Yahoo Autos Here's What the $29,995 Base Ford Bronco Gets You
The 2021 Ford Bronco is here and, as is tradition, all of the press photos feature loaded-up models that cost $20,000 more than the advertised base price. If you want to know what $29,995 actually gets you, here's what comes standard.
First thing's first, you're not getting a four-door Bronco for the under 30 large. Pricing for the Bronco four-door starts at $34,695, a sizable jump. That price also includes the base powertrain, which is the 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that makes 270 horsepower in this application. Power goes to a seven-speed manual transmission with a crawler gear. All Broncos also include four-wheel drive as standard.
You'll be able to spot base Broncos by their black grilles with flat black "BRONCO" lettering. Two-door Broncos also come with the hard top, though it can be removed along with the doors. Plus, the bright polished steel wheels are a dead giveaway.
On the technology and convenience front, you're still getting an 8-inch infotainment display with Sync 4 and over-the-air updates. But you're not gonna get adaptive cruise control, heated/cooled seats, the upgraded sound system, or remote start. Seats are cloth and manually adjustable. The little details—like the slide out cargo tray and rear bottle opener—also come on every Bronco.
Perhaps most importantly, you'll be able to option the Sasquatch Package. That's the Bronco's must-have option, which takes it from a pretty capable SUV to a full-on monster. As the big-footed name alludes to, it brings gigantic 35-inch mud-terrain tires to replace the base model's 30-inch all-terrains. You also get upgraded, position-sensitive Bilstein dampers, locking differentials at the front and rear, a 1.2-inch lift, fender flares, a shorter final drive ratio, and beadlock-capable wheels.
Sure, it may not come with the stabilizer disconnect or rock rails of the Badlands, but with the Sasquatch package, you're getting 90 percent of the Bronco's maximum capability with just one option box. And since you're never going to turn a truck like the Bronco into a full luxury vehicle anyway, it seems like the lower trims with the Sasquatch Package and manual transmission may be the way to go.
Trust me, you don't need leather seats to have fun.
