I did not notice any problems with the brakes, but the vehicle I drove was not a Sasquatch.
Is there going to be a manual 2.7? I did not know that was a possibility -
I predict many manual buyers are like me - feel strongly about steering feel, chassis, fun, sound, manual interaction/connection and will tend to be enthusiasts that like a variety of vehicles. I had an extended test drive where the dealer loaned me the car for an afternoon and I came away very...
I was hoping the Gearbox would feel like my old Focus RS. Also, I subscribe to this reviewer on YouTube and he really liked the Wrangler manual and when he says the Bronco gearbox was better and was heel/toeing it had me wanting the manual Bronco after sort of being on the fence for a bit. I...
I own a 5th-gen 4runner.
Pros - Hydraulic steering, NA engine that with an exhaust can sound great, feels very roomy in the interior cabin for an off-roader, still feels analogue and old school, not too much tech (yet). Can add a Supercharger.
Cons - No manual transmission on offer.
This is the best video to date (IMO) that details the manual 6MT with Crawler Gear. FWIW - I think he does a very good job describing the character of various manual transmissions in different types of cars/trucks.
I am still not sure whether to get a Badlands with 33's or Big Bend with...
I am 1000% only considering the manual and my initial order was for the Badlands with the regular 33" tires (non sasquatch) 4 Door Model.
Since the weights have been published, I was considering changing my build to a Big Bend with Sasquatch package due to the Black Diamond weighing ~ 500lbs...
I just want a review of the manual. I am a little worried turbo motor and EPS steering will take away from the experience for me, because I am a 70 year old trapped in a 40 year old body when it comes to cars/trucks.
But, a manual Bronco is very exciting to me, it is as appealing to me as an...
Great clip thanks!!
That looks perfect to me, just slightly longer than a hot-hatch, still giving it a slight truck feel.
I have driven and owned so many manuals - my preference is that they are all a bit different (currently own 3 manual vehicles) that uniqueness of a particular vehicles'...
Thanks for response,
I don’t think I need all the equipment on the BL Listed above.
My prference is to save some weight and go with a Big Bend. I think day to day it will suit my needs.
Does anyone know how much weight is added for modular front bumper and locking rear diff?
It will feel like a truck. I have Golf R like you and a 4Runner TRD Pro and the 4runner feels like a truck. It is great in a straight line, you sit up high all is good, but on twisty roads it feels heavy, sluggish, slow to brake a little unstable due to off-road suspension, tires, &...
Just to counterpoint slightly.....
I daily a Golf R and first thing I do is disable the ACC. It has stopped my car when driving out of a parking lot due to detection of the road as a possible collision point (coming out of a dip at low speed.) I was then stopped completely by the car as a...
I just emailed my dealer that I want to wait. I want to see one in the flesh to see what colors and options are best.
They did place an order, so not sure if I will need to make a new reservation, but I was really struggling with options and color. I think seeing various builds in person...
Thanks for all the great replies.
I told my dealer I want to see and hopefully drive one due to indecision on model and options.
Moving to MY22 to hopefully figure out my build.

I struggled with this, but I had chosen mid for heated seats and being able to open the door without hitting the button. I felt pretty soft for hitting that option, but I go skiing alot and trying to find keys in gear can be a pain.
TBH - If there was base 4door manual with no options I would...
That is a good amount of added weight for the same powertrain and transmission.
As a manual transmission fan, like many, I come from sporty cars and (weight is the enemy), help me understand why it is OK to add ~ 500lbs to the same powertrain/transmission?
I might be completely misguided in...
