My bronco finally came in…. And it’s an Automatic

get to go talk to my salesman today about this…… I’m supposed to be happy, right?

Who’s running a 2.3/10spd here, thoughts off road/towing/etc.

2dr BD build

IMO, remember, just my opinion, Auto is better for off-road than manual.

@VelocityBronco

@VelocityBronco in a lot of cases you’re not wrong, manual has always been my personal preference (I shift 18 gears all day long), I like to control my power band. It does have trail turn and trail control, so there are pluses and minuses. I personally appreciate the millennial theft deterrent transmission

. Met with him and we’re discussing the options to make it right this afternoon. He’s been a friend for a while now (also 2.3/7spd guy himself, so he gets it) and an awesome salesman. This will make vehicle #3 from him, so I know he’s gonna do what he can to try and get it right.

I think 2.3/10spd is a solid combo.

@VelocityBronco

@VelocityBronco I was very happy with it in my ranger, just curious how the bronco guys felt about it. I’ll be pulling about 3k with my sxs on a trailer, most I’ll be hauling with it.

I test drove both and honestly preferred the auto with 2.3. Felt like a better pairing for the motor.

@ScoutandBronco

@ScoutandBronco it’s not bad. Good enough between the ride and the deal my salesman gave me to make me say yes. lol.

Welp, the profile picture should tell this story. lol

I have a 2.3/10spd 2 door base non-sas. I added 33” M/Ts the day I picked it up. Has been great to drive and the powertrain/drivetrain seem to handle it very well on-road and in mild off-roading. I’ve been really impressed what can be done with open diffs and a decent set of tires.

I wanted my wife to be able to drive this thing for fun and a manual is a nonstarter for her. I begrudgingly ordered the auto and now I’m glad I did. It’s smooth, finds the right gear and stays there without hunting. Plus, trail turn assist is helpful on sandy/loose trails with tight spots. Like in the northern Michigan woods where I wheel.

@GPPBronco

@GPPBronco my wife enjoys a manual almost as much as I do, so that wasn’t an issue here. She liked it quite a bit on our test drive today so it’s not the worst thing in the world.

I’m looking forward to trying out the TTA, I be gotten into some pretty tight spots and had to multi point turn, I’m interested to see how well it works.
