Yeah, and the left/right dash grab handles don't have any color on them. I'd wager you can add a center handle and replace the dash handles (with one of the higher-end handles with some color, or aftermarket) for under $300.
I get the impression not many people are trying to get a Base 4-door with manual. It might be a deliberate decision by Ford rather than a bug, but I'm hopeful it's a bug because that is exactly what I want.
As for the manual+sasquatch, that's coming to B&P later according to Ford.
Why would you "accept" that? Ford has clearly and repeatedly stated you will be able to get the manual with the Sasquatch package.
Whether or not you can get those two things together on the Base, that's another story.
Big Bend is the best alternative if you wanted a BaseManSquatch for the 4-door, but now realize that's not an option... No need to move up to Black Diamond.
Looks like you can get the 4-door with a manual in Big Bend, thank god.
I don't want hot vinyl seats and I don't want any additional electronic nannies (looking at you, Mid Package).
Jeep offers a manual transmission for 4-door Base. Why not the Bronco?
Biggest disappointment of the B&P night for me. I don't understand Ford's decision. What manufacturer doesn't offer a manual on the base model, if they offer it at all?
Great. I'm sure this will be a real power move for Ford with the 4-door. Too bad it screws me right out of my preferred manual build -- can't deal with hot vinyl seats on Badlands and never wanted the junky Ford steel bumpers when the aftermarket will produce something much more polished.
I'm...
I recognize it is the same photo used in the AMB shots we’ve seen for months, but I think this CGM shot we’re seeing now is the original photo (I don’t think it’s CGI) and the AMB morph was produced from it.
Early Subaru WRXes (2002-2005) had a cat in the up-pipe and a cat in the downpipe.
Yeah, the cat in the up-pipe disintegrated sometimes and then your turbo eats chunks of catalyst. Hopefully under warranty.
I grew up on turbo cars -- I'm conditioned to expect (and predictively work around)...
If the Sasquatch package is indeed only $5,000, it's a helluva deal. Upgraded front diff, front diff lock, rear diff lock, upgraded resi shocks with extended travel, 4.7 gears, and (I think) the "advanced" T-case with AWD and lower crawl ratio.
If you don't want the 35s and the ugly wheels...
if it had trapezoidal flares or some other overstyled shape, I would be less interested. The simple round arches are purposeful and stand out against the competition.
Also, I think the Sasquatch wheels are ugly as sin, and only the Big Bend wheels are worse. We all have opinions.
