I was going for the 2.3L, Manual, non-Sasquatch Badlands even before the reveal of no ManSquatch or Manual 2.7L. I have need of both lockers and the upgraded transfer case with 4A but not 35" MTs. The disco is a nice feature but I likely won't use it very often.
I intend my bronco to be able to get me anywhere on the ranch when it is wet so both lockers are a must. I would prefer the upgraded transfer case so I can use the 4A mode. I am also 100% manual so the Mansquatch option will determine if I can come down from the Badlands. Pricing is going to...
I had a Scion FR-S with Manual and Cruise. That car had little low end grunt so cruising at low RPM could be a bit of a challenge on a big hill. Small hills had no more effect than you would see in an Automatic. The trip I took most often had a 6 degree slope at one point on the trip and I...
Some of us want a 2 door with no back seat and Ford won't even do that.
The question becomes how many would buy a fixed top model and is that enough to justify scavenging sales from the existing model and still make profit on both models?
If I am "driving" (manual), I pay attention and perform better. When I am "operating" (automatic), I fall prey to distractions and drive like people I hate. I don't want to self-loathe anymore, going to be a manual for me.
I have driven on race tracks in my old FR-S and out ran vettes, cameros and mustangs so I do in fact know how to drive.
I drive two lane, rural highways every single day. Here in Texas, passing on the shoulder when someone is turning across traffic is legal on an improved two lane road. In...
Why can't I, a person who takes pride in my driving skill, get a high/lux package without nannies enforcing it's programming on my abilities?
Again, I am not saying the nannies are bad, I am saying they are wasted on me and I would rather not pay for them only to turn them off. Will they stop...
And I argue that the nannies promote bad driving. If you have something doing the work for you, you will rely on technology rather than improve your skill.
Look at hunting, when I was young it was a fancy rifle that had a scope and hunters sat on tree limbs and followed game trials to find...
I am not saying they should not be available, I am saying that they should be in their own package so I can avoid them and not pay for them. It is stupid that I have to accept all the nannies when all I want is the nice stereo and screen with 360 view.
I agree. I am not a huge fan of anything trying to take over responsibility for driving and I really hate the "package" system that forces unrelated features to be purchased together. The one exception is traditional cruise control. Now if those nanny's came with a NASCAR mode, I might change...
