So rare to see a 2023 Ford Bronco base with two doors, manual transmission, and the Sasquatch package. Totally all the Bronco you really need for an off-road connoisseur.

[@joshknudson6052]

and I've got one 😎

[@amazingjason455]

Any 2 door manual Sasquatch will be rare even though it is the most desirable enthusiast configuration.

[@meadmaker4525]

I wish Ford would hold dealerships accountable for the ridiculous mark-ups they put on everything nowadays. It's just greed at the end of the day. The MSRP covers everything, dealer profit, sales commission...everything. Marking it up is just trying to gouge customers and it hurts the brand.

[@davidshettlesworth1442]

Happy to see Ford is getting the bugs worked out for the Broncos. Now we can pray Ford doesn’t discontinue the model as they did previously.

[@christophertibbetts2458]

Why did they stop producing the last one?

​@@christophertibbetts2458Probably a lot of things. 1. It was just becoming irrelevant with the new suv models 2. Not selling as well 3. OJ Simpson

[@alexfry9114]

I am so glad they still have manual transmissions in any vehicle now if they would put them back in the half ton trucks in every company

[@angeloplanes8497]

Almost exactly what I am looking for. Want a soft top. I miss easily going top less after work or on the weekends.

[@Aschoolbusandsimulatorfan2219]

Amazing job with my dream vehicle dude.

[@mikeh.9954]

Love the 2-door manual ... this is what I'm getting when I decide on a Bronco.

[@baderalsayegh7451]

thank you

I bought a 2021 Two door base Sasquatch. $100.00 deposit. I ordered it day 1. It was built in December 2021 Received it March 2022. The difference between mine and this one is I bought the automatic transmission, modular front bumper, roof rack, and the floor Matt’s. I noticed the stick base on this video didn’t have I think advanced track and the cutting brake feature. I saw 3 buttons. I have 5. I paid 39,000 out the door. When I built the same one in 2022 it went up over $3000.00. I think 2023 was the last year of the base model. I love mine. I have only had warranty issues and ford has fixed all of them. If you want to off road it new or used get the Sasquatch of any model. It will cost you probably over $10.000 to replace gears in the front and rear and add front and rear lockers. And if the lockers are air lockers you need an air compressor on board to make them work. If you don’t replace your gears you will wear out your transmission quicker. This is just my experiences hope it helps some people.

[@gregcarterfineart]

More blippable. Love it, too.

[@johnwegner2872]

You are spot on! I live in the midwest. I would need heated seats, mirrors and a block heater.

[@ElberGalarga22]

Heated seats are ladies

[@Bubsy_Mods]

6:44 No shit a lot of money! I got my 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for $49,000 and it has everything. These prices are insane and now I'm seeing more an more 4 cylinders for $50000 and above😔

[@richardschade7576]

This is my Bronco Exactly as I ordered 03/22 and received 05/23. Kinda rare now that base is dropped for 24. 40K W/ 2022 Price protection. I got lucky with my timing. Awesome driving experience turbo 4 /manual transmission!

[@alexs3187]

Paid $37k for a 4 door Big Bend with a few extras. Automatic, locking rear differential / 4.27 axle ratio, and overhead aux switches. Just sold it with 17,000 miles for $46,000

[@sneezinhatch]

Had a badlands edition paid 44500 for it sold it for 75000 with 6k on it and bought the 392 what a game changer

[@alexs3187]

@@sneezinhatch nice I bought a Badlands last year for 60 and sold it for 70. I really don’t get why people are willing to overpay for them. They’re ok and fun. But they’re definitely not worth more than what Ford is asking for them. They feel like they’re cheaply made to me.

[@luisandresguevararamirez2905]

Perfect Ford budget lineup: Base Bronco with Sasquatch & Ecoboost Mustang Both MT of course.

[@ChKashifRasheed]

Amazing work I like your videos

[@shbnc4200]

This base model Bronco looks much alike the original Bronco

[@Miles_milez]

This white bronco has a classic look to it “ 👀🧤

[@amazingjason455]

Always buckle up before starting the engine to avoid that horrendous chime.

[@roweinnovation]

2022 you can turn that off

[@huie1983]

I guarantee that dealer tacks on a extra $10k+ "market adjustment" when you show up to talk numbers. I tried to shop Ford for 6 months recently and every dealer within 50 miles of me were absolutely horrid to deal with. Checked Ford off my list even though they make some awesome vehicles and moved on to another brand. It's a shame Ford let their dealers ruin the brand.

[@shiftymcgee9359]

5k mark up, just checked.

[@huie1983]

@@shiftymcgee9359 thanks, while it's not as drastic as I originally thought, typical Ford dealers gouging their customers still... Such a shitty brand to deal with. $50+k for a "base" Bronco, not worth it one bit.

[@baderalsayegh7451]

can you please do a difference between a bronco badland and a wildtrak

[@BenHardyCars]

Stabilizer bar disconnect and shocks

[@2hotFL]

Didn't realize you could get the manual with the Sasquatch pkg.

[@joshknudson6052]

originally for 2021 they wouldn't allow it, but demand was high, so Ford changed it

[@TopSecretVid]

I have a 2023 2door Big Bend, Sas, bumper, switches, tow package, auto(blah, wanted a manual), Sandstone cloth interior, built and shipped. But I found a BaseSquatch, manual, bumper, switches at a local dealer….I’m torn. Which should I choose?? I am so bad a these type of decisions.

[@meadmaker4525]

Which did you end up choosing? For me, the one you ordered is okay, but the auto would kill any enjoyment of the vehicle. The second one with the manual I'd probably fall in love with and never drive anything else. But that's just me.

[@ZING-oj6zi]

Basically the same truck I ordered... wish I would have seen this a few months ago. :(

[@broncofun5636]

I checked the website - it has a $5000 markup.

[@mikeh.9954]

Was this ordered by a customer or the dealership? I want this setup with this front bumper.

[@goodolbronco]

Take my money

[@kenxiong6830]

45k is not affordable

[@shiftymcgee9359]

Just checked their dealer website. Mark up is $5,000 on a base. Hard pass.

[@dgtol]

Never trust a sales guy

Darn it sold already :), Did you buy it?

Good ❤❤😂

Diesel?

[@pedrohizzle2835]

F yeah it’s good enough. If you can find one for msrp buy that immediately and flip that b!

[@edog92374]

Can the ford pass app remote starts the bronco

[@joshknudson6052]

not if it has the manual transmission, which is a bummer.

[@Evan_Land]

Anyone know how the Sasquatch drives vs 33” on Badlands?

[@joshknudson6052]

Sasquach drives excellent. very comfortable, and doesn't sway like Wranglers do. I love my '23 2door base sasquatch!

[@ellerybice3787]

Will you 🫵🏻 please define "Cool" in the context in which you overuse it? As far as I know, cool means a temperature that is less than warm.

[@WilliamPozo]

Man.. so much money but no remote start. Like the car but the legacies are crazy.

[@PabloCruise1]

You don’t need remote start! Snowflake.

[@wallywanker7435]

All start with the ford app. Not sure with a manual though. Honestly I don’t know if you can have remote start with a manual.

[@Sithari66]

@@wallywanker7435 you cannot. The app cant start it either as it sits in gear when parked. it would lurch forward and stall out.

[@wallywanker7435]

@@Sithari66 well thanks for stating the obvious, what if you leave it in neutral with the parking brake on ? Lol I just never really thought about it or cared. I have had remote start in almost all my cars the past 20 years and hardly ever used it anyway.

[@wallywanker7435]

@@Sithari66 just checked you can have a remote start installed with manual. I don’t think factory does it for liability reasons.

[@gothops154]

Good enough for the trails but NOT good enough for the price

[@2lopezd]

Screw their mark up they have!!!

[@PortlandOriginal]

Screw Ford and their dealers at this point. Subaru at least told their dealers that they would cut their allocations if they played these games, Ford has only encouraged it by nothing. I really want a Bronco but I will never buy a Ford at this point.
