquatch as standard but no stabilization bar disconnect.
Totally keeping the squatch on my Badlands. I just don’t want to have to do anything to it once I drive it off the lot with the exception of a few minor things like decals and some ppf in certain areas.
My bronco has the Sasquatch package and I got it REALLY early, I don’t think it slows down your order at all. The lockers and gear ratios alone make it worth the price
It's crazy how things have changed with the Bronco supply constraints. I ordered my 2024 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 auto with Lux package and hard top in early September and even with the strike I still have a build date of January 29. I'm happy
I have the Sasquatch on my 2023 OuterBanks Lux hardtop . With trail hitch. I would wait it make the car into a rockstar. It’s like getting a mustang with no GT . People love the look !
You forgot to mention that a rear locker is available on the non-squatch Big Bend. Upgraded LED Lighting is also available and Mid Package adds dual zone climate along with other goodies! I had ordered a Big Bend non-squatch which is being built in November. Ended up ordering another with Sasquatch and letting the other one go to be sold. Willing to wait for the Squatch!
Glad to have my Sasquatch on my badass Bronco Wildtrak - antimatter blue - got it a week ago - super cool - can’t wait to begin customizing it - GREAT job Ford!
The after market parts you have to reinforce the tie rods struts sure make a case for rural living . Hate to think about needing to work on them in 2 feet of snow.
I have a Badlands w/sasquatch package. I love it. I am finding though, that the install of the winch will be a challenge. I wish I had gotten that when I purchased the vehicle.
The main problem I see with that is that ~80% of the time you will get a huge bill in parts and labor from a custom shop, for what is probably a less value package than Ford’s Sasquatch. Not to mention you most likely will void the Warranty on a “year one vehicle” that is bound to, and has already (actually) had issues.
If you get a Manual Badlands you pretty much everything to include HOSS suspension and 4.7 rear. Wheels, 35 tires and bigger wheel fenders is pretty much the only things you really give up. This is why on a badlands it’s only a $2500 option. Don’t get me wrong I love 35’s.
10 min 57 sec I’m 6 foot 3. Love you Mitchell. I like the custom rather than the factory Sasquatch. I choose the tires, I choose the rims, I like that. Comes down to dollar and cents, what’s the real cost. Watching enough of the videos I see the quality and care in TC customs’ work. How much is a plane ticket from Long Island to Birmingham?
I went with Outer Banks four-door lux package with Sasquatch! Switched to a soft top to get it sooner but I do think it is worth it getting Sasquatch package because you get more with a warranty !! But the ones you customized really look good ! You are giving people options!! My build date October 25 !
@@SH-hx7rz Yes I got mine first week of November and as far as the soft top goes it is better than I expected you know how old soft tops used to be this is way better! My opinion!
Having a ranger with 33 and a locker with a 3.5 lift. I would take the big bend with a 3.5 lift and 37.and a locker. That setup will get you to 99 percent of the places most people will do. Most will be mall crawlers any way.
Living in Colorado and wheeling way up in the mountains it’s super important to have the lockers and the sway bar disconnect. I think you can recreate the suspension for cheaper than the cost of the Sasquatch but add front and rear lockers and headlock wheels in and the Sasquatch is an incredible bargain and it’s under warranty! If I were building a mall crawler or just doing light off-roading I’d skip it and go the custom route.
For someone who isn't really going to do any rock climbing, this may be the way to go, but only if the price difference is significant. But than again there is resale to consider, although lots of people own Jeeps that have never left the pavement, so there is that .
I'm leaning toward the Sasquatch package because I want to run at least 35s. I'm guessing without the SP, I'm going to have to screw with differential on top of the lift kit/wheels/tires - that'll prob be 4K right there, if not more. Man, I would prefer running some of those Rhino rims though.
If you have a big bed or base the Sasquatch package is way better then modified just simply the lockers adds so much more value…it’s only about a 5k upgrade and guarantee your not going to do wheels, tires, lift with shocks, and lockers for under 5k in the aftermarket
Both are pretty amazing and sit just how I would want it. However , I think from the factory Sasquatch package and then upgrade as needed later. I would have the best of both worlds.
I feel like I’m the only one who picked a badlands non Sasquatch! I’m not a big off roader. This bronco will be my weekend/road-trip vehicle. Some off roading here and there to camp or find some beautiful views, but nothing crazy. Currently driving a rubicon gladiator no mods and it does great on 32” tires. Couldn’t see myself needing much bigger. Also ordered in late October and it’s in production 6 months later. Wasn’t that bad of a wait.
Does it make me vain that I want one just because it is a beautiful vehicle? I probably won’t take it rock climbing, but I wouldn’t mind using it on the beach or for camping.
Not sure if I can fit this new Bronco into my budget. I waited from the minute Ford announced they would bring the Bronco back. I’ve owned 3 Broncos before, currently down to one that’s a project build- I sold my first one and on 8/31/2021 I got hit and rolled 2x in my 1994 Eddie Bauer. One day, hopefully, I’ll be able to afford one of these bad boys.
Sasquatch was the only way to go for me, I figured I was waiting anyway. Hey Mitchell, how tall are you, bud? 😂 I don't think I've watched a video where you didn't say your height at least once. It's almost a drinking game. Thanks for all that you do, I appreciate your videos. If I lived closer to Alabama I would use your Dealership.
@TCCUSTOMS can we get an updated video now? The supply chains are better now, and not only are people are shopping used. It would be cool to see your breakdown and opinion on the package now discussing if the cost differential is worth it or just get an aftermarket lift on it.
If I end up ordering my 2 door Black Diamond, I’m definitely passing on the Sasquatch package so I can get the manual transmission. I’ll drive it in stock form for a while and gradually figure out if I really need to upgrade anything through the aftermarket. Great video as always, much love from Texas!
The hidden option missed by most commenters here as well as the build is that you can just add the rear lockers on the big bend build (which is what I did) - truly turning it into an offroad machine. You cannot do that if you go down to the base model.
Hi Mitchell I thought the Sasquatch package from Ford also had a heavier duty front axle as well not sure on that but if you let me know it would be much appreciated .. thanks
It does have heavier duty axles. And a more aggressive gearing. For me, that would be really nice to have, but I’d rather give it up to get the bronco faster (which is exactly what I did with my white badlands).
I have a Big Bend with dual ac, switches, locking bar- except 1sf, and a couple of other package upgrades. This of course made it more expensive. I find that many of the trim package videos are limiting this info in saying “this is what you get” with this package. It’s misleading. I found it confusing for ordering until this was explained correctly. Get what you want in the package instead of trim picking.
My Black Diamond is at the dealer in this same color and four door 2.7L. non sasquatch. I didn't fully realize the advantages until I went to off roadeo. Now I want the 2" lift and 35" tires.
Whe I watch videos of the big bend and see the dash panel with like 2 buttons I’m really glad I got my badlands. I love my lockers and sta-bar disconnect. It’s so worth it.
My OB came with a locking rear differential but doesn’t have it on the front axle. I plan to drive it on the beach a lot. Hopefully it can handle thick sand without the front locking differential. I’m a little worried.
Sixthree! You're back. Thanks for the info. It's hard to choose but better to pay up front with package as I don't know much about spacers, etc. Thanks.
Seeing as how a lot of the parts are modular for removing and replacing - I assume the same would apply for the roof system?!? Can you order one with the soft top and change it out at a later date with the hard top?
Great videos Mitch, two things though. One, my '21 F150 Lariat FX4 has bolted on, therefore removable, crash bars in the front. Not sure which year you were looking at. Two, as others have mentioned the Escape is made in KCMO, we have one of those too, but I believe the motor was assembled in Mexico. So you were partially right.
Pro: I'm lovn the Bronco more and more with each video. Con: not a big fan of the powder blue nor the small circular lights. They seem to be a lil lost in the grill.
I was getting a base with the Sasquatch package but thinking of changing to black diamond and doing this so I still have rear lockers at least and the marine grade vinyl seats and rubber flooring with the drains
From the point of the suspension when vehical is at rest. How much droop is there in the front suspension after you guys lift it 1or2 inches? What's the over all travel in the front suspension? Is there any plans in the works to do a straight axle kit or is it even Is feasible without major engine relocation or frame modifications?
On my 2022 Badlands order, the dealer said they could not select the combination of High Package 333A and the 4.7 Rear Diff. Dealer stated that although you could build that on the Ford 2022 website, the Dealer could not input that combination for the order, therefore I had to elect the Sasquatch package to get both the 4.7 rear and the High Package. :(
I'm keeping the Sasquatch as I like the rims & the lower gearing. In non Badlands models you also get a stronger front axle 190 aluminum housing vs 210 cast iron along with the lockers F&R.
I have to give you props for the videos you do. I love the way you show what TC Customs does, what b is factory, and what you do and don't like from. The factory. I wish you were closer.to me in upstate NY. You rock!!
Black Diamond 2.7, tow, SAS reserved/ordered 8/25/21 and have a 2/21/22 build date. So I don't think SAS and tow are the main constraints these days. I'm seeing a lot of older orders not built that have high/lux package. I think chips for the high/lux are a bigger issue than tow, 2.7, or sas these days
My 2022 Bronco is on order. I'll be customizing it so I didn't do the Sasquatch pkg. Gonna do 35s, Go Rhino RB10s, 2" lift kit. Still deciding what brand of lift kit to go with.
I want the Sasquatch package, but with the two inch lift plus the bigger tires, will make it much taller and I go to the city a lot and tall parking garages are way more expensive and harder to find, so I’m just going to rock with a rear locker and probably get mud 33”
For me Squatch is worth the wait. Factory warranty lockers, on 35's, and upgraded suspension right out the gate is amazing. Super sweet custom builds though!!

The main things they change are the shift parameters, and engage 4wd or lockers depending on the mode. The base has sport mode which will hold gears better. During the off roadeo, I literally only used “normal”. The rest is learning when to use everything and not relying on a “GOAT mode”.
I highly recommend attending an Bronco Off Roadeo event.
I've got a base 2.7 with aux switches, keypad, and modular bumper on order. I'm really torn on adding the squatch to it, if they add a rear locker option (like the big bend has) for the 22MY I'll be opting for that and saving the rest of the cash.
I went with the Badlands, 2.3 6speed that way I get the HOSS suspension, The rear and front lockers, with the 4.7 ratio. Only thing I am missing is the lift and 35s
So if you get a Badlands that comes standard with the disconnecting stabilizer bar and add the Sasquatch package, do you still keep that disconnecting stabilization bar option or it gets removed since it gets replaced with Sasquatch package options? Ian debating if to get a Badlands then add the Sasquatch package or just get a Wildtrack that already comes with Sasquatch as standard but no stabilization bar disconnect.
@@DarkHorse51 yes it is part of the badlands package
Totally keeping the squatch on my Badlands. I just don’t want to have to do anything to it once I drive it off the lot with the exception of a few minor things like decals and some ppf in certain areas.
My bronco has the Sasquatch package and I got it REALLY early, I don’t think it slows down your order at all. The lockers and gear ratios alone make it worth the price
Have the Sasquatch … it’s fantastic on and off road 1,000 in a week we drove already
It's crazy how things have changed with the Bronco supply constraints. I ordered my 2024 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 auto with Lux package and hard top in early September and even with the strike I still have a build date of January 29. I'm happy
I have the Sasquatch on my 2023 OuterBanks Lux hardtop . With trail hitch. I would wait it make the car into a rockstar. It’s like getting a mustang with no GT . People love the look !
You forgot to mention that a rear locker is available on the non-squatch Big Bend. Upgraded LED Lighting is also available and Mid Package adds dual zone climate along with other goodies!
I had ordered a Big Bend non-squatch which is being built in November. Ended up ordering another with Sasquatch and letting the other one go to be sold. Willing to wait for the Squatch!
Glad to have my Sasquatch on my badass Bronco Wildtrak - antimatter blue - got it a week ago - super cool - can’t wait to begin customizing it - GREAT job Ford!
The after market parts you have to reinforce the tie rods struts sure make a case for rural living . Hate to think about needing to work on them in 2 feet of snow.
I have a Badlands w/sasquatch package. I love it. I am finding though, that the install of the winch will be a challenge. I wish I had gotten that when I purchased the vehicle.
The main problem I see with that is that ~80% of the time you will get a huge bill in parts and labor from a custom shop, for what is probably a less value package than Ford’s Sasquatch. Not to mention you most likely will void the Warranty on a “year one vehicle” that is bound to, and has already (actually) had issues.
If you get a Manual Badlands you pretty much everything to include HOSS suspension and 4.7 rear. Wheels, 35 tires and bigger wheel fenders is pretty much the only things you really give up. This is why on a badlands it’s only a $2500 option. Don’t get me wrong I love 35’s.
10 min 57 sec I’m 6 foot 3. Love you Mitchell. I like the custom rather than the factory Sasquatch. I choose the tires, I choose the rims, I like that. Comes down to dollar and cents, what’s the real cost. Watching enough of the videos I see the quality and care in TC customs’ work. How much is a plane ticket from Long Island to Birmingham?
I have one on order….I’m so excited about this vehicle….. love this channel as well
I went with Outer Banks four-door lux package with Sasquatch! Switched to a soft top to get it sooner but I do think it is worth it getting Sasquatch package because you get more with a warranty !! But the ones you customized really look good ! You are giving people options!! My build date October 25 !
Have you received your Bronco? I would love to know if you're happy with that soft top. I just cannot decide.
@@SH-hx7rz Yes I got mine first week of November and as far as the soft top goes it is better than I expected you know how old soft tops used to be this is way better! My opinion!
My outerbanks 2.7 sas gets 14 mpg. No oil pressure gauge. Still love it.
Sticking to the squatch for resale down the road I’m not one to buy other people DIY projects
Having a ranger with 33 and a locker with a 3.5 lift. I would take the big bend with a 3.5 lift and 37.and a locker. That setup will get you to 99 percent of the places most people will do. Most will be mall crawlers any way.
Living in Colorado and wheeling way up in the mountains it’s super important to have the lockers and the sway bar disconnect. I think you can recreate the suspension for cheaper than the cost of the Sasquatch but add front and rear lockers and headlock wheels in and the Sasquatch is an incredible bargain and it’s under warranty! If I were building a mall crawler or just doing light off-roading I’d skip it and go the custom route.
Is it worth it/necessary to upgrade to 4.27 gear ratio for a Big Bend non-Sasquatch if you plan on running bigger tires?
That leather is off the chain!
For someone who isn't really going to do any rock climbing, this may be the way to go, but only if the price difference is significant. But than again there is resale to consider, although lots of people own Jeeps that have never left the pavement, so there is that .
I'm leaning toward the Sasquatch package because I want to run at least 35s. I'm guessing without the SP, I'm going to have to screw with differential on top of the lift kit/wheels/tires - that'll prob be 4K right there, if not more. Man, I would prefer running some of those Rhino rims though.
My original order was a Black Diamond with the Sasquatch, I changed it to the Badlands without the Sasquatch package.
Get the package and put the better lift kit on it when they come out.
The lockers and gears are worth it.
If you have a big bed or base the Sasquatch package is way better then modified just simply the lockers adds so much more value…it’s only about a 5k upgrade and guarantee your not going to do wheels, tires, lift with shocks, and lockers for under 5k in the aftermarket
Also, resale value will be better with factory installed SAS. It may even decrease resale when you do your own mods.
Both are pretty amazing and sit just how I would want it. However , I think from the factory Sasquatch package and then upgrade as needed later. I would have the best of both worlds.
I got a black diamond Sasquatch package and I somehow have a build date. I can’t wait to take mine off roading .
I feel like I’m the only one who picked a badlands non Sasquatch! I’m not a big off roader. This bronco will be my weekend/road-trip vehicle. Some off roading here and there to camp or find some beautiful views, but nothing crazy. Currently driving a rubicon gladiator no mods and it does great on 32” tires. Couldn’t see myself needing much bigger. Also ordered in late October and it’s in production 6 months later. Wasn’t that bad of a wait.
Does it make me vain that I want one just because it is a beautiful vehicle? I probably won’t take it rock climbing, but I wouldn’t mind using it on the beach or for camping.
Not sure if I can fit this new Bronco into my budget. I waited from the minute Ford announced they would bring the Bronco back. I’ve owned 3 Broncos before, currently down to one that’s a project build- I sold my first one and on 8/31/2021 I got hit and rolled 2x in my 1994 Eddie Bauer. One day, hopefully, I’ll be able to afford one of these bad boys.
Sasquatch was the only way to go for me, I figured I was waiting anyway. Hey Mitchell, how tall are you, bud? 😂 I don't think I've watched a video where you didn't say your height at least once. It's almost a drinking game. Thanks for all that you do, I appreciate your videos. If I lived closer to Alabama I would use your Dealership.
@TCCUSTOMS can we get an updated video now? The supply chains are better now, and not only are people are shopping used. It would be cool to see your breakdown and opinion on the package now discussing if the cost differential is worth it or just get an aftermarket lift on it.
If I end up ordering my 2 door Black Diamond, I’m definitely passing on the Sasquatch package so I can get the manual transmission. I’ll drive it in stock form for a while and gradually figure out if I really need to upgrade anything through the aftermarket. Great video as always, much love from Texas!
Available in '22 MANSQUATCH!!
The 2022 Model Year (that opens this week) will allow a sasquatch package with a manual transmission 👏
@@TCcustoms_ WHAAAAT?! Dang that just changed the game haha! Now I’m rethinking my order spec!
@@deal492 that’s incredible
The hidden option missed by most commenters here as well as the build is that you can just add the rear lockers on the big bend build (which is what I did) - truly turning it into an offroad machine. You cannot do that if you go down to the base model.
Yup! I also got the aux, 4.46 with the rear locks. I’m good with that.
I'm just going to get a 2 door base, manual transmission, and Sasquatch it up myself at a later time. I take delivery of mine in March.
Hi Mitchell I thought the Sasquatch package from Ford also had a heavier duty front axle as well not sure on that but if you let me know it would be much appreciated .. thanks
It does have heavier duty axles. And a more aggressive gearing. For me, that would be really nice to have, but I’d rather give it up to get the bronco faster (which is exactly what I did with my white badlands).
Is Sasquatch a suspension lift or spacer? Can I add spacers to a sqauch?
Odds are, I’ll never use my front locker, I can get 4.27 gearing on the OBX and install a lift easily, along with custom rims to specialize my ride.
Also going with the 2.7 Lux instead of sas, better features for safety/road-trips
I have a Big Bend with dual ac, switches, locking bar- except 1sf, and a couple of other package upgrades. This of course made it more expensive. I find that many of the trim package videos are limiting this info in saying “this is what you get” with this package. It’s misleading. I found it confusing for ordering until this was explained correctly. Get what you want in the package instead of trim picking.
My Black Diamond is at the dealer in this same color and four door 2.7L. non sasquatch. I didn't fully realize the advantages until I went to off roadeo. Now I want the 2" lift and 35" tires.
Whe I watch videos of the big bend and see the dash panel with like 2 buttons I’m really glad I got my badlands. I love my lockers and sta-bar disconnect. It’s so worth it.
I mean... is this really an option ? Losing the front and rear locks ? Isn't that the whole purpose of the Branco ?
For all u bronco mallcrawlers spacer lift is good Dude
My OB came with a locking rear differential but doesn’t have it on the front axle. I plan to drive it on the beach a lot. Hopefully it can handle thick sand without the front locking differential. I’m a little worried.
Sixthree! You're back. Thanks for the info. It's hard to choose but better to pay up front with package as I don't know much about spacers, etc. Thanks.
Seeing as how a lot of the parts are modular for removing and replacing - I assume the same would apply for the roof system?!? Can you order one with the soft top and change it out at a later date with the hard top?
I’m getting my Big Bend in a few weeks. Can’t wait.
Killed me with the "So. without further ado. Im 6 foot 3"
😂😂 Love the videos. Educational and entertaining!
How is that funny? Bro clearly likes to talk about how tall he is. Like we get it.
Good things come to those who wait...ORDER the Sasquatch package
Great videos Mitch, two things though. One, my '21 F150 Lariat FX4 has bolted on, therefore removable, crash bars in the front. Not sure which year you were looking at. Two, as others have mentioned the Escape is made in KCMO, we have one of those too, but I believe the motor was assembled in Mexico. So you were partially right.
Pro: I'm lovn the Bronco more and more with each video. Con: not a big fan of the powder blue nor the small circular lights. They seem to be a lil lost in the grill.
I noticed today themat you can't price out a sasquash package 4 door, what gives? I want one but have to wait till we move before I order mine
Also worth waiting for the hard top and Sasquatch package!
I like the look of the tc custom bronco. I don’t need lockers living here on Long Island New York but I would definitely add them on in the future.
Removing crash bars on the extended cab f150 led to a dramatic reduction in protection, pretty sure the same thing happens here
I was getting a base with the Sasquatch package but thinking of changing to black diamond and doing this so I still have rear lockers at least and the marine grade vinyl seats and rubber flooring with the drains
From the point of the suspension when vehical is at rest. How much droop is there in the front suspension after you guys lift it 1or2 inches? What's the over all travel in the front suspension? Is there any plans in the works to do a straight axle kit or is it even Is feasible without major engine relocation or frame modifications?
On my 2022 Badlands order, the dealer said they could not select the combination of High Package 333A and the 4.7 Rear Diff. Dealer stated that although you could build that on the Ford 2022 website, the Dealer could not input that combination for the order, therefore I had to elect the Sasquatch package to get both the 4.7 rear and the High Package. :(
So you recommend taking my brand new Bonko into the TC Cocksums, and park it there? Will all be take in for?
Is this zone lift kit the 2/1? Meaning it is 2" in the front, and 1" in the back?
I'm keeping the Sasquatch as I like the rims & the lower gearing. In non Badlands models you also get a stronger front axle 190 aluminum housing vs 210 cast iron along with the lockers F&R.
You get wireless apple car play with Big Bend? I didn’t think so
I have to give you props for the videos you do. I love the way you show what TC Customs does, what b is factory, and what you do and don't like from. The factory. I wish you were closer.to me in upstate NY. You rock!!
If my hard top has the factory problems does warranty cover me for a new updated hard top?
I just got the 22 big bend i wish i would have got sasquatch package but i still love my bronco
I would like to know what are the crash bars for
Black Diamond 2.7, tow, SAS reserved/ordered 8/25/21 and have a 2/21/22 build date. So I don't think SAS and tow are the main constraints these days. I'm seeing a lot of older orders not built that have high/lux package. I think chips for the high/lux are a bigger issue than tow, 2.7, or sas these days
Hear anything about your build date? I have the same it’s stayed strong thus far
@@faroverpar8068 yea I actually got bumped up a week to 2/14. Fingers crossed it’s a smooth build and delivery from there.
Isn’t the Sasquatch package the only way you can get electronic sway bar disconnect ?
My 2022 Bronco is on order. I'll be customizing it so I didn't do the Sasquatch pkg. Gonna do 35s, Go Rhino RB10s, 2" lift kit. Still deciding what brand of lift kit to go with.
Mitchell what is the difference in ride quality between the sasquatch and the lifted bronco in the video? Which rides better for daily driving?
I want the Sasquatch package, but with the two inch lift plus the bigger tires, will make it much taller and I go to the city a lot and tall parking garages are way more expensive and harder to find, so I’m just going to rock with a rear locker and probably get mud 33”
If it’s a daily driver is Sasquatch recommended?
Is Ford letting you take new orders for the Bronco and if so approximately how long to get it?
