I could be wrong, but do not think this is correct. I beleive the 3.5 EB has or had the highest gasoline rating prior to the release of the 7.3. I do beleive the 3.5 eb is still the highest in the F150 though. I read up on this before I bought my last F150.
1st two were bone stock cars on street tires. Still see lots of mustangs with bent shift forks and other issues. Who knows if this one will have issues, but I beleive the A10 is super tough. There are millions of them on the road including trucks with very very few issues. I do love banging...
If the manual in the bronco wasn't a Getrag, I'd consider it. Ive owned two mustangs with Getrag 6 speeds and had issues with parts failure. Yes, Ford took care of it, but what a beating it was. My current Mustang has the 10spd A10 and it is a beast. I beat the hell out of it with over 800 WHP...
IT should be like driving a Ranger fx4, from what ive read. As others have said, the hard top with sound deadening will help too. Tires will play the biggest role towards a quiet smooth ride and decent MPG. Big tires look cool, but kill gas mileage, acceleration and braking. Unless you off-road...
Concerning matching paint colors, they are all challenging if not done correctly.
A good shop will blend into the surrounding panels and then clear coat to the nearest seam. This method makes the variance in paint mixes pretty much impossible to see.
This is also my plan as well, although 3rd option for me might be Antimatter blue with white top and grill. I do love RR though, have a 2019 GT that will look great in the garage next to any of these 3 choices.
I grabbed just now directly from Ford, so they still show it on their site. :) I dont think they would remove that feature. its part of the main selling point for the BD trim.
It still shows it in this doc, will for sure be standard on this one.

My thoughts, the 10 speed has such a super low first gear, it would be a pretty good crawler gear considering how low the final drive is in this trim. 1st gear in the A10 is a 4.70, you could determine the final drive of the trim your looking at and crunch some numbers. Not saying it will be as...
10 speed is a great transmission. The suit is more focused on rough shifts than actual failures. Ford has explained this is due to the learning process. I can attest its not a big deal. I have the 10 spd in my 1000hp GT, its a super tough transmission. I beat the hell out of it in my Mustang...
The 4 banger in the Bronco makes more HP power & torque than the 6 in the Jeep, if Im reading that right. If that's true, who cares how many cylinders. lol
