All valid points, but ProCal does keep the factory warranty

Only if you have a Certified Ford Tech install it .

I just got back from a trip to Moab with my 2 door 7MT Badlands. It has always been great on any off-road trail. It is fun to drive on road too. I've always kept a manual transmission vehicle in the stable. The Bronco replaced a Boss 302.

I plan on keeping it forever but if I was going to get a Bronco with an automatic, it would either be the Stroppe or a HLE in two door configuration.

We have similar tastes. I also have a BOSS 302 (1970), and the 2-door HLE is the other Bronco model I would consider.

I’ve had the opportunity to own the BIG BEND 2.3 and loved it but I traded it in on a Stroppe. It’s more of a classic Look with history of a great racer. I added the keyless door entry and tow package along with the tuning pro tuner And the power is impressive when I use it plus it gives me great mileage,I’m currently at 19.4 mpg .. I would go with the Stroppe. Good luck. You will enjoy either one

If you only plan to do highway driving, the AT is fine. For everything else, it sucks, because, Ford, in their infinite wisdom, decided to F'up Select-Shift for the Bronco. I have the 10AT, and now wish I had the MT for this reason.

So, if you plan to drive on something other than 4 lane expressway, go with the MT.
