Hello,

I’m looking into an ordering a 2025 Badlands model. Debating on adding Sasquatch Badlands Package. Any thoughts on that? I was thinking Outer Banks but like that the Badlands sits higher.

Anything I should make sure to add/watch out for.

Anyone that has ordered it says you can add a HUD but I don’t see it on the site when building. Going to my dealership to see what they have on order vs me ordering.

Thanks

It really depends on what you want to do with it. When I ordered my ’23 my sales guy (known for 20 years) insisted I order the Sasquatch model, if for no other reason than ultimate resale values…

If you plan on doing a lot of off-roading, I think you will want the Sasquatch package, UNLESS you like spec’ing and building your Bronco up to the level of capability you want…. I’m a driver, not a modder, so for me it was an easy choice…

Not sure about the HUD, it wasn’t available when I ordered mine and didn’t realize it was available… I have had it on a number Escapes and its fun, but certainly not a necessary option… IMHO

I'm very happy I ordered the Sasquatch on my badlands. Great off road right out of the box. So good that I had to order more under armour.
I have HUD on my super duty. One drawback is it disappears when I'm wearing sunglasses.
Otherwise I like it.

Yeah I have HUD on super duty as well. I wasn’t planning on much after market so that was the leaning to the Sasquatch.

How much time will you be off road? IMO if that has to bee 80-90% of the time. Don't fall into the resale trap. Have you seen how many Broncos are on the lots and to all of you that paid $15-$20K over MSRP....HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!

I have a 23 Badlands, Lux, and other stuff on it. Been to Idaho and Montana with it. It is a nice truck and handles well.
Put the extra money into trips and accessories you will want. Might find a good 24 on the lot. My 2¢.

Thought for the day...Have you ever been tool-in down a trail with your 40 in tires, bizillion inch lift, lockers on, sway bars disconnected and then realized a Prius could travel the same trail. Just say-in!!

Ordered a 25 Bronco Sport Badlands edition. Wanted the 2.0L engine for the sport.

One confusing thing is that it doesn't look like the HUD exists, It's not a big deal, but some things stated it was optional, but there is no option showing it anywhere.

With the Badlands Sport, absolutely order it with the new Sasquatch package. Vastly superior to previous years. Definitely will give you more bang for your Buck. There are several articles posted by our very own @Melissa Clark.

If you are talking about the Bronco, for most people, the Sasquatch package is an appearance package. They like the look of the 35" tires. You pay a big penalty with that--fuel economy, price, etc., but if that makes it a dream car, do it. For off-roading, the non-Sas Badlands will get 99% of people wherever they want to go. I have a non-Sas Badlands and have been on terrain that is as challenging as I care to try. My limit is when the chance of body damage is significant. 🙂 In Moab, that means that out of the 90 trails listed in Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails, only about 12-14 may be beyond what the non-Sas Badlands can do. And let's face it, how many of those are going to be within the capability of the Sasquatch package, which is only adding less than 1" of ground clearance?

Now, if you are talking about the Bronco Sport and hope to do what people would consider aggressive off-roading for a Forester, definitely go Sasquatch. The Sport Badlands can do a lot, but Sasquatch adds even more.
