I also have a stick shift. But I would assume M (manual) mode works like every other Ford. You can cycle through the gears manually with the buttons on the side of the shifter. But, in theory, the computer still won't let you take it outside the safe operating range. Used it maybe twice in...

Important to note that Bronco uses brake fluid for the clutch, and feeds from the same reservoir. So, drive it too far, and the brakes are going to stop working, because it's bleeding fluid. Started in C, shifted to 2 to drive to the shop. Neutral and coast to a parking spot.

Yeah, considering upgrading to "Plus" now. But these are basically brand new vehicles we have (2020 and 2022). It's not like I'm still driving a 69 F-250. (though at least I could fix that myself)

I have AAA. You get free hook-up and 5 miles. Or the closest AAA shop. My mechanic is about 20 miles. Ford Dealer is 10. Lost a water pump on an F-250 halfway between Barsto and Needles. That was a free 100 mile tow because that was the closest shop. Independent shop around the corner...

Ok, it's not the clutch master cylinder. It appears to be some sort of hydraulic system adapter. Part number MB3Z-7A512-A https://www.oemfordpartsdirect.com/oem-parts/ford-hydraulic-lines-mb3z7a512a The cylinder has exploded and is leaking fluid. Dealer says it's not covered. Also they fix...

Yeah, looks like a $65 plastic part. Plus a bunch of labor since while I can see it, it's not actually easy to access. There is a repair shop around the corner from work, I can start it and drive it there in Crawl without a working clutch.

Got in the Bronco to drive home from work, clutch went straight to the floor, clunk. Under the hood is a small cylinder looking thing that appears to be in two pieces. Clutch Master Cylinder? It moves a bit when you move the clutch pedal. Anyone else have this issue. And does Ford...

People say this, but I'm not sure I have ever owned a car that got better gas mileage than the Bronco. A couple Mustangs were better on the Freeway, but worse in town.

Ford is pretty aggressive about recalls, but not a single one has been worth my time to even care about. Yesterday I got an OTA update to the infotainment system that is supposed to fix one of them. Remember, recalls have ZERO to do with reliability. They are due to "safety" issues that the...

When was that? I had a 65 Mustang with one side mirror. Had a 2nd one that had two side mirrors, but I think the second was was probably scavenged from a 66 or 67 because it didn't quite match. Didn't have backup lamps until 66 either.

My 69 F-250 had a manual choke. My little sister couldn't start it. Mom had to show her how. She still doesn't know what a choke is or does mind you, just "the little lever you have to pull out to start old cars"

Under 50k, with a stick shift, and this is VERY interesting.

I'm 53, and call the accelerator the "skinny pedal"

1 - this would totally grind my gears. 2 - Not realistic - other vehicle owners are jealous. 3 - Bronco gets the best gas mileage of any vehicle I have ever owned. (Mustang GT is slightly better on the interstate) 4 - Sounds like cope 5 - ahh, that would because I took the wife somewhere...

Main reason I bought the 2-door is how small and cramped the 4-door is from the driver's perspective. Especially with the short doors and the B-pillar jabbing you in the shoulder. Would love to have another 6-8 inches of wheelbase, commensurate cargo space behind the rear seats, and larger gas...
