I will not recommend to remove the option of sasquash to get your Bronco sooner if you plan to upgrade for bigger tire down the road

Watch the video below before make your decision

The bronco come most trm come standard with 3.73 gear

Depens the trim or option you choose you will have better ratio for

The sasquash gear ratio is 4.7 and it design to support 35 inch tire this is very inportant when you do offroading

Down the road upgrating tire size can be costly if done correctly see the second video to have a idea what ot look like to regear to the proper ratio

Base 3.73 or upgrade sas 4.7
Big bend 3.73 or upgrade sas 4.7
Black diamond 4.46 or upgrade sas 4.7
Outer banks 3.73 or opt. 4.27 or sas 4.7
Badland 4.46 or sas 4.7
Wild track 4.7
FE 4.7

Honestly… 4.46 is probably fine for 35s and maybe even 37s for the vast majority of people. Especially if you have the 2.7L.

But yeah… if you’re going larger than 32s/33s, the 3.73 ratio is a bad idea. Although I’m fairly certain 3.73 is only available with an open diff… so not sure why you’d want large tires on a 3.73 anyway (looks maybe?).

Also worth noting that 4.7 is standard for manual transmission on the Badlands trim. And for that reason I personally do not think the cost of the Sasquatch package is worth it on Badlands for manual transmission users.

Also like the look of my BFG 33's on BL. SAS tires aren't very good looking....
