  1. Ford explains why no manual with 2.7L Bronco

    I agree, mating the 2.7 with the manual is not such a confounding problem that Ford’s engineering prowess cannot solve it. As you said the solution will cost time and money. Time, Ford will find between now and 2-3 years from now. As far as the cost/return on investment is concerned, this is...

  4. Ford explains why no manual with 2.7L Bronco

    I feel your frustration. Let us remember that this is the first year for the reincarnated Bronco and Ford is trying to please as many of us as they can. It’s a hopeless task!? There will be other options and derivatives and pairings of the drivetrain in the coming years and I am certain no one...
  5. Ford explains why no manual with 2.7L Bronco

  8. Ford explains why no manual with 2.7L Bronco

    I feel that when a manufacturer says they haven’t ruled something out for the future, most of the time they end up offering it. As an example when Porsche decided to offer the GT3 without a manual which they never ruled out for the future, there was a backlash from enthusiasts and now the GT3...
  9. Rethinking the 2-Door

    If someone has a large enough family with grown children who can all enjoy the Bronco together, thankfully there’s the 4dr. And properly attired it is very handsome! Reasons like a slide out tray or power seats are not particularly convincing at least for me. And as far as the argument for...
  10. Extended warranty - Yea or Nay?

    Extended warranty is a great idea when purchasing a used vehicle but not necessarily as important for a new one unless you’re keeping it for longer than the manufacturer’s warranty period.
  11. Ford explains why no manual with 2.7L Bronco

    Only 41 or 13% of the 327 car models sold in the US in 2020 are offered with the manual transmission. That is down from 37% less than a decade ago. Shockingly, by 2018 only 18% of Americans were capable of driving a manual and that percentage is definitely lower now. The automatic...

    If the 2.3/manual pairing sells well the 2.7/manual offering in the future has a better chance.
  13. Ford explains why no manual with 2.7L Bronco

    The good news is that the reason given is NOT an engineering problem with pairing the 2.7 with the Manual but rather a marketing decision. Importantly they do not rule out a 2.7 with manual in the future.

    They can put together 300 in half a day or half a week, it’s still the experience of putting together that many number of vehicles. Experience is experience.?
