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.
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 👍
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
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?
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!
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
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 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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I'm in Canada, and some people are apparently pissed about the American flag detail on the shift but frankly I think it's justified given how energy and effort was put into this vehicle by hard working Americans.
@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.
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.
Warranty with the Squatch is the way to go. Yes you may get a taller build with an aftermarket kit, but it's installed by a local garage or by yourself. If something goes wrong YOU are coming out of pocket for it. Warranty good people ( for anyone who can get their damn hands on a Bronco first lol )
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!
So, yeah, for me it's definitely worth it. The locking front and rear diffs are absolutely necessary for off-road stuff. Honestly, if you were able to replicate *all* of the Sasquatch's features using aftermarket parts -- the lifted H.O.S.S. suspension, shorter gear-ratios, wheels, tires, *and* lockers -- you'd spend way more than the $4,995 it costs to upgrade that Big Bend model right there. Probably closer to $6K or maybe even $7K. And for the Outer Banks model I ordered a couple of days ago, the Sasquatch package was only a $4,200 upgrade -- so it's an even better deal. But I could also totally see someone getting a non-Sasquatch Bronco and waiting for the aftermarket to come up with each of the pieces of the Sasquatch package. Then upgrading a bit at a time to avoid the $5K outlay at the beginning. It's much easier to spend $6K or $7K over several years than it is to spend $5K all up front. That's really the coolest thing about the Bronco -- its customizability. Everyone can get exactly the Bronco they want.
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 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'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.
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.
what EVERYONE KEEPS FORGETTING is that the badlands or the sasquatch package gets you a dana 44 equivalent stronger front axle m210 vs the stock dana 35 equivalent m190 weaker front axle. i dont know about yall but that is a huge deal to me especially if you gonna run 35 or 37" tires.
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.
Eventually soon Ford will build the Bronco Raptor (rumored) then all of the angling to get the hot set up will start up all over again. In my opinion the Bronco was developed when we had cheap gasoline and the price of gas soon will be $5.00 a gallon. So I want a Hybrid Bronco ..Ford did build the Escape using Toyota's hybrid system , I need a Bronco with 3 electric motors , front/rear and a motor hooked to the I.C.E , And two battery's (a Prius has 2 electric motors and two battery's) Ford will build a All electric Bronco before the Hybrid. Soon the aftermarket will have lockers and lower gears I will wait...................... Super Video
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!
If you’re going to use the Squatch package then it’s worth it. If you’re buying it for a highway queen then do it yourself. My main reason for saying this is the 4.70 gear ratio
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'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.
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.
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 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
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.
I have a Big Bend coming non-sas... because I basically went to a lower msrp when issues started arising... now I went to off roadeo and want a sasquatch when before i never did. So, this video is great because I know what I can do to maybe make the non-sas more appealing :) I did at least order the rear lockers... I tried to get them to change back to a 2.7 but never got changed before my VIN -- sorta my fault so I am not upset... but my non-sas will be good for commuting...I think I may check into a lift/ tires when I reach the time for new tires because I do commute a lot :)
I understand a lot of Dealer demos are BIG BEND... But can anyone tell me the value in a BIG BEND? Seems its either overpriced...or the Base is way underpriced.... and ideas?
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 you are going with a trim/options that give you at least a rear locker, that’s a good idea. If you’re going Badlands, no worries, it brings all the lockers and the stay bar disconnects; this is the trim where you can not get the Sasquatch package. Overall,, and on most trims, the Sasquatch package brings lockers and that’s really what makes it worth it; be patient and wait.
You can most certainly add the Sasquatch package to the Badlands trim. It would add the 35" tires, beadlock capable wheels, different gearing, a little better suspension, and wider fender flares.
@@dcmooreesq I agree with you; the 4.7 axel ratio is nice for the larger tires; they’re like 87.5lbs per tire/wheel I think I’ve heard. What you give up is articulation on a Badlands model when you have the 35’s vs if you don’t. It really makes sense depending how how you intend to use your vehicle. For my take, a rear locker is minimum equipment for any reasonable off road use, everything after that is really depends on use, a Badlands gives you a lot of tools for most use cases.
@@Carl-vx9ws I tend to agree. Was just noting that it's possible to add the Sasquatch Package on Badlands trim. I went with the Badlands no Sasquatch because I'm not going to be doing any serious rock crawling -- just ruts, sand, moderate rocks, etc. Even without Sasquatch, I'll still be getting front and rear lockers, 33" KO2's, disconnecting sway bar, and an upgraded suspension. Frankly, a Badlands No Squatch is probably overkill for what I'm going to use it for when I go off-road, but it's nice to have extra capability if needed. I also liked the looks and options better than my second choice, which was the Black Diamond. BD has a rear locker. Upgrade the tires and the shocks, and frankly the BD would probably be more than enough for my needs in terms of going off road.
@@dcmooreesq I’m with you and honestly I like the Black Diamond; just wish it had the signature headlights. I think you chose well because you got more than you think you’ll need than getting less, and having been left wanting more.. ✌🏼
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. :(
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.
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”
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.
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.
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!!

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
I went the SelfSquatch route. Just because I wanted to keep the Manual Transmission.
2022 bronco will let you have a manual with the Sasquatch but it’s still the 2.3 L
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.
Have the Sasquatch … it’s fantastic on and off road 1,000 in a week we drove already
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.
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.
Exactly!!
Get it two-door base with the 2.7 in Sasquatch and you basically have a wildtrak minus a few goat modes
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.
Get the package and put the better lift kit on it when they come out.
The lockers and gears are worth it.
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 .
I just changed my order today. tired of waiting for my wildtrack, now getting the outer banks. I'll lift it and add larger tires.
Sticking to the squatch for resale down the road I’m not one to buy other people DIY projects
I’m getting a two door base, so definitely going Sasquatch so I can get the lift, tires and LOCKERS FRONT AND REAR. can’t beat that.
That's what I'm doing also! It's basically a whidtrak minus the creature comforts and a few goat modes
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
They’re a good question
Our Bronco with sasquatch has a production date of 10/15. Can't wait to see it ! This has been a very long wait!
I feel you!! Toooo long!! 10/25 2nd attempt over here!
Mine too 10/15. We'll wait together!
Ours was build on the 7th. And shipped on the 8th. Got burg emails about 2 hours apart. Can’t wait.
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 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.
You did good by selecting the option for the 4.27 gear ration and rear locker also a good when you do offroading
Wow, you are showcasing the O.J. Simpson-2 sides to a story edition. Thank you brother!
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!
I’m getting the same package. Is it a big deal that the base doesn’t have mud/ruts or rock crawl in its goat mode features?
@@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.
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.
“Without further ado, I’m 6’3…” Touché, Mitchell, touché. 😂
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?
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!
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
short answer YES, but so is your option. win win
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 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
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 !
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.
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.
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.
My original order was a Black Diamond with the Sasquatch, I changed it to the Badlands without the Sasquatch package.
I got a black diamond Sasquatch package and I somehow have a build date. I can’t wait to take mine off roading .
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.
I am waiting - I like that everything is lifted, calibrated and ready to go.
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!
I'm in Canada, and some people are apparently pissed about the American flag detail on the shift but frankly I think it's justified given how energy and effort was put into this vehicle by hard working Americans.
@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.
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.
Warranty with the Squatch is the way to go. Yes you may get a taller build with an aftermarket kit, but it's installed by a local garage or by yourself. If something goes wrong YOU are coming out of pocket for it. Warranty good people ( for anyone who can get their damn hands on a Bronco first lol )
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!
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?
So, yeah, for me it's definitely worth it. The locking front and rear diffs are absolutely necessary for off-road stuff. Honestly, if you were able to replicate *all* of the Sasquatch's features using aftermarket parts -- the lifted H.O.S.S. suspension, shorter gear-ratios, wheels, tires, *and* lockers -- you'd spend way more than the $4,995 it costs to upgrade that Big Bend model right there. Probably closer to $6K or maybe even $7K. And for the Outer Banks model I ordered a couple of days ago, the Sasquatch package was only a $4,200 upgrade -- so it's an even better deal.
But I could also totally see someone getting a non-Sasquatch Bronco and waiting for the aftermarket to come up with each of the pieces of the Sasquatch package. Then upgrading a bit at a time to avoid the $5K outlay at the beginning. It's much easier to spend $6K or $7K over several years than it is to spend $5K all up front.
That's really the coolest thing about the Bronco -- its customizability. Everyone can get exactly the Bronco they want.
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 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.
My outerbanks 2.7 sas gets 14 mpg. No oil pressure gauge. Still love it.
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.
Also, resale value will be better with factory installed SAS. It may even decrease resale when you do your own mods.
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.
Good things come to those who wait...ORDER the Sasquatch package
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.
what EVERYONE KEEPS FORGETTING is that the badlands or the sasquatch package gets you a dana 44 equivalent stronger front axle m210 vs the stock dana 35 equivalent m190 weaker front axle. i dont know about yall but that is a huge deal to me especially if you gonna run 35 or 37" tires.
Always enjoy your videos. You go into some great detail and explanation that is helpful! Thanks!
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.
Eventually soon Ford will build the Bronco Raptor (rumored) then all of the angling to get the hot set up will start up all over again. In my opinion the Bronco was developed when we had cheap gasoline and the price of gas soon will be $5.00 a gallon. So I want a Hybrid Bronco ..Ford did build the Escape using Toyota's hybrid system , I need a Bronco with 3 electric motors , front/rear and a motor hooked to the I.C.E , And two battery's (a Prius has 2 electric motors and two battery's) Ford will build a All electric Bronco before the Hybrid. Soon the aftermarket will have lockers and lower gears I will wait...................... Super Video
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
Good things come to those who wait I think I'll wait for the Sasquatch package
Most def worth it for me . Team Sasquatch
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
I have one on order….I’m so excited about this vehicle….. love this channel as well
If you’re going to use the Squatch package then it’s worth it. If you’re buying it for a highway queen then do it yourself. My main reason for saying this is the 4.70 gear ratio
for $2500 adding it to my Badlands order was a no brainer. That covers wheel and tire costs alone.
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'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.
Sasquatch definitely worth it it makes a big difference the way car looks more 🔥💅
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.
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).
That leather is off the chain!
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
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.
I have a Big Bend coming non-sas... because I basically went to a lower msrp when issues started arising... now I went to off roadeo and want a sasquatch when before i never did. So, this video is great because I know what I can do to maybe make the non-sas more appealing :) I did at least order the rear lockers... I tried to get them to change back to a 2.7 but never got changed before my VIN -- sorta my fault so I am not upset... but my non-sas will be good for commuting...I think I may check into a lift/ tires when I reach the time for new tires because I do commute a lot :)
I understand a lot of Dealer demos are BIG BEND...
But can anyone tell me the value in a BIG BEND? Seems its either overpriced...or the Base is way underpriced.... and ideas?
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
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 you are going with a trim/options that give you at least a rear locker, that’s a good idea. If you’re going Badlands, no worries, it brings all the lockers and the stay bar disconnects; this is the trim where you can not get the Sasquatch package. Overall,, and on most trims, the Sasquatch package brings lockers and that’s really what makes it worth it; be patient and wait.
You can most certainly add the Sasquatch package to the Badlands trim. It would add the 35" tires, beadlock capable wheels, different gearing, a little better suspension, and wider fender flares.
@@dcmooreesq I agree with you; the 4.7 axel ratio is nice for the larger tires; they’re like 87.5lbs per tire/wheel I think I’ve heard. What you give up is articulation on a Badlands model when you have the 35’s vs if you don’t. It really makes sense depending how how you intend to use your vehicle. For my take, a rear locker is minimum equipment for any reasonable off road use, everything after that is really depends on use, a Badlands gives you a lot of tools for most use cases.
@@dcmooreesq check out this video:
ua-cam.com/video/0MT41_gMiPc/v-deo.html
@@Carl-vx9ws I tend to agree. Was just noting that it's possible to add the Sasquatch Package on Badlands trim. I went with the Badlands no Sasquatch because I'm not going to be doing any serious rock crawling -- just ruts, sand, moderate rocks, etc. Even without Sasquatch, I'll still be getting front and rear lockers, 33" KO2's, disconnecting sway bar, and an upgraded suspension. Frankly, a Badlands No Squatch is probably overkill for what I'm going to use it for when I go off-road, but it's nice to have extra capability if needed. I also liked the looks and options better than my second choice, which was the Black Diamond. BD has a rear locker. Upgrade the tires and the shocks, and frankly the BD would probably be more than enough for my needs in terms of going off road.
@@dcmooreesq I’m with you and honestly I like the Black Diamond; just wish it had the signature headlights. I think you chose well because you got more than you think you’ll need than getting less, and having been left wanting more.. ✌🏼
Can’t wait for the bronco giveaway!!! What I wouldn’t give to win that beauty!!!
Edit, I’m 5ft 10 lol
Quite possibly
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 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.
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
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.
I had one in the 90s but my parents made me get rid of it with tip hazard😢 I’d love a new one but not in the budget😢 looks great !
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”
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.
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 do like how the headlights are flush with the rest of the grill! I’m not a fan of the bubble look on other cars or trucks
