All depends on how the end user plans on using the vehicle. Me - I will not be doing any off-roading so I will be getting the Big Bend. But at the same time I will be getting the $495 rear locker diff option - for the next guy.
"Loeffler also told Ford Authority that offering the manual with the V6 on the Bronco was a matter of demand. "If customers start asking for it, we’ll end up having to consider it," he said. If you're desperate for this setup, then keep pestering the automaker, and maybe the seven-speed would...
4-door manual Big Bend with Signature Lighting and Rear Locking Diff and you are under $40K - leaving you with over $5K to add other options and/or dealer-installed accessories. :)
No Sasquatch -but just comparing the BB with 32's and 4.46 vs the BL with 32's and 4.7 - which is required with the BL to get the manual tranny . But I see what you are saying about the gearing - and I guess there would not be that much difference between a 4.46 and 4.7 anyway
Just wondering what the difference in gas mileage would be with a 4.7 axle ratio versus a 4.46 axle ratio - with a manual tranny and doing mostly highway driving. :unsure:
So if you are going with the manual and driving mostly highway, but can't decide between the Big Ben with the 4.46 or the Badlands with the 4.7, would there be much of a mileage difference?
I would order MIC top and sound deadening material at time of purchase - but since the 4-door comes standard with the soft top was not sure how that would effect the hard top (I prefer it and the sound deadening all put on at factory) And I am not sure how ordering the MIC top would effect the...
The problem is for those who want a manual but do not want an extreme off-roading vehicle. For example, with the BL, if you want the manual you must also get the 4.7 locking rear axle ratio - as you lose the option of the 4.46 rear axle ratio. When you select the 4.46 rear axle ratio -it...
I will follow their 2021 Bronco packages - I'll just need to find out if I should order the auto 2.6 and have them swap with the 7-speed manual or order the manual 2.3 and have them swap with the 2.6. Neither will be cheap - come on Ford and give us the 2.6 manual option. :love:
The one thing I know for sure is that I want the Manual Transmission. As to whether I want a locker or not is what I am considering now . But as for what is available for the Manual, I am only seeing ONE Axle Ratio available - the 4.46 - whether the locker is chosen or not. Is that right...
Since I am looking at a MANUAL Big Bend isn't the "Available Final Drive Ratio" 4.46 as shown under the Ford "Preliminary Specifications" - and not 3.73 or 4.27? But not sure if MANUAL equipped with a Rear Axle Locker the ratio never changes from 4.46 - whether Rear Axle Locker is engaged or...
Unless B & P has a glitch for the manual 4-door Big Bend, it added the rear locker at no additional cost (and I think there is a glitch as it previously added an additional approx $500 cost)
So they won't change the ratio of the manual Bronco when they are open - that is good to know. I may just get the rear locker (not the front locker) for the resale value of the Bronco.
