I think we'll lose the 7MT Broncos before we lose the manual Mustangs.

I meant to imply hoss 3.0 takeoffs from a wildtrak or badlands so equipped. I should have been more clear there

You might want to look at hoss 3.0 takeoffs too. Those are the wildtrak shocks and are overtly for; dune running. What you're trying to do, is reconstruct the RTR that's coming out in...27 I think it is? I've seen that shock surplus video as well, and after looking around on this site and...

you might be able to preserve your ride height with Bilstein 5100s. Someone will correct me if I am mistaken.

this hits pretty close to home. I like my 7MT, but it's not the same as banging gears on the TR3650 in my Mustang. When I bought it, the manual was mandatory. I am not sure how true that remains today. If I were buying something I intended to offroad, I'd probably go with the automatic...

I'd just get the heritage and call it a day. The "35's" aren't really a problem. I've seen several videos that have actually measured the things, and they come out to 34.0 inches anyways. That's not a rounding error, that's a flat out lie. Ford and Goodyear are rating those tires in...

took them 5-6 weeks when they had to replace my transmission. Mostly, it was sitting on the lot collecting dust.

if DHG was available as an option, I might have made a different purchase. I really love that color. EG and VB did nothing for me though, I want a bit darker than either of those.

People want the idea of one, but at the end of the day, they want to be lazy. Dealers aren't going to say no to money. If there was real demand for manuals, the dealers would have them on the lot to sell. The fact that you're in SoCal with SoCal traffic says what likely needs to be said about...

The problem is, the more specific the color, the less people will be willing to pay for it. Generic colors are easier to move because people don't hate them. They may not love them, but they don't hate them. Bright colors that pop will usually have more people that hate them than love them...

I think that if there was significant demand for manuals, dealers would order them. There just isn't. That's part of why I decided to buy my Bronco when I did, I felt that the window of opportunity to get a 2 door, manual SUV was closing. I don't believe I was wrong to feel that way.

probably out of town for the weekend, playing in dirt

I wish you success in not wanting to repeat the expensive journey though the Bronco!

So much truth here. When I bought mine, I didn't intend to go off road at all. Then I decided it might be fun to find some old logging roads to drive like I did with my dad when I was a kid, and found my way to some forest service roads. The Bronco reserved my right to change my mind on how I...

I think it's more indicative of this site being an enthusiast site, and an enthusiast is more likely to use a vehicle outside standard driving conditions. Karen, the soccer mom probably isn't checking B6G to learn more about her vehicle, so she'd not see the thread to answer on it.
