That's not inherently true across the board. Many of my customers have brought tooling back to NA for new product launches, including one of my tooling divisions, has been hammering out new steel for OEMs in record numbers. This goes for many automotive manufacturers. China steel isn't as cheap...

Classic folley in Automotive Manufacturing. Get China tooling with China prices, then you get China-level service when it all goes wrong, and rely on people on the other side of the planet to rapidly respond to issues. Ugh, just another story in the industry. Can't wait to reshore our suppliers.

2.3L w/ 7 speed. Reason: I cannot picture the manual transmission sticking around in the industry for much longer. Hell, after 6 years with the Bronco I doubt you will be able to pick up a stick shift in the next gen Jeep or Bronco. This might be the swan song of the new stick-shift SUV. I'm...

This is the content I come for. True poetry!

Got it as-well. Have a MIC with an 'in-store order' tag since February (although was slated to receive MOD top up until the latest delay to 2023).

I personally have loved it in every picture, but what I didn't realize was just how HUGE it was in person. That alone makes it very difficult to judge it based on pictures alone, but I can see your point. It all comes down to what you want! But I would check one out in-person before you make a...

We definitely get the crap end of the stick thats for sure. I'm most dissapointed with the dealer-network having almost no information (but being the gate keeper between Customers and Ford Canada). Its very frustrating. For reference, i'm a MOD top customer with a week 1 reservation. converted...

@Sean492 Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply!

Hi Everyone, Quick question: How long was the wait between confirming your order with the dealer (In-store Order) to actually receiving confirmation of a build date from Ford? I was one of the MOD top customers but recently switched for the MIC hardtop. Dealer put my order into the system a...

Let us know when you're ready to trade in the Wrangler

@TSSPat The Vermont Off-Rodeo was going to be our trip. Both my wife and I got the upgrade already so we are in the same boat. Will be nice to drive one since I (supposedly) will now have to wait until 2022 to order...

My guess is they will probably be ready in 3rd or 4th quarter deliveries, but those might be MY2023 at that point.

Its very crappy to see this, but it doesn't change my decision. I don't need the Bronco particularly for anything, so having to wait a bit longer really has no effect on my situation. I will wait, but my patience is wearing thin on this hard-top. Another delay after this will have me...

Would make sense since the Maverick is more of a 'truck' when the Bronco is designed specifically to offroad.

Lol and mine is happily a 7 speed manual. Vettes deserve to have their own gears rowed!

Agreed There just wont be enough demand to engineer safety systems into both an automatic and a manual. the R&D just wont make any sense, maybe not initially but the death of the manual is 100% going to be because of demand, not regulation.

That's fine, but I agree fully with @ZackDanger. I have personally been inside the vehicle when emergency braking kicked in and prevented an accident. Why do you disagree? There are a lot of examples of both, but I would rather the car automatically stop the car than being rear-ended. I like...

The only answer I have for your questions is: Yes, you need to pull the collar up to engage C (exact same operation to shift in reverse). However, you do not need to lift the collar to go from 'C' to 1st gear. I remember someone posted that when they sat in the manual Bronco. I can try...
