Why the foul language?

Exactly. As soon as I saw that automatic, I closed the browser window. And $60K? That's insane.

As an older tall guy, I agree with your qualified assessment!

That's what I was thinking: the low-pressure fuel pump. That would happen with a manual transmission as well (without the message). I think there was a recall or service note on that. Notably: the problem is most apparent with high heat, and is likely tied to addressing vapor lock.

Agreed - something is wonky about that assessment. That the ride and tracking on roads is superior in the Bronco, because of its independent suspension, is a pretty universal assessment. I'd say something else is going on: notably wheelbase (4-door or 2-door), tires and/or shocks.

Easy: The Bronco. The Ranger is not available in a 2-door configuration.

I wonder why the question "Who actually off-roads their 7MT?" was even asked. The vast majority of Bronco Internet content out there excludes the MT in the context off-roading. The OffRoadeo training excludes the MT entirely. Perhaps there is an element of incredulity in the question?

That's a good point. YouTube is full of videos quoting studies where Gen Z are snapping up and driving older vehicles, and are already outpacing boomers in driving them.

It is truly innovative - and very cool - but one of the big reasons why the authentic manual transmission is so good is because of its simplicity. To layer on top of any form of automatic the software and hardware to simulate the manual experience isn't what a seasoned manual driver is looking...

Exactly. It's one of the reasons why we only see white and black (or some shade of grey) vehicles on dealer lots.

Agreed. I put over 150K on a 2012 JK with a PentaStar and never experienced that problem, but there WAS a serious problem with the valve needle bearing in the port side head that required a head replacement - damaged the cam as well. The PentaStar was better in the Wrangler than the old...

Oh Jeez. Take your shot boys. They're already racked up...

Awesome. Some of the finest people I know drive 2-door Velocity Blue Broncos.

He sure talks too much in this video. He derails his guest constantly and yabbers away about Mustangs and other unrelated stuff.
