Looks like nearly a 60% manual take rate for 2.3L ... cool!
For people who want a manual it's not like they have a choice. If the 2.7l was offered with the manual I bet we would have seen a lot less 2.3l overall.

So the manual take rate here is lower than the general public? I recall many saying it would be skewed to a higher percentage here.
Its funny the overall manual take rate is higher at 18% v 15%, but manual take rate of 4cyl buyers are lower. Weird

B6G manual take rate with 2.3L ................57%
All orders manual take rate with 2.3L ...45%

Would love to see a state to population analysis. Is the table available like it was earlier on?

Who would spend the money on a new Bronco, and an auto transmission, but stick with the 2.3L? At the point of buying this luxury off-roader, the price is already jaw-dropping. I don't think the mileage is going to be different enough to say "I wanted to save gas money".

I guess some people wanted to use the $1800 on new rims/tires/etc maybe?

Honestly the difference is overblown. I'm also not in the spending insane money on my BD to start and vehicles are not an investment (and I plan to actually beat on this thing). So I'm your huckleberry.
  • Most likely a delay for the 2.7 (the main reason I have a 2.3A but not only)
  • 2.3 has more HP and torque than any previous Bronco.
  • Gets great reviews, reliable, and will be fine in any scenario this vehicle is designed for.
  • Most people trade/sell the vehicle before engine longevity comes into play (long after payments are done). Personally if I love this thing, and I think I will, I'll flip it when they make some model changes and I have some experience behind the wheel and dial in the next build.
  • Tow limit is 3500 anyways.
  • I'm not drag racing, live in high altitude, and is a daily driver.
  • $32/month for "I may need it" or "bigger is better" over 5y is not my style.
  • But If I really feel I need more I'll get the tune
Note that ROI is actually decent on the 2.7 too for trade-in when you're done. It's not a bad move just not a needed one in this scenario for most.

Thank you. List has been corrected!

STATES (TOP 10)
California
Texas
Florida
Michigan
Colorado
New York
Virginia
North Carolina
Georgia
Illinois
Pennsylvania
I think it would be more interesting to see the states on a per capita basis. Big population states are going to be in the top ten, but which states are highest per capita? Those are the real enthusiasts.

I think that 2-door percentage surprised Ford! And nearly 50% opted for Lux...wow!
The ratio is closer to 2/3 than 1/2. This is also probably the closest it will ever be if you look at the Wrangler #s over the past 13 years. Just my opinion of course...with a little probability & stats mixed in😎

why do you think ford expects OBX will be the hot seller? I figured it be Big Bend.
I think it has to do with OBX having access to all the creature comforts, lights, leather, etc, without having to jump up to badlands, or wildtrak.

I waited until the last second to change my color based on this because I wanted the least popular one. So Iconic Silver it is (which I actually really like).

I remember being a kid and thinking, all the old guys have the sweetest vehicles and they're too old to enjoy them. Now I'm retired, and Hell yeah, I can afford the sweet rides and will definitely enjoy them.
