But what would you honestly expect them to do if they were customer orders that were no longer wanted? Let the Broncos sit on the lot taking up real estate space while they pay the insurance on it to just sit there? While it wouldn't be fair to those who are waiting for their order, it would be...
That was a question I had too. If we order a Bronco that comes with the reverse and forward sensing, what happens if we want to swap the bumpers? Do we lose that function? Do we have to have holes drilled in the new bumped to push the sensors back into the bumper?
Why would Ford tease you? Hmmm. White top option shown but not offered?
Rear pull out tray shown but not offered? Originally no manual offered with Sasquatch package. Then to get manual tranny and mid package you have to option all the way to the Badlands model and spend more. No manual tranny...
My beef with Wrangler is that you have to go all the way to Rubicon to get lockers and then you get both lockers. Why does Jeep not offer maybe a rear locker on the Sahara and both lockers on the Rubicon? There is no middle ground. Huge allure with Bronco for that. Agree that the Jeep is easier...
I think the main reason is cost to develop the product and then lack of interest in the consumer. Yes, there are a niche of people that want a manual transmission, but the overwhelming preference is the automatic. So likely the cost to produce it isn't worth the amount they would actually sell...

Been driving a manual for 16 years. Me personally, its the only way for me to consider. It kills me i have to give up the V6 engine and it kills me i have to pay more than i want to and get the Badlands to have the mid package in a manual tranny, but again, the manual tranny is a must have.
I think I have settled on a 4 door Badmansquatch in CG. I swung Antimatter Blue for a hot minute but kept being disappointed at how dark it almost always looked even though I love when its lit up and the metallic flake is sparkling.
I contacted my dealer today. Honestly, I don't think they know the exact date. My dealer, who has been very open and transparent with me on information, told me they hadn't yet received the DIO options list and all the options available for order. He also didn't have an exact date in December...
