What a lot of people forget is getting certain options from the factory (suspension, bumpers, etc) will protect your factory warranty. If you are one of those "ill just get it lifted later" or "go aftermarket later" folks keep in mind the risk to a warranty.

Your comment was refreshing. 15 to 20 years ago, my kids were car-seat age and I had a TJ, while my now-ex wife was using my Porsche 924S to get back and forth to work in. I'd have "Karen" types offer their unsolicited "Don't you think it's time you grew up and got a family car" comments in supermarket parking lots when out doing the shopping with my daughter. My daughter once set a "Karen" straight, responding to the unsolicited "don't you think its time to grow up and get a four-door family car" comment with "He can't sell the Jeep because it's part of the family, too." She went on to say "And as a family, we go places together and do things that other families without a Jeep can't do." A couple of years ago, I bought a four-wheel drive Xterra. My daughter was disappointed. "I was hoping you'd get another Jeep, so we could go some of those places we used to go." I've since bought a CJ 2A, and it was actually my daughter who found it and suggested I buy it. My sister and I grew up with a first-generation Bronco as our "family car." We didn't miss the four doors it didn't have. Anyhow, I agree with you and dislike the looks of the four-door Bronco (and Wrangler, too) and thinks it looks even more hideous with a soft-top.

@@jerroldshelton9367 What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing. I am looking forward to be doing the same with my kids. Enjoying it with them.

I prefer the look of the 2-door, but wound up getting the 4-door for the family dog. Definitely part of the family. I also enjoy the extra cargo room. 2-door is also only 4 seatbelts, whereas the 4-door has 5 seatbelts.

[@alphabaldy3473]

So I appreciate your opinion on most categories. However we differ on the Sasquatch package. When you look into the package and price building it yourself , it truly gives you more prospective. It is a complete axle and suspension change. By the time you buy all the parts and ( in most cases) pay to have them installed, you not only spent a lot but you lost your warranty

[@johnparker3028]

You and I share the same opinion…you obviously go off-road. I think his opinion is very accurate though…most people will never take it off roading where they could justify front lockers. Super cheap option for what you get!!

[@OnkelPHMagee]

Tommy, as a follow-up to this, how would your hypothetical Bronco compare in value-for-the-money versus the Wrangler that you special-ordered for yourself?

[@jasonbritton2298]

Had planned on ordering the Outer Banks, but my dealer had a Black Diamond to demo. After driving it, I'd recommend the Black Diamond over the Outer Banks, The vinyl seats are surprisingly nice and more durable than the cloth or leather. Standard off road capabilities are also good and the AT tires are standard. Overall you get more bang for your buck with the Black Diamond.

I found a 4 door 2022 Big Bend 2.3L with rear locker and aux switches, signature lighting and HD bumper but it's a soft top. It also came with hard and rug mats as well as a tailgate table.

[@Databyter]

I've gone back and forth and originally I was gonna do the Black Diamond, with or without Sasquatch (At first with, later a maybe). But I realized that really the non sasquatch Badlands is also a really good value. You get front and rear lockers, you get 33" tires which are pretty decent sized and spec'd and the biggest in the lineup except for the Sasquatch or Wildlands. You get the disconnect, which I could live without but hey, it's basically thrown in because you aren't having to upgrade to Sasquatch to get lockers, and a better suspension and skid plates and the modular bumper. You also get signature LED lighting front, and LED rear signals which are BRIGHT and good looking. So the more basic Badlands with the mid package, (or higher if you want 360 camera which is really cool). In short if you aren't gonna Sasquatch a Diamond, you are better off getting the Badlands trim with the mid or high package. If you don't need the front locker, don't care about 360 camera or signature LED lighting. Don't need a sway disconnect, then Black Diamond is definitely the way to go, especially non sasquatch with the smaller motor and 32" tires. This is going to get better mileage and still be fairly capable. You can always throw bigger tires on it later if you want to. But keep in mind you don't get the high end Bilstein position sensitive shocks unless you get the Diamond Sasquatched. You DO get them on the Badlands standard trim WITHOUT the Sasquatch. Which makes it a terribly good deal. They say the Sasquatch adds a bit of ground clearance on the Badlands, but I am guessing that the ground clearance comes from the tires, and not from any major suspension lift. Bilstein position sensitive shocks either way. So yea, if you don't need huge tires you might want to get a Badlands without Sasquatch, it's surprisingly affordable compared to a Sasquatched Diamond. 6 one way, half a dozen the other. For me, leaning towards the Badlands since it is top dog which should help resale, has the LED signature lighting which is distinctive, and has all the protection, bells and whistles, Sasquatch or not. Diamond is an excellent value, but somewhat more plain. And I know a lot of you that is what you are looking for, to save money. Good luck and good driving. Databyter

[@freedomsrt8]

To add sas to the badlands is like 2k or so. It was a no brainer for me.

[@Databyter]

@@freedomsrt8 yeah, then again, all you're gonna get is better wheels and tires and if you get the non sasq. Badlands you can sell your wheels and tires and buy an aftermarket which is perhaps more unique and better suited for you. 6 of one, half dozen of another. At the end I decided to go Non sasq Badlands just to have something a bit more managable on the road, slightly better MPG, and figured if I wanted I could always add bigger tires or beadlocks later. A 2 dr. manual Badlands 2.3 non sasq was what I was looking at when I finally settled on a build. It would have been badass and I may still get one down the road. But I ended up buying a Subaru Outback Wilderness this time around. Cheaper, Better MPG,. Better commuter and camper. I'll pick up a Badlands on the used depreciated market in a few years for 35K.

Sasq black diamond is cheaper by 2k+ than non sas badlands. If full LED and sway bar isn’t a big deal it’s a no brainer IMO.

Great video, Tommy. It's helpful to get the perspective of someone who thinks about this category everyday for a living. I agree with your reco on the Black Diamond. It seems to be the sweet spot that offers the best bang for buck. Still deciding on 2 door vs 4. Im a single guy with no kids but my practical brain is calling for four doors even though i prefer the aesthetics, and emotions that are evoked by the 2 door design! And while I'd prefer a manual, I think you've talked me into that mid package which requires upgrading to an auto. Cactus grey is the color for me ....reminds me of the retro Bronco's and it looks great with the black steelies that come standard on the Black Diamond. I don't need Sasquatch either since this will be my daily driver in Ohio. I'll happily save that $5k. However, if I were still living in California, I would probably go Sasquatch since there are so many opportunities out there to put it to use. In Ohio, I'd probably go off roading once or twice a year and no way in hell would I attempt rock crawling in my brand new, shiny Bronco! And I'd also add that tow package so I can haul my zero turn mower to my mom's place to mow.

I think you meant to say "Perfect dirt road set up" instead of "Perfect overland set up".

[@zachariahyager3115]

@@8654ZuluFoxtrot Nope. You’re talking about a purpose built vehicle. Big tires and extreme suspension for extreme trails. Overlanding is more an expedition set up. Long excursions where reliability is more important than extreme capabilities. It needs to be multipurpose where as a single big tired rig is a single purpose for extreme capabilities. You load those rigs with spare parts and tools. Smaller 33’ tires is more ideal for overlanding as it’s less wear. The Badlands comes with front and back lockers and disconnect sway bar. So all the good off-road needs without having to get wide 35’ tires. So again the perfect overland set up.

[@teramedia7333]

I think there are times where a different approach is necessary. For example: Need a four door with roof rails? That will limit your model, trim, and engine, so you need to research it from that angle. Need marine-grade vinyl seats? That too will limit your model. Have kids and want the whole suite of safety features such as emergency steering, BLIS, blue cruise (or whatever they call it), etc.? Then you need a certain model. My experience with the build-and-price tool, both for 2021 and 2022, is that it is very much like a puzzle: Choose "X", and you can't have "Y". Choose "A", "B", or "C", and you can't have "D". Sometimes, the tool will tell you. Sometimes, you simply won't see the existence of an option depending on the other choices you've already made. Given this, you need to figure out what your "must-haves" are first, and use that to guide your build decisions. For me, that quickly ruled out everything but Badlands. Your mileage may vary.

I order the badlands 4 door, 2.7, MIC top, eruption green, lux, tow with the sasquatch. I drove the Sasquatch at the Bronco Offroadeo in Moab on the Dome Plateau trails. The offroad capability of this setup is remarkable. There were badlands in our group on the 33s and they were capable, but had waaaay more rock rubs even on the 2 doors than the 4 door sasquatch were. I agree that the less than 2 inch clearance difference between the non sas baddy and the Badsquatch doesn't sound like much, but it makes a difference. So do the wider/taller 35 inch Sasquatch tires with regards to float and traction. Having done major offroad mods and lifts to many pickups and jeeps aftermarket over the years, there is no way to warranty mechanical issues you might run into with all that offroad driveline and suspension gear on your truck. Many hours of engineering and tuning by Ford went into the Sasquatch package. We need to try to remember that this engineering specific to this vehicle is what you are paying for, not just the gear itself. No aftermarket suspension gear will ever go through as many miles of testing.. the sasquatch package is designed so that the heavy bronco won't eat your tires due to altered alignment and geometry. It won't prematurely wear your driveline components, it won't change the spring rates/ruin your ride quality, and nobody can ever claim that your odometer is off when dealing with a warranty issue. It's worth the money unless you are going to flip your Bronco in 3 years. It's also worth the money if you're buying a bronco to do anything other than drive to a hiking trailhead. If you go to an OHV park of any type anywhere, get the Sasquatch and don't Mod it until after your warranty expires.

Honestly the 4 cylinder is more than enough for the elevation. I live in Wyoming and have a Big Bend edition. I find that the soft top is adequate to keep out the -20 temperatures as the heater in mine is very efficient.

[@billallen4793]

My daughter is considering a BIG Bend hardtop 4door, little engine, automatic, does it have enough power for towing a smallish trailer for dirt bike's, or 4 wheeler, small boat, type work. Her and my 1yr old grandson have out grown her Subaru impretza...from Wyoming USA 🇺🇸 🤠

I have a 2 door Badlands with the 2.3Lanual transmission. I jave had no issues driving in the mountain and tow my side by side with no issues. Looks a little silly, asy side by side is bigger than the Bronco. LOL

After these actually start rolling out more I bet the only ones you will see on the trails is base squatch 2 doors. That’s what I ordered as I think it’s the best bang for your buck without frivolous things that I personally don’t need as I’m currently driving a 1999 jeep Cherokee 2 door 5 speed

[@1Patient]

I just spec'd and built 5 of those new Broncos on Fords website, and all I added was Mid Package Key Pad locks and trailer package, they all came in at $55-64K monthly payments of $342 bi/weekly for next 7 years...like wtf!!?? I forget which one it was, but the Sasquatch model was cheaper by a couple of thousand with the better drivetrain and suspension.

[@greglane3978]

Order my black diamond like the one you ordered except. Modular bumper roof rack No bag for the rear roof panels. Deleted the factory hitch since they are running at about 1/2 of what they need for orders. This will delay your build. Already have my aftermarket hitch and OME wire harness in hand to install. Came in about the same on cost. Two aftermarket items to add. Leveling kit 1" Gas piston kit for th hood

[@Loyalwhiteknight]

Young Ford in Brigham City Utah is charging a "Market Adjustment" of $20,000 on their Broncos and $5,000 on Bronco Sports. It's ridiculous and people paying anything over sticker are fools in my humble opinion. Hence the saying "A fool and his money are soon parted". I tell those dealers to shove it up a particular orifice and I'll wait until there are plenty of them on the lots or find a dealership with morals and standards who's not out to screw their customer base.

[@Jkanderson1]

I went to the Super Ford in Salt Lake City and ordered one at msrp on Oct. 13. You can find a few websites with spreadsheets showing all the dealerships that don't markup. Super Ford in Salt Lake City being one and the Ed Kenley Ford in Layton. Those are the only 2 currently in Utah.

[@Loyalwhiteknight]

@@Jkanderson1 I was going to say that Ed Kenley in Layton isn't adding Market Adjustments but you covered that. Good to know that there are at least two dealerships in Utah that aren't greedy and screwing over their customers. Thank you for the reply.

[@markp.5618]

I've heard the cautions about dealer mark ups but wonder how common it is. I've not bought a Ford new for years, had no dealership loyalty, so picked a salesperson by positive reviews and mark up was not even an issue. Of course with order in, I'm still waiting.

[@Loyalwhiteknight]

@@markp.5618 That's awesome! You'll have to let me know how it goes and same, no dealership loyalty here although I will remember and only order from the ones who didn't "Market Adjust" their prices.

Yes, Layton is a lot less shady than Brigham City. If you are willing to be flexible where you buy your Bronco, the more likely you won’t get screwed over by mark-ups.

I don’t think it got mentioned, but it’s important to know that for Broncos like Black Diamond and Big Bend, you cannot spec it with a manual trans and the mid package. If you want the manual, the locking rear, AND the mid, you HAVE to go up to the Badlands. VERY frustrating.

[@CheekyTyke007]

No you don’t, you can spec the Sasquatch package on any model including base.

Stabilizer bar disconnect is another reason to go Badlands. I've ordered a 4 door Badlands w/ Sasquatch package but who knows when I'll see it.

[@duncanidaho2097]

Not mentioned is lack of cd player. Apparently scoffed at as being old school, but not all music is available digitally and it can be taken away at any time even though you paid for it. It happened to me on a baroque music album. Poof! Gone. Would have appreciated a bit slower delivery and a little more details on some options. Fi, washable floors I believe includes marine quality seat materials. Might be good to know. What colors are available for 2022? I guess I could Alphabet it but would be nice to dedicate 10 seconds to it. But I really appreciated your angle of selecting and spec ing out options.

[@whowho8470]

Ordered 11 months ago, 4-door sasquatch with hard top. I got notification from Ford I need to re order thru my dealership a 22MY which I did right away. For my re order I did soft top instead of hardtop. The email from Ford said if you order soft top it will speed up ur delivery time. I'm not willing to wait another year or who knows how long for a hardtop.

[@jaredn5720]

I would water it down even more than Tommy. Only 2 options I would recommend is a Base bronco with minimal options, or a completely stock Badlands. Tommy's Black Diamond build was $50 grand. That's Badlands territory

This thing looks so badass, but man, I'm gonna wait for a year or two, when they've ironed out all the kinks (so Ray Davies doesn't get mad).

[@JeepJL]

Disagree with the Sasquatch package being something to forego. The gearing, lockers, wheels and tires is actually a very good deal. If you are going off-road, and you should, you will eventually want bigger tires, and re-gearing the axles alone would be $2,000.00.

[@TFLtruck]

still disagree. the kind of off-roading most folks will do with their new expensive broncos even an open diff base would suffice. a want vs need argument -Tommy

[@rl9810]

@@TFLtruck Tommy, an inherent problem I see in these videos is that they assume everyone is broke and wanting to pinch pennies when they are buying a brand new vehicle. If you've got the money and are going to want these features eventually, the smartest money is to pay for them now and have the features now in a factory designed and installed system, with the commensurate reliability and resale value included. I get tired of seeing people claim that no one will want to take an "expensive" vehicle offroad when I see people with $100k plus in their Jeeps with them off road all the time.

[@JeepJL]

@@TFLtruck The open diffs would actually be better than the optional rear locker you recommended. Not even looking at off-road, but like most of the Wranglers out there, some will never see anything but the road, yet still have 35" tires. Opt for the locking rear diff only and you get a 4.27 axle ratio. With stock 28" tall tires. ANY tire upsize and you'll lose 10th gear on the highway. Go all the way to 35" and you'll likely lose 9th as well. So your 10 speed transmission is now only an 8 speed. There will be a large fuel economy hit, and very sluggish feeling Bronco. The Sasquatch package gives you those 35" tires, and the 4.7 gear ratio means you have all 10 gears on road, and a Bronco that won't feel like a complete slug off the line. If you buy a Bronco with the locking rear diff option (or even if you don't) you are going to need to spend at least $1500 for the new tires, $2000 to regear the axles so it at least drives decently, and a suspension lift to fit the tires under the vehicle. Probably another $2000. The Sasquatch package is just good value. You get the tires, suspension lift, decent looking wheels, fender flares that will keep it all legal, AND lockers for those that decide to take it off road as a bonus.

You can't get adaptive cruise-control on the Black Diamond trim-level, and you're limited to only the marine-grade vinyl seats. Those are the two reasons I went ordered the Outer Banks trim-level instead. (I ordered it in that new Eruption Green color -- I really like that color!) And I went with the soft-top because of all the issues y'all have had with your hard-top. Maybe Ford's supplier is making better tops these days, or maybe not. But the main reason I went with the soft-top is that I want the ability to put down my top all the way without having to remove it and store it somewhere. And, yeah, I went with the Sasquatch package, even though it's only going to be off the pavement like 1% of the time, LOL. It just looks *so* much better than the regular Bronco does, IMHO.

[@TheCapn23]

If you want your Bronco quick, order the soft top. I ordered a Black Diamond 4dr soft top in October 2021 and have a January build date.

[@thenecromancer6564]

I feelike when it comes to resell value, a bronco with the Sasquatch will value more. And if you only want the bigger wheel, the cost of lifting and big tires will probably cost the same. Thats why I ordered mine with it. Not gonna go off roading but just for the look it's worth the 5k.

[@johnlibby9355]

If you orderrt the Big Bend you can option the locking differential and still come in under the price of the Black Diamond...

[@libonation]

This right here. Those BD seats are sweat-inducing and sticky in the hot utah desert and less body hugging than the cloth seats. As a manual driver there’s not much the higher trims offer… especially when 33” tires fit well on the standard BB wheels. Plus the benefit of going from base to BB is at least it comes with AT tires.

[@SvRider512]

Antimatter Blue was my favorite color spec

Theyre all good choices as long as you get at least a rear locker. Plus, the 2.3 manual is cool in a 2 door with 33s max. If you want to go 4 door with at least 33s, the 2.7 and 10 speed are a huge plus. With 91 octane its pretty fast.

[@Justsayinguc]

When you take your Bronco off road or live on a dirt road the Vehicle throws rocks up so bad to the bottom of the door the door handles and the back flare over the wheels chips painted terribly. Mudd or snow sleet builds up so much on rear wheel flare you can't open rear door, and when you do the back door round over flare scraps off dirt, snow,road grim over the paint too!!! Ooof

Yup. 4A is great for normal roads in bad weather. Especially if people are driving who don't get how 4x4 systems work (like my wife, for example). Just put it in 4A and you can drive it anywhere without worrying about binding axles or anything. If you're offroad, you use 4H or 4L. I never use 4A offroad. Also an Expedition owner...
