Back then was also the time when Getrag was being dragged through the noisy, shuddering mud over the grinding clutch plates. The overall supply and quality-blocking issues (dirt mountain, then ice mountain) made deliveries on orders of *anything* a frustrating waiting game, and especially for the low-volume manuals. I think that set the tone, and many people like me shied off the whole concept permanently.
But I agree, mall rats is where the money lives, locally I think we're deeply biased four door vs two.

I was in my new 2024 Bronco the other day and pulled up behind a "Blazer". That's plain WRONG disgracing the nameplate by slapping it on some FWD based mommie-mobile grocery getter. I feel bad for the Chevy boys........I really do.
Like someone else said, I am SO HAPPY that Ford produces the Bronco in a 2 door / manual combination. I would have loved a V6, but the manual was much more important.

If Ford was serious about making Broncos the unquestionable choice, they'd combine the V-8 (since they're the last ones making v-8s) with a manual transmission in the Bronco just to seal the deal entirely. I enjoy my '24 BB manual with almost 8000 miles, but a V8 Bronco in manual....Pay attention Ford. It's the only other new machine I'll buy.

Ditto for me too!! I traveled out of state to get the exact 2-dr, manual transmission model I wanted. Price was a consideration, but not as important as the combination I wanted.

That would be VERY sad as the 2 door is the only model that really resembles the OG. Thankful for my 2 door FE.

Ummm are you sure you didn't mean to type blazer6g.com?The dropping of 2 doors across all makes and many models ensures that the remaining 2 doors will be even more unique. GOOD! Let the masses have their 4 doors, they'll never get me to buy one!

If not for the 2dr BRONCOS, you'd have an Explorer or Expedition and by god you'd love it...I see this posted many times. Last time I checked the Bronco was only a 2DR until the 6G. So technically there would be NO 4DR Bronco today without the achievements of the 2DR Bronco of the past.
Not sure that is correct considering the 2.7 isnāt mated to the manual transmission.
Edit: Just checked the Granger website. One 2 Door Heritage Limited and one 2 Door Heritage Edition. Both with 2.7 V6 and automatic transmission.

You're right. I appreciate the correction. I was thinking the manual 2 doors are even harder to find.

My wife has a 22 Exploder Timberline.
Traded her 13 Exploder for it. 
And for the record I HATE IT!!!!
Damn dial for the gear selector. Takes forever to switch gears. Back up camera is in and out. Back up sensors act up all the time.
The dial knob on my 22 Sport works great. My only issue is my Lexus has a knob in the same area but operates the radio. Just donāt want to put the Sport in reverse or park while searching for a radio station.My wife has a 22 Exploder Timberline.
And for the record I HATE IT!!!!
My wifeās HRV has a standard console shift lever and it does take forever. However, her backup camera is 10x better than either of the Broncoās. The Sport doesnāt spaz out like the full size. There are plenty of times it seems Iām backing out into the corral as there is a rearing Bronco instead of whatās really there!

My biggest issue is that if you are in drive and have to go to reverse, make sure you are not in a hurry because sometimes it can take quite a few seconds for it to go into gear. If people are waiting for you they can become impatient.
