New 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands, Sasquatch Package Rear Ends w/the Locker and Dual Clutch?

[GoHack]

Hi,

Does anyone know what the difference(s) are between the 2024 Badlands and the new 2025 Badlands w/the Sasquatch Package is, when it comes to their Rear Ends?

The Sasquatch Package is supposed to have a new Rear End, which includes a Locker, as well as having a Dual Clutch.

I just bought a new 2024 Badlands, but wanted the 2025 w/the Sasquatch Package, but cost savings prevailed w/the going w/the 2024 model w/the sales incentives and such.

Thanks!

The Bronco Sport Badlands and Bronco Sport Badlands Sasquatch both offer enhanced off-road capabilities, but the Sasquatch package takes it to the next level. The Sasquatch adds features like a twin-clutch rear differential, upgraded suspension components, and a more off-road-focused exterior.

Key Differences:

• Suspension:
  The Sasquatch package includes Bilstein rear dampers with remote reservoirs, upgraded springs for increased ride height, and additional suspension travel compared to the standard Badlands.
  
  
• Differential:
  The Sasquatch features a twin-clutch rear differential, while the standard Badlands has a more basic rear differential.
  
  
• Off-Road Modes:
  The Sasquatch adds Rally and Rock Crawl modes to the standard G.O.A.T. modes.
  
  
• Tires:
  The Sasquatch package comes with 29-inch all-terrain tires, while the standard Badlands has different tire sizes.
  
  
• Exterior:
  The Sasquatch package includes a front brush guard, steel bumpers, and more aggressive exterior design elements.
  
  
• Underbody Protection:
  The Sasquatch package adds more extensive underbody skid plates and bash plates.
  

In essence, the Bronco Sport Badlands Sasquatch is designed for the most serious off-roading enthusiasts, offering a more capable and robust off-road package compared to the standard Badlands trim.

Thanks.

I've already christened as you might say, my 2024 offroad on a general dirt road, playing around w/the settings and such.

I plan to go further offroad into the local back country, nothing aggressive of course.

Like I said, I was hoping to get the 2025 w/the Sasquatch Package, but w/the Ford Employee Package, some added other incentives for only the 2024 up to $2000, then the financing at only 3.9% vs. the 8.4 w/the 2025, I had to opt for the 2024.
Other than not having the Sasquatch Package, there's nothing wrong w/the 2024 Badlands that I bought. It's got the color I wanted, then it's got the smaller 8" Display on the dash vs. the "BIG" 13" on the 2025, which I don't like.
I'm happy w/my 2024 Badlands. ?

Does the 2024 have a rear locker, or is it simply a clutch style?

The Sasquatch Package is supposed to have a new Rear End, which includes a Locker, as well as having a Dual Clutch.

For clarity's sake, the twin-clutch is the locker and is standard equipment for 2024 and 2025 on the Badlands trim.

The Sasquatch package on the '25's adds:

Mechanical:
• HOSS 3.0 Off-Road Suspension
• Bilstein® Position Sensitive Dampers
• 850W Engine Cooling Fan

Exterior:
• Steel plated Rear Bumpers
• Brush Guard
• High Clearance Fender Flares
• Class II Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control & full-size spare
• Fender Tiedowns
• Recover hooks, (2) Front, (2) Rear
• 17” Ebony Black-painted Aluminum Wheels
• 235/65R17 All-Terrain (A/T) Tire

Interior:
• Aux Switches and Wiring
• Seats – Salt Crystal Inserts with Orchid Yellow Accents & Stitching

There's also upgrades to other suspension components that aren't generally listed in the marketing materials.

Nothing wrong w/the '24 Badlands I bought.

Can always trade up to a '25!

The Sasquatch features a twin-clutch rear differential, while the standard Badlands has a more basic rear differential. NO

The Sasquatch package comes with 29-inch all-terrain tires, while the standard Badlands has different tire sizes. NOT EXACTLY

Looks like you picked up some incorrect information, correct info is below:

‘21-‘24 Badlands
Twin-clutch 4x4 rear drive unit with electronically controlled on-demand torque delivery
- 4x4 Lock helps increase four-wheel drive performance by preventing the front and rear axles from disconnecting
- Rear Differential Lock feature takes advantage of the twin-clutch hardware to allow greater off-road performance, similar to a traditional mechanical locker

Regarding tires, the ‘21-‘24 Badlands could have been ordered with the optional Falken Wildpeak AT3w OEM tires:
Tire size 235/65R17
Overall diameter 29.1”

Google AI wrong info.

To me it looked like the AI picked up the 1.5L model info for some portion

I just bought the 2024 Tuesday.
I had to rush over to the dealer due to the expiration of the incentives on Tuesday.

Other incentives included a Free Extended Warranty, as well as a $250 Gas Card.

Look carefully at the free extended warranty details … most are not worth even free but perhaps you got a good one

True. I don't like aftermarket warranties. I only go with automanufacturer's extended warranties with online discounting, of course.

Some dealers of many brands here are giving free bull schit aftermarket lifetime warranties.

You're both right, but it does add a little over the standard one, and it is a Ford one.

Is the 2025 BS BL (no sasquatch package) higher than the 2021-2024 BS BL?!?!?!?!?!

Is the 2025 BS BL (no sasquatch package) higher than the 2021-2024 BS BL?!?!?!?!?!

I vote no but I have a 22 Badlands with the 0.5” taller 235 65 17

Dimensionally they're the same, AI hallucinations to the contrary.
