It took 745 days for me. Picked up my Black Diamond last week and loving every minute of it. The 7 speed mt is so much fun to drive.
While I loved my new Tundra, I don't need a second truck and didn't a steep payment for 7 years. I don't even miss it. I have an 05 Tundra that I will run as...
So I've noticed that sometimes (not every time) when I press the clutch down there is a feel that I would describe as friction. Other times there is none. I have about 2500 miles on my Bronco. I can't tell if this is an issue or not. It's been a long time since I have a new clutch, so I'm...
Hey everyone!
We asked our buddy Scott who has been driving around a manual Badlands for 7 months help break down some of his top tips, tricks and secrets of the manual transmission on the Bronco!
Here are the topics:
- Shift Pattern
- Auto Blip / Anti-Stall
- Crawler Gear As Traffic Gear
-...
Ok I'm going to keep this quick - Ive had my 4dr 2.3 MT Badlands with the MIC hard top and roof rack for about 3500 miles now and I can say without a doubt the wind noise in this truck is as loud or louder than anything I've ever taken on the highway (including a soft top 1969 GTO).
I test...
Ford's website is still showing my Bronco as not yet built or shipped:
But... my Bronco is built and did ship and I took delivery of it on Saturday (paid MSRP, as promised by the dealer):
Its been quite the first few months running the Bronco and to no ones surprise, THIS THING IS AN ABSOLUTE TANK!! Heres a quick overview of everything thats been done to the truck…

…like really, really like it. The clutch is smooth and lightweight but that really didn't matter much with the crawler gear in 4L since you can nearly come to a standstill without killing the engine. But if you do manage to stall, it restarts immediately once you disengage the clutch.
I just...
Hi, I am looking to order a manual 2 doors Big Bend Bronco but I am on the fence with the transmission. I wanted the manual 7 speed, but reading the review in car and driver about shorter people banging their knee and hard to reach pedal makes me wonder. My wife is 5'1

Did a full video with my daughter while going off road (off Hines Drive). I use crawler gear in several situations including up and down a steep (for me) berm, down a dirt road and through dozens of potholes. It is so fun!
... and yes, she knows how to drive a Manual Transmission.
Also I...
Well guys, a year after being told "no" to this option combination, I'm still here daydreaming about it. I'd like to know if there is anyone else holding on to hope for this to happen in the future? @Ford Motor Company
Got a call from my dealer that they just got their demo model in and it happened to be the manual 4 door badlands. When I got there I noticed it looked taller than I expected since I was expecting the 33s that come stock on the Badlands. For some reason this 21 model is a manual w/Sasquatch...
I reserved on July 14 2020 (early morning) and I expect my Bronco to built on July 12, 2021.
I decided to share a video to share my thoughts...
In the video, I will tell you why the 2021 Base Bronco 2-Door is a price hack and a fantastic deal relative to the Jeep Wrangler, the 4-Door, and to...
So great to finally see them in real life! And totally lucked out that they had a 2.3L manual BD which is my build (minus the 2 extra doors). The team that runs the event were awesome and let you crawl all over and in the vehicles. The MVG seats were super comfortable and the exterior and...
Hello all!
I went to my local dealer's bronco event yesterday with one main goal in mind: measure the manual transmission throw length!
For reference, I daily drive a manual 2018 Corvette Z06, and my wife drives a manual 2020 Mustang GT.
Here were the results I found:
2018 Corvette Z06...
I ordered a Badlands 2 door without the Sasquatch package. I wanted it but did not feel like waiting (ordered a manual) and realized there were different wheels and tires I wanted more in the aftermarket. Anyone in the same boat here? Not too sure what I might do with suspension, wheels and...
Since Ford isn't offering a middle option for manual transmission (no mid package on BB/BD with MT), I've been considering either basemansquatch or Badlands.
Trying to keep price of Badlands down because it's already stretching my budget. I love the upgraded wheels, but for $1000 I'm second...
