Listening to reservation-holder feedback, Ford is expanding the availability of its high-performance off-road Sasquatch package to all-new Bronco two- and four-door models with a class-first 7-speed manual transmission.
The increased availability of the Sasquatch package also makes the Ford Bronco the only 4x4 with a 7-speed manual and 35-inch off-road tires in its class.
While other brands save their best hardware for premium series models, the Bronco is making off-road capability a priority across every two- and four-door trim level with the available Sasquatch package.
Checking the Sasquatch box adds class-first 35-inch Goodyear mud-terrain tires mounted to 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, Dana front and rear electronic locking axles with 4.7:1 final drive ratio, and high-clearance suspension with a nearly two-inch wider track, position-sensitive Bilstein shocks and wider fender flares.
Sasquatch package will be available across the lineup, including Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond Outer Banks, and Badlands. It is standard on Bronco Wildtrak and First Edition models, while the Badlands series with available Sasquatch package and standard semi-active hydraulic front stabilizer bar disconnect results in the ultimate Bronco rock crawler.
The manual transmission with Sasquatch package is targeted to be available in late 2021. That’s a long way to go but Ford will sweeten the wait with the launch of the 2021 Bronco’s build and price site in October. Ordering begins in December, with production and deliveries expected to begin as early as March 2021 and June 2021, respectively.
