I voted yes but it's not a negative yes. Everything Ford does causes me to re-evaluate this. Everything they do has the possibility to make this better for me or worse for me so whenever something new comes out surrounding the Bronco I re-evaluate things, make a mental note of where I'm at with...
I understand the budget aspect but it's not even just that for me. I do have a budget and I set a # I'd like to stay under and a # I set as my max to spend. I can spend more but I won't. For me, it's the message Ford is sending about who is important to them.
From what I saw in that e-mail...
That's a little bit better mpg than I expected. I'm expecting 16-20 out of the Bronco but whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be better than my '91 ram w250 at maybe 8-10mpg.
I haven't had any luck with Bison Ford in Great Falls. I've contacted them a couple of times and specifically requested they only email or text me as I work nights so they call me mid morning when I sleep and just sent a bunch of add emails instead of addressing my questions about their intent...
Ok, I get what you're saying now and it makes sense. Thanks for clarifying what you meant for me. I'll still make it known that I want the 2.7 with the manual. If we don't then they don't get the opportunity to at least know we want it and make it (I hope) available.
I honestly don't understand the point you're making in the 1st paragraph. Both the sasquatch and the 2.7 are upgrades that, at least initially, required an auto transmission. What's the difference in saying the sasquatch should've been available with the manual versus sinking that about the 2.7...
Despite how I may be coming off, I too am excited Ford has done this. It gives me a glimmer of hope for a future 2.7 with a manual and it sounds like a lot of folks are getting what they want. I really think it's great and am genuinely happy for all of you.
I have 2 issue with taking the 2.3 just to get a manual. The 1st isn't relevant for this discussion so I'll skip to the 2nd, resale value. I understand buying a new vehicle isn't an investment and I'll lose money on it instantly so the only real question becomes how much will I lose. Because...
Your excited about the mansquatch and it sounds like many others are as well and that's great. If that's what you really wanted I'm happy for you. But would Ford have made that available without the "complainers"? If we don't make our issues known then they don't at least have the opportunity to...
Not that it wouldn't have enough power but I feel that long-term reliability would be better with the larger and more powerful engine. I also feel that the 6cyl will hold it's value better. And from what I understand, the 2.7 is built more robustly than the 2.3, I like the idea of a more...
