I agree that configuration would be best for off-roading/rock-crawling. The 2.7 automatic might be better for desert running.

Available information online indicates the MT88 transmission is “likely” to be manufactured/assembled in China. It has not been officially confirmed. From the other Getrag transmission thread: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/getrag-transmission-english-or-british.5423/ (From Car and...

Well, I’d have preferred they gave the job to American workers.

Yes. Just listing some of the current public information that’s out there. There is nothing printed about the MT88 being British made that I saw.

Has nothing to do with dislike or prejudice against the Chinese people(xenophobia). Maybe a bit to do with distaste for the Chinese government. Personally, it has to do with previous poor quality control of Chinese transmission manufacturing and jobs that could have been done in the USA.

From Car and Driver: “The Bronco's seven-speed manual is a Getrag unit, part of the company's new family of six- and seven-speed longitudinal manuals that it calls MTI550.” “Ford calls this new seven-speed transmission MT88.” From Wall Street Journal: “Based in Untergruppenbach, Germany, Getrag...

Hey. It was just a response to the “Getrag transmission” thread. I’m getting a Bronco and have no “requirements,” other than certain features I prefer, but I likely won’t be getting a manual transmission assembled in China.

I prefer a white top mainly for more heat reflection when the SoCal sun beats down on it. The black top will absorb heat and contribute to turning the interior into an oven. Just last week:

More cryptic Twitter crap from Ford’s “product communications manager.” Not helpful at all. Is this something that’s going to be available for 2021? Focus on getting the 2021 Broncos out and give us some actual information. Nice picture but it’s useless without knowing anything else about it.

Sounds like the 10R80 auto transmission for the Bronco is Made In The USA. At least assembled in USA... From fordauthority.com: “The Ford Motor Company Sharonville Transmission plant is a transmission manufacturing facility located in Sharonville, Ohio, United States. Established in 1958...

(....Except for the Chinese-made transmission). sorry. couldn’t resist.

Petty and disappointing on the part of BroncoNation/Ford. Holding a media/public event and trying to prevent information from getting out is counterproductive. Gotta shake my head at this. Another poor business decision by Ford if they’re paying for the BroncoNation “service.” I considered...

Pineapple Pizza tonight!

Thought they would have corrected the “Mut”/ruts by now...

Yeah, it’s disappointing to see the manual transmission will “likely” be manufactured in China. It’s not written in stone yet though. The transmission is engineered in Germany and Gertrag has manufacturing plants elsewhere throughout the world.

14. What is the max roof load? 110 dynamic, 450 static. I’d be reluctant to use a rooftop tent with these numbers. ⛺️ Weight of tent plus two adults would be cutting it too close IMO.

In response to @Dads_bronze_bronco question: “Will the 7MT be manufactured in China?“ From Jalopnik: “Profiles for employees at the Getrag Jiangxi facility in Nanchang, China show that they are working on a project that is coded MT-88, which is not surprising as they contributed to the...

Not the best place for those bicycle tires. Would not be comfortable driving for very long. Looks like there is room in back along side the bikes though.
