Had a 10 year run with Ford. It's possible he wanted to move on and Ford was willing to cut ties to save some cash. That or Farley wants to free up some cash flow for taking on the Le Mans even though Ford said they would be done with it.

I'd be more worried about the frame and other metal components rotting out if you live in the salt belt USA before the motors die. Not so much an issue in California where your profile says you are, but you'll have other issues when CA decides no more gasoline engines.

Opinions are like a**holes, everyones got one

Let’s play the fun game of “Where do we think the frame will rot out in 20 years?”

What gives you the impression it looks bad and heavy?

Overall no, but probably will wear quicker than an appropriately strengthened piece of metal but as they say “Potatoes are the Irish tomatoes”

I didn’t see anyone mention this but you need to consider the axle strength. Badlands I believe has the M220 (or Dana 44*) whereas the lower trims have the M190 I believe. Going to want a stronger axle to move that rotating mass in my opinion. Could always be the first to do an axle swap though ;)

Occam’s Razor

Seems Ford made a one trick pony with the commissioning of the 7MT then.I bet we won’t see it survive the first few model years then as the 2.3L becomes out dated.

Cyclone Engine Wiki Either way, point being that it’s an engine that is still in production use for other vehicles that has been paired to a manual and would satisfy the crowd that wants a manual V6. Now IF it can be paired to the 7MT is another story...

Not sure about the 3.7L cyclone but I imagine they had some better engines they wanted to slap in the platform. Wikipedia says it was used from 2011-2017 on the Mustang. It’s still used in a lot of products including Lincolns and the current police interceptor.

3.7L Cyclone! If it’s enough for the V6 Mustang it’s enough for the Bronco! Edit: Police Interceptor has it with twin turbo.

Estaban mentioned that they physically would not fit since the slide out tailgate raises the floor enough that the doors would hit the sports bars in the back.

I’ve just got 1 build. 4Dr BL, MT, MIC, Lux and tow package. If it comes it comes. If not, then I’m not 54k poorer.

Ford’s CEO has stated that they don’t want to lose as much money to recalls anymore so they are putting the onus on suppliers to provide quality parts or pay up to 50% of the recall fees up front. I believe Farley has also held back some first run 2021 F150s because they weren’t perfect. With...

Here’s a curve ball... What if you dealer goes out of business after you order your bronco but before delivery?

Yeah it would be nice to test that out. I'm afraid all of these will be autos though :(

As with everything in business, this simply comes down to cost. There aren't enough people who drive manual to warrant the R&D dollars to implement a system like this. Could they? Absolutely. Will they? Most likely never as the manual dies off and becomes a unicorn. Which makes me sad I might...

I don’t think the 2.7 will be paired with the manual but if I end up with a 21 and that happens I will be a sad panda
