Its 40K for a manual or auto sasquatch in the base and the target market for a stripper is going to want a manual. Base 2DR rubicon, small lift, 33's. Base sas, same off road equipment as the rubi minus swaybar, small lift, 35's, worse interior, worse entertainment center, worse resale (in a normal world as base versions of any vehicle always have the worst resale). Off road the Base 2DR rubi on 33's still more capable, so no need for XR package if you're looking for a stripper starter rig.sasquatch on most models isn't really a great idea. big bend or black diamond or outer banks you're just better off getting a badlands without sasquatch than those models with sasquatch. badlands it's a $2500 35 inch wheel and tire package with a .43 inch lift. Most people would spend at least that on their own 35s and rims so it's actually not a bad deal, assuming you like the rims and dont want larger than 35s. But on base, it's a monster value.
But your 40k to 43k comparison isn't exactly apples to apples. for starters 40k base 2dr sasquatch is including an automatic, whereas your stripped rubi base isn't, so we're already up to 45k. Secondly the base sasquatch is once again more in line with the xtreme recon, which isn't available on a rubi 2dr, but if it were it'd still be a 4k package. so apples to apples it's 40k without a sway disconnect vs what would cost from jeep if available 49k with a sway disconnect.
Even adding the auto to make it 45K if you up the base bronco to at least have the basics (skid plates, etc) that come on the rubicon you're at 42K so its still a 3K. Ford did the porsche way of getting fake MSRP's, make EVERYTHING optional and quote that as the "starting" price. I'm sure if jeep did the same thing and dropped the rubicon to a the 5" uconnect, no floor mats, no skid plates, no side rails, they could probably get down to 40K advertised price too
