Two transmission plants. Either one make a manual?

I like the 35s. According to BFG, the KO2 35s do come with white lettering. Question is, would Ford be so kind as to let us specially request the BFG 35s with the raised white lettering?... seems like an easy ask to fulfill, but I’d be willing to bet I’d get a “no” answer from my local dealer sales rep without explanation.
New KO2s are reversible! White letters on one side, black on the other. (y)

Why am I just now noticing no handles on the 2-door? Any explanation for that?

Alright. I think I have it figured out. These a-arms are completely different.
Heres two photos comparing a Squatch with 35s and the promo With 37s. Looks like the suspension is completely different. :cry:

I thought I read that somewhere. But watch out, because I was on the phone with a BFG rep last week for new KO2 all terrains on my truck, and he said the 33s did not have white lettering, but the 35s did. Apparently white lettering is only available on “select sizes.”

Oh that's weird. Reversible 33s on Wranglers come standard. I can't imagine it's a Jeep-only thing. Hopefully not. I love the white letters!

I should have clarified, which suspension combo with the 35”tire.

Unfortunately no - the MT is made by Getrag and most likely in China like the MT-82 used in the Mustang (yes, the one that caused the class-action lawsuit).
I'm not convinced it's a big concern but was def disappointing to hear that.

I think it wouldn't be too costly to have them remount the tires after the fact if it is really important to you.

I'm wondering if the Cactus Gray on this one-off is also pre-prod, because it looks nothing like the CG on the Bronco Sport, nor does it look like the Jet Fighter Gray, which supposedly is the same color based on the color code, on the Mustang Mach 1. The CG on the Bronco Sport looks like ass.
Unless Ford is going to surprise everyone and release a different shade for the full size...right...

That's the same colour in different lighting with different cameras.
