Manual with 35s is a question of who's gonna buy it and how much is it going to cost in warranty work.
The manual does not physically bolt to the 2.7 and likely can't handle the power.

is there a reason why manual wouldn’t work with 35s? Already established that the MT torque rated @ 442 lbsft probably too close for comfort with the 2.7 but they should have designed it with a beefed up or different MT to go with the 2.7. Tremendous fail.

Pricing this fall??? Probs Nov 1st.

Sooo.... Build and Price tool in August? Or is that getting shuffled down the line also?

 

[BroncoDude]

"Sasquatch package is only available with auto right now, let us know what you think about a manual combo."

Yes, please!

 

[regularbronco]

How about we price it and they build it? Customer first!

Hurry up and release cool product, allow people to place reservations, string them along for months what actual product will cost them...

Yes, please!

Definitely with a manual. We've been waiting 25 years just build it and it will get sold!

Twitter question:

“Hoping these get answered. I have a Black Diamond 2 door on Reserve.
1. Sasquatch with a manual don’t care which engine makes it happen?
2. 5.29 ring and pinion option?
3. Possible lower gear set for the T-case?
4.Rubber floor,vinal interior,sway bar disco,lockers “al a cart”?”


Ford’s response:

“1. We hear you and are listening
2. & 3. These will not be available from the factory
4. Rear lockers are available on most series as a free standing option and front & rear combo lockers are available on all series with Sasquatch.”

How about being more specific than " on most series". What about Base? Will we be able to order rear lockers on Base?

Too many people try to drive a stick and make it feel like an auto. Whole lot of clutch riding. Bigger tires is only going to exasperate the problem of poor technique.
This is just my opinion of course.

Looks like they're jumping around or ignoring some questions. They just answered a question that was asked 10 minutes ago, but there are several unanswered from hours ago.

 

[NCOBX]

Have they not answered the V8 question? Most of the questions answered seem like small fish in comparison.

Ah Dammit, looks like we’re stuck with these engine options. Jeep better pull out all stops for the V8 so that the Bronco can eventually get one.

No, that seems to be the one trim you can’t get a rear locker without the Sasquatch package.
