Bronco Sasquatch has largest footprint in its class with 35-inch tires

MANILA: It may not yet be in the market, but Ford is already customizing the Bronco based on customer feedback, and their latest response is the addition of the high-performance, off-road Sasquatch package to two- and four-door models with a class-first seven-speed manual transmission.

“The Bronco community spoke and we heard them. Our team moved quickly to add Sasquatch with a manual transmission — another example of our focus on giving customers the best possible off-road vehicles and accessories that we can,” said Ford Bronco Consumer Marketing Manager Mark Grueber.

By including the Sasquatch package to the lineup, it makes the Bronco the only 4x4 with a seven-speed manual and 35-inch off-road tires in its class.

Aside from giving in to what Bronco fans and off-road enthusiasts want, Ford is also aiming to make off-road capability a priority across every two- and four-door trim level with the available Sasquatch package.

The Sasquatch package comes with 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.

It will be available across the Bronco 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.

“Capability is always a priority, and pairing Sasquatch with a manual transmission and available advanced 4x4 system gives it a maximum crawl ratio of 94.75:1, providing even more off-road capability across the line-up,” said Ford Icons Global Director Dave Pericak,.

Ford estimates that the manual transmission with Sasquatch package will be available in late 2021.
