Reason why no 2.3L Manual?

[Deleted member 10966]

Has anyone ever heard the reason why FORD "can't" do the 2.3 manual with Sasquatch

Shit you get profits by taking my money. They did so well to identify what jeep fails at and then limit this option. doesn't make sense to me.

The software element of the Sasquatch package is not compatible with a manual transmission so, presumably, the configurations management team is not willing to allow a new variant that does work with a manual since apparently they feel that it would go beyond the number of variants they feel is manageable at assembly.

TLDR; they don't want to.

Here's a fun paper I found:

Yeah but you'll just buy the automatic anyways and pay ford $1600 more than you planned. Ford wins

It’s hard to drink coffee, smoke a cigar and shift. That’s my reason.

The BL configuration IS a Sasquatch minus the tires, so offer those options (minus the disconnect to keep people interested in the BL), then its simply a matter of getting bigger tires.

I don't know, I see people reading the newspaper and applying makeup sometimes, maybe you just need to try harder ?

I do it everyday but my car is a mess! Def need marine grade vinyl and wash out floors.

or tldr; They did what we asked them not to do, made the offroad driveline too tech dependent.

The new manual transmission might not be rated to handle the power of the 2.7 engine. And could also require a stronger drivetrain. For example, the Jeep Wrangler JL comes standard with the heavier duty rear axle, when ordering the manual transmission. It's possible Ford didn't want the higher output 2.7 engine coupled to the manual trans, which also has granny gear to further the stress on the drivetrain.

The OP is talking about the 2.3 liter motor with Sasquatch.... but he forgot to mention 'with Sasquatch' in his thread title.
