I would guess this is an age/male female thing in general. I am in my mid forties and don't remember many guys who couldn't drive stick by early twenties. It was always a pleasant surprise when the ladies could, or had any interest in learning. I have two much younger sisters (19 and 20 years...

Confirmation of order.

I am starting to be slightly concerned. My daily driver is an 03 Excursion with the 7.3. At 257k, it has only needed a water pump and locking hubs, other than normal maintenance items.

My ideal build is a base manual with a limited slip rear diff (not a locker), but that seems to be an unlikely offering as a stand alone option.

Day trader.

My daily is an 03 Excursion with the 7.3. Great rig, but will have to go when my Bronco arrives.

I wanted one when they were supposed to come over here with a Ford drivetrain about 15 years ago as the "ARO Crosslander". Rented one in Croatia (on RNR) when I was in the US Army in 1999. Liked it.

2003 Excursion with 256k on it, paint is original and still looks excellent!

I taught my then girlfriend, now wife, to drive stick long ago, but she wanted to learn. That seems to be the barrier in your situation. If you can increase her interest, the possibility of success will improve.

I have a feeling if the 2.3 had major issues in the Ranger there would be a bunch of angry Aussies out there.

The main reason I put a deposit on a Bronco was that it is available in a two door, plain jane trim, including a manual transmission. The only option I would really be interested in is a limited slip rear, and I doubt that will be a stand alone offering. In a perfect world base would have a...

Many extended warranty programs specifically say they are not available for Land Rover vehicles. The cost for repairs is often on the insanity spectrum. Leasing is the only way to go with them.

Might just yank the carpet like I did on my CJ-7.

2.3 and MT. 270hp is more than plenty for my needs. Having had a couple of CJs and a '79 Wagoneer, with about half that rating and no power concerns, I am sure this will feel like a rocket.

The Mrs is rather wary of any new vehicle, and is less than thrilled at the prospect of saying goodbye to our 2003 Excursion 7.3. That said, she was not a big fan of the Excursion at first, and I suspect she will be very pleased with the Bronco once it actually arrives.

Why would a dealer sell an in demand vehicle below invoice? That would be like paying over sticker for a last years model.

That is exactly the look I will be going for, The US Wheels Indy 101 has an application that will work.

It would be nice to see complete dimensions of the two door cargo area with the seats removed. Even better would be a rear seat delete option, although that is a pipe dream. I am hoping that my 42X40x30 dual dog crate will fit with a (small) amount of room to spare.

Having owned a Range Rover, and many other lower production/obscure type vehicles, being able to find parts and service easily is a massive plus. When something goes wrong in the middle of nowhere, support is key.
