The first one off the line will be an FE probably bound for a charity auction.

Right, and there's plenty for the enthusiast. You have a stick with a crawler gear available in all the packages, even in Sasquatch. And don't forget the power of marketing in creating an image. ;)

Really? It looks like the faded plastic that always happens on an XL F150 after about 5 years.

No, but the goal isn't to cater to enthusiasts, it's to sell a product to the most people. It's a lifestyle brand. Ford wants to make a Sport for your wife, a Bronco Sasquatch for you, and hats and t shirts for your kids. They want as many of these things on the street as possible and at the...

It's a vicious cycle, I know. But I think colors coming in and out of fashion is a little different. The transmission is a major drive-line piece and is heavily affected by technology. People will want the latest technology with their purchase, so you're less likely to see a manual come back in...

Maybe some color designer for Ford will be sipping their pumpkin spice latte and it'll hit them that they forgot to submit a green to the palette.

Hmm, I'm not sure most people are settling. The majority of people won't choose a manual because they don't know how to drive one or they don't want the hassle. A good chunk of these Broncos will never leave the pavement, so a manual is just an inconvenience. The dealer is just selling what will...

Real range and the infrastructure to charge it while out in that range.

The Bronco isn't going to be electric that soon. The F150 is the canary in the coal mine to see how well you can off road in an electric. It'll take time to process the data and make design changes for the Bronco...so you're probably looking at another 5 years.

Great, now B&P is going to be delayed another month while they render all 200 accessories in this new color. /s

Right? I thought about that the other day. If the S650 is really radical, we could see the S550 and previous generations go up in value.

That's why I think this is a bridge to get people used to the idea of electric and hybrids. Gen Z and Millennials have a weaker connected to N/A and big motors. The S650 will probably be a bridge to finally phase into a new market. They'll have the big block for the last remaining "purists", but...

Yes, my understanding is the Mustang is going to grow. Of course, I made that argument on Reddit and got down voted like crazy. But the Mustang does have room to grow on the C6 platform. If they do add AWD, I can't see it staying the same size or smaller. Plus it's advantageous to Ford because...

No doubt, and Ford going backwards (pushrods, for example) on the V8 tech is really telling. The whole modular DOHC revolution came about because they needed to squeeze more power and fuel efficiency out of the V8. But maybe with computers, smart automatics, and better technology (cylinder...

That's assuming that a manufacturer is allergic to price increases which they proven they aren't. haha I dunno, I struggle to see the V8s place in the coming decade. We've got looming regulation deadlines coming, so I think we're seeing car makers move the V8 upmarket to keep it viable. I just...

Tinfoil time... Oh, it is. That's why I wonder if the GT will be a hybrid while the base will still be a 2.3L. There's rumors that AWD could be coming to the Mustang. The GT could take on the role as the more luxury tourer with electric motors powering the front wheels with a 3.0L ecoboost as...

I think Ford is fully expecting there's going to be a substantial uptick in manual take rates because the 2021 Bronco is basically made-to-order only. The dealer orders will tell the real story...and thus the self-fulfilling prophecy will continue.

I'm wondering if the 6.8 will be locked to only the Raptor and GT500? That's alot of motor for something entry level. I've often wondered if Ford is going to move the V8 up market and only make hybrids and ecoboost for the lower trims.

Right? Talk about the ultimate troll on FCA. Oh yeah? TRX is a raptor killer? Let's add two more cylinders. Mopar was famous for their v10. Can you imagine ford making a TRX and Viper killer by putting a V10 in the Raptor and GT500?

Think they accidentally typed a 6 instead of a 4?
