Great post. My mom was an English teacher so I appreciate. Just to help your point, we have train "cars" pass through here daily...

Got a 4 door truck 12 years ago because of the kids. They'll be heading to college when the Bronco finally arrives. Can't wait to get back to a smaller 2 door.

Well, if Ford does something stupid, I'll keep my current truck until it decides to give up the ghost then I'll buy some boring to drive electric in 5 - 10 years. R.I.P. fun driving manuals

I'm set on a 2 door manual so I can't comment on pricing differences for 4 door autos but... If I can get conformation that there is no carpet anywhere in the BD*, that's what I think I'm going to go with. I'm happy with the value of $7500 for all the upgrades and I'd also get the tow package...

Yeah I think you figured it out. They want very much to say they meet or beat Jeep at all the benchmarks. 2 door base MT is a great deal (even/especially with aftermarket mods) and you can tell Ford doesn't want many to go that route. Really, no tow package option on base? Really? Really...

You won't have any problems with the MT and it will help you remember the drive more. Just the way our brains work. The more you move, the more of your brain you use, the easier to remember. This is a big boy toy. Get the MT and enjoy yourself!

I really wish this is what they will do. I can't think of 6 things I need for all the aux switches (and switches that do nothing big will drive me crazy) but if there were 2 or 3 filling the empty slots on the hero bar I'd be one happy camper.

I want a manual. I want removable doors and roof. I need 4wd and ground clearance. I don't want anything else. I know mechanically the base has all the capabilities I need. I don't want any of the extra creature comforts. Heated seats just make my ass sweat. I want the old school feel...

Couldn't we keep the window down to provide another layer of insulation in the door?

What's funny about this thread is that I don't drag race and close to 20,000 foot pounds of torque is way way more than the tires can apply yet I'd still buy the v6 manual in a heartbeat.

I'm with you. Electric motors have insane power and I prefer towing with a manual. Just was commenting that current batteries don't have the energy density to haul heavy loads long distances is all.

I've decided that automatics are pointless (for me). Give me a manual that's fun or I'll duck tape my current ride together for a few more years and wait for an electric. I'll never tow something more than 50 miles so their one down side doesn't apply to me.

2 door manual with removable doors and roof are my only must haves. White roof, tow hitch, few other things I'd pay Ford for but I'm not going to pay thousands more just for the privilege to buy things I can buy and install myself...

Good to know, thank you!

I have a fairly late reservation, mid August, and we won't know our approximate build date until well after ordering. I wasn't planning on adding anything that is late availability just in case. But if I get a build date past the late availability date, could I make a change?

Think of it this way. Yes with only 4 people they do work harder but they get the job done and you still have to buy pizza for everyone: 6 guys or 4 slightly hungrier guys...

Removable doors and roof, IFS, manual transmission. In short, my wife has the practical family car, this will be what we drive for fun on the weekends. That I'll get to drive it to work is a nice plus ?

Yes, +1 for highly desired.

Ahh, good news thank you.

I'm very disappointed that the tow hitch isn't available on the base model and the Big Bend model just doesn't have any features I want. Can anyone confirm that there isn't something fundamentally wrong with the base model that would prevent me adding one after purchase? Thank you!
