People are "going with the 2.7 more because some people believe the chant, "no one ever said I wish I had less power". I've bought the mid range or small engine several times in my life, and know I'm not the average. The average person on this forum orders a LOT of things I don't believe in...

I picked the manual transmission over getting the bigger engine. The manual was higher priority to me than a few more horsepower. Plus, I didn't see it in the MPG specs, but I always get a few MPG better than what they list, IF I get a stick. The tired line "no one every asked for less...

So much subjective opinions on aesthetics expressed assertively. Using extreme language and snarky smug comments doesn't mean you're right (you are assuming everyone will agree with you) I like the shiny painted top. Looks are a secondary concern for me anyway. I picked the modular because...

If Bronco Alternator or seat cover suppliers can't keep up, they would go to another vendor. What's so hard about making composite tops that other suppliers can't do? Nothing. Get a few more companies making them.

Again - Ford can easily fix the low productivity of Webasto the way military contracts are ensured: GET A COUPLE MORE SUPPLIERS making tops. Webasto doesn't deserve "sole source" status if they can't get in gear. Let 2-3 other companies make them too, at the same time. FORD - are you...

It's not a daily driver for me, but a go to town on the weekends, or go out in the field vehicle. Both will be on secondary roads, about 60 MPH. With the stick and 2.3, I should get excellent mileage.

OK, fixing this is easy for Ford. Who said it has to be Sole Source? When you have a supplier that can't deliver, you get another, or 2 more suppliers. There are still plenty of aerospace companies around America that would like to pick up a contract to make 50,000 Painted Modular Tops. It's...

It's exactly what I expected them to report for the 2.3 on a Big Bend. Now with my 7 speed manual, and the way I drive sane, I can feel confident I'll get 25 MPG. It is as I planned - enough power, enough fun, all purpose truck. Not an extreme rock crawler only vehicle that gets horrible...

Definitely stopped watching after 10 seconds and the 3rd time the watermark scrolled across. I'm a content developer, I understand not wanting people to hack your content. But you can copyright the video and achieve the same purpose, without ruining the viewing. I don't like closed captions...

It's already been shared on several posts, and can be found easily with some googling on the Getrag site. Please learn to search before firing off.

Lots of hyperbole and alarmism here: A. Assuming the 60 transmission won't be "scalable" or upgraded in ways for the Bronco, when the spec sheet says it is scalable. B. Using scary words like "minimum" when engineering seldom will use radically MORE capability than needed. If the 60...

I remember towing horse trailers with several friends, thousand of lbs behind each truck. My friends RAM started acting funny and when we got to the parking lot at the trail head in the Gila National Forest, it was barely moving. He lost his automatic and had to have it sit waiting broken down...

To the people that say "pick either and just drive", that's not helpful. This isn't as subjective as "what color looks best?" threads. In this thread I'm talking about someone (me) that keeps vehicles years and years, often decades. I don't flip to the next new thing before the new car smell...

Yeah, the other thing about 10 gears is each is smaller. And all the computer controlled shift points and GOAT mode sending the auto signals seem to be failures waiting to happen. Kind of like a fly-by-wire airplane controls, they are great when they work. Not so much when they fail. I had...

I also picked the manual for the fun of shifting, and I don't commute so there won't be any stop and go highway gridlock, just country roads and long trips. I liked that it's cheaper too. And I expect to get a little better gas milage.

I've had manuals most of my life, including one in the Super High Output Taurus back in the 90s. That one did wear clutches pretty fast, but it shifted nice and I sold the car with 200,000 miles, still felt like new. I had a 1964 Falcon Sprint with a Getrag 4 speed, that always shifted nice for...

My hypothesis is automatics break more often than standard transmissions. That was the case after the muscle car era when we were driving them 10-15 years old. It was the case with the early Japanese era (Datsun 210s, etc). It was the case in the late 80s-90s American cars. It was the case...

This looks like a thin argument on this site. A lot of "people on other sites have said..." and "while there aren't any recalls or problems, watch out...one day there MAY be..." type statements. A few negative comments (per capita) are not uncommon on public comments. I've read reviews of my...

"... the company tells us that limit can go all the way up to 590 lb-ft, depending on application..." https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a33301752/2021-ford-bronco-manual-transmission-specs/ Automatics typically have expensive breakdowns. Manuals need cheap clutches if you don't drive well.
