Does anyone have the Sasquatch option pricing?
I've only seen estimates so far anywhere from 5-10k. honestly the tires alone are going to be a 1-2k option let alone the large amount of other goodies.
I’m kinda hoping it will be less than that if they really want to attack the jeep market.

I think just the tooling requirements, parts, production lines, all the logistics of doing it will necessitate doing so in that time frame. I think they'll be better off. If the bronco proves itself in capability and "reliability" it will really start to take off i think in the year 2-4 of release as a large majority isn't going to buy the first year release model. Plus you'll need something to re-energize the market after its been out for roughly 4 years already anyway and that would be just the ticket. No need to blow your whole wad if you will out of the gates.

Would love to see this come to Australia but Ford Australia says no plans for it. Plus I would be wanting it in Diesel.
I was wondering why Andrew White hasn't done a video yet on it. But I also bet Ford will do a diesel and V8 to compete with Jeep, hoping!

Ford's 7.3l should fit. It'll snap every single part under a Bronco, but I'll bet that it'll fit. If Jeep's going to get frisky with V8's, they might still lose that battle. Honestly though, the 2.7l Ecoboost is plenty.

Dry sumped, it's going to be a hardcore musclecar engine. 600+ HP naturally aspirated.
