Ford's Sasquatch package debuted on the 2021 Bronco as an easy way for buyers to maximize the off-road capability of their vehicles. Now for 2025, the Sasquatch package has made its way to the lighter-duty Bronco Sport.

Who Is the Sasquatch Package Designed For?

The Sasquatch package delivers many of the exciting features buyers are looking for in an off-roader, including oversized tires and a high-performance suspension, along with a number of additional off-road options.

These features combine to make the Bronco and Bronco Sport better suited for traversing rugged trails than their non-Sasquatch counterparts. Larger tires enable the vehicles to navigate rough and washed-out roads more smoothly, while improved suspension means less driver fatigue over long distances on dirt.

The additions brought by the Sasquatch package do add weight and diminish aerodynamics, however, which reduce fuel economy. Therefore, the Sasquatch package makes the most sense for buyers who are looking for added style and off-road capability and don't mind sacrificing a bit of fuel efficiency.

Sasquatch Adds 35-inch Tires and Locking Diffs to the Bronco

For 2024, the Ford Bronco Sasquatch package comes standard on Wildtrak, Everglades, Heritage, and Heritage Limited Edition models and is optional on Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, and Badlands trims. On trims where it isn't standard, pricing for the Bronco Sasquatch package ranges between $5,000 and $8,500, depending on the trim level. Opting for the package's beadlock-capable wheels adds another $1,000.

Bronco models equipped with the Sasquatch package get an enhanced 4x4 system that engages automatically when it senses slippage, plus a 4.7 final-drive ratio that is well suited for low-speed crawling. Locking front and rear differentials are another selling point.

A high-clearance suspension and taller fenders, along with position-sensitive Bilstein shock absorbers, make for a more planted ride, while unique 17-inch wheels and 35-inch mud-terrain tires add traction and reduce the risk of puncture while driving off road.

Sasquatch Gives Bronco Sport an Outdoorsy Edge

New for 2025, the Bronco Sport Sasquatch package is available on the Outer Banks trim for about $3,500 and the Badlands trim for about $3,000. While no Bronco Sport can match the regular Bronco's off-road capability, the new Bronco Sport Sasquatch package makes the compact crossover considerably better suited to rough forest roads.

Bronco Sport models equipped with the Sasquatch package gain position-sensitive Bilstein shock absorbers and larger tires, though the Bronco Sport's tires have a 29-inch sidewall, which is still considerably smaller than the 35s that come with the Bronco's Sasquatch package.

Items unique to the Bronco Sport's Sasquatch consist of a version of Ford's upgraded Hoss 2.0 off-road suspension, cooling components, steel-plated rear bumpers, a brush guard, high-clearance fender flares, a Class II trailer tow package with included trailer sway control, fender-mounted tie-down points, and front and rear recovery points.

Moving inside, the Bronco Sport's Sasquatch package adds upgraded upholstery and pre-wired interior auxiliary switches that take the place of the overhead sunglass holder and allow for powering aftermarket accessories. The Bronco Sport Sasquatch also gains an all-important full-size spare tire for added peace of mind when you're further into the wilderness where a flat tire is more likely than on a run to the coffee shop.
