Basequatch vs. BD vs. BL Value

Nachtsturm

I plan to order a 2023, stuck on 2 door with Manual in White, unless Desert Sand becomes available. I realize things may change for MY23, but is this breakdown correct?

Options are Modular Bumper, and Sasquatch on all. That is it, with the exception of the base, added aux switches.

Base:
MSRP $41,300

Black Diamond:
MSRP $47,005
Difference in price: $5,705, adds difference grill, Marine Grade seats, wash out interior, privacy glass, 2 extra GOAT modes, Molle Strap System, Leather wrapped steering wheel, two rear tow hooks.

Badlands:
MSRP $50,750
Difference in price: $3,705, adds BD items plus Signature LED Taillamps and Headlights, advanced 4x4 auto on demand, sway bar disconnect.

Did I cover everything?

Honestly, the best bang per buck seems the Wild Track, but really want to get the manual.

Well if your set on a manual....I would get the base. Literally the same equipment when optioned with the Sasquatch package and the only thing different is the interior and maybe some subtle exterior differences. Performance wise the base is as good as any other Bronco Sasquatch. If you don't mind a bases interior than definitely get the Base.

If you weren't so set on a Manual, if you had the money, I would get the Wildtrak Hoss 3.0. If you don't get the Hoss 3.0 though, performance wise, the base is as good as every other Bronco Sasquatch. I don't think most people understand that fact.

If ya are not interested in the options available moving up trims the base is the value leader. About anything on the base upper trims ya may want can be added cheaper (and even higher quality) than going up trim.

BD and BL also come with rock sliders and bash plates. And the BL has the front sway bar disconnect. I personally thought I wanted a base with sas and manual but after spending many hours on the B&P and looking at long term maintenance costs I decided that a non sas BD fit my desires better for almost the same price. 2dr does look amazing with Sasquatch though.

Edit meant to respond to the OP sorry.

You mention what comes with the different versions, but not what of those things you care about.
Think about what matters to you, and find the minimal level that those things show up at, making sure they are things worth paying more for. (i.e. privacy glass isn't worth a level bump. even ceramic tint is cheap.)

DRIVING base squatch 4dr soft 2.7l mod bump w/bash plate and aux @ under $50k OTD and honestly i wouldn't change a thing. now mind you i have added my own upgrades. tinted front and side window, some ppf, gorhino rb20 steps, hitch assy, jtop, bartact, front lic plate relocate , factory mats all-around and there still will be more. remember to take into consideration why your buying a bronco. for me it was the outdoor adventures (leaving comforts behind for the unknown). i also daily drive this thing and have no issues with comfort or other gripes.

Good point, 2 door, sasquatch, and manual are main focal points for me.

Other nice to haves, the marine interior, factory tow hitch, upgraded lighting.

Though after reading more about the HOSS 3.0 option with the upgraded rack and tie rods, I am digging that. But would have to forgo the manual and get the wildtrack. Hope they offer at least the upgraded rack on lesser trims for 2023.

I know there is some special 2 door still on the slate to be announced. May wait and see. Though I've been doing that since the bronco has been announced, after they initially said no sasquatch with manual.

Tow package (7 pin)

I wish, that would make my decision easy. Though if I could get even a 4dr raptor for MSRP, I'd do it.

I moved up to badlands for the stay bar disconnect and the 360 camera package and there is no way I would settle for anything less now that I have it!

No you get the front sway bar disconnect on base.

Stay bar disconnect is on badlands and first edition only. Is not part of the Sasquatch package.

My Brother just picked up his Basesquatch ( mind you it is 4-door) he got all the goodies v6, armor, hard top, mod bumper, and slide out tailgate all for $45k OTD. He already priced Tint Katzkins and leather wrapped steering wheel. No heated seats or Dual zone climate but do you really need that? And you can add the heated seats if you need that. And you can add a manual sway bar disco.
Hard to beat a BaseSquatch.

Yeah I originally ordered a BaseSquatch then the Hoss 3.0 came out and I have fell in love with the Wildtrak ever since.

Oh okay. Knew Ford had to differentiate the Badlands some how.

This pic might help a little. Don't forget to also factor your gear ratio options. If you want 37s etc. get the 4.70 rear axle.

I was set on the 2Dr and after the all the "issues" my dealer knew I was interested in the BRAPTOR and Ford allocated one for their dealership and he gave first right of refusal...I was torn because of the 2dr not being an option but I caved and said yes. The BRAPTOR is scheduled for product the week of 95/2022. :rolleyes:

I am too am set on a 2 door. However, if I were in your shoes, I'd do the same and buy the raptor if it is at MSRP. I held out on the original order waiting for the "Warthog" version to be released. Now that it is, I can't even get one. Went to numerous dealers to try to no avail.

Closest you can get to a 2 door raptor right now is the the Wildtrack HOSS 3.0. Adding the Hoss and Mod bumpers to make it comparable to others I built.

MSRP 54,160

Difference: $3,410
Gain: Mid Package, HOSS 3.0, Special hood, 10 speed auto, 2.7 TT V6
Lose: Marine Interior, Rock Rails, SBD, rear steel bumper

Seems like a good bit of kit for the money.

However, just read there are no 2023 customer orders to be allowed when the bank opens, only retail. So, the wait game continues.

Maybe this delay will help me get into a Raptor, or a Desert Sand 2 Door Badlands with HOSS 3.0 and manual!

Until then, my FJ will continue to see duty. The 2 Door Sasquatch looks so beefy in comparison!

I thought Wildtrak was the only one getting Hoss 3.0. It would be awesome with a stick though.
