@JWBroncoATL Manual or automatic?

I drove the manual at the Austin Off-Roadeo and loved it. Day 1 in an automatic. Day 2 with the manual. Completely confirmed my selection. At first I thought that I'd be missing out on features (one-pedal driving, trail control). But after driving the manual, I wasn't missing any of that. Put it...

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I didn't mean to say that big dealers are getting stock units sooner *yet*. But that is what's on track to happen, that's what I meant when I said "at this rate." Some of the smaller dealerships with incentives and lots of reservations will still be fulfilling...

I don't disagree with what RG7 said, but back to the earlier post by goatman: I think that the dealerships that offered the invoice pricing do have *some* small regret because they (like us) still believed Ford when Ford said that all reservations would be built before any dealer stock. They...

You don't need a different agenda. They demo all the features early in the program. You don't have to drive the same Bronco both days. And even with all automatics there are still differences (some with sway bar disconnect, some without it). I'd still go, but I was really happy that I got a...

VB fan here, happy that my color is not on the chopping block. Sorry to read what others are going through--all for a green that clashes with almost every interior and an unneeded & unwanted red. Anyway, I had mixed reactions as I read this. NOOOOOO!! Shut your mouth! Oh wait, there was...

Completely agree. I thought the same thing and I've already told several friends that I'll teach them on the Bronco. Sometime in 2022. :(

Not sure you'll need to push to disengage all that often. From the manual, page 198, something that caught my eye: ============================================= AUTOMATICALLY RELEASING THE ELECTRIC PARKING BRAKE 1. Close the driver door. 2. Shift into gear. 3. Press the accelerator pedal and...

To be fair, there are a lot of idiots out there driving any type of vehicle....

In my opinion, you won't be missing *anything* in terms of driver's aids by getting the manual. You're getting the stuff you need with Badlands (or Sasquatch). Maybe you'll miss a little power and torque by not having the 2.7, but the 2.3 was just fine, truly. The low gearing in a manual...

Ah, but there's a catch. I'm not from Atlanta originally. I've lived here for 15 or 20 years now, but I'm still not used to the heat. I'm from a much colder place originally, I'm a Yooper (look it up).

I should add.... As someone new to this, I drove over things I thought a vehicle had absolutely no business driving over. The Bronco made us all look like far better drivers than we really were. It was great fun.

Just got back from the Bronco Off-Roadeo in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, about an hour west of Austin. I highly recommend going! First day was really hot, maybe 93 or 94, and humid. Not “Houston humid” (I hear it’s *really* humid there), but just normal humid. Bring hats, sunscreen, water, whatever...

Remember, it's not how big the clear area is. It's how you use it. Or so I've heard....

I don't think it's crazy at all. In my world some electrical switchgear comes with strip heaters to keep condensation out of the equipment. They are often rated at 240 V, but run on 120 V control power. Purely for longevity reasons. You pay for overly robust heaters, or you waste time...

Funny you mentioned that. As it happens, I have a colonoscopy scheduled for Monday so this is perfect timing for that!

Oops, typo. CB1000R. Not the CBR1000RR. I'll see if I can edit my post. I'd love the CBR1000RR, but my wrists wouldn't during normal riding. I also don't want that much plastic on my next bike.

Yeah, I haven't done too much research on dual sports, I'm sure the KTM is a blast. Back to the main question, "fast" is all relative. How much power do you need? I've hit the top speed on both the SV (on the track--while being passed like I was standing still by liter bikes) and the VFR...

It boils down to: I want something fast, without too much plastic. Or I want a dual sport.

If I don't get the Bronco soon enough, my Plan B involves one of the following. Still need to decide, and still open to other options. My '95 Integra will have to hold down the fort for a daily drive for a bit longer (sold the BMW). BMW S1000R...
