I remember the original Taurus SHO (1989-1991). It was available manual trans only. So of course, Ford Thinks: If we had an auto trans, we would sell more. So they make an auto trans along with the manual, and pretty soon the auto is outselling the man trans. Then, of course, Ford stops...
I agree with BroncoBilly22. A nice full-metal body, with metal roof (Including sound absorbing headliner), air conditioning ducts in the 2nd (And 3rd...) row, optional Sasquatch, and Raptor version. Yes, I know- Go buy a Defender or an Expedition....
