Crawl is basically 1 mph per 1000 rpm. I drove one at a local off rodeo for an hour. It’s crazy fun and simple to use but then I’ve drive manuals for 50 years. You can dump the clutch in crawl and not stall with no gas pedal.

You won’t wear the clutch because you won’t use the clutch. The low range on this thing is pretty crazy. In 4L and crawler, you can dump the clutch with no gas and start crawling along like it’s nothing. Once you’re in gear, forget that the clutch exists and everything will go smoothly. Constantly slip the clutch in the low torquey gears, and you’ll burn it up pretty good.Hi, I’m curious on others thoughts/experience using a manual transmission for off-road fun having, Vs automatic transmission. I’m no stranger to a standard transmission, my daily driver is a 6 speed Audi. My question is related to off-road, low speed use. How much of a pain in the ass is to use a clutch for off-road? Like if I’m crawling will I wear that clutch out as it would be disengaged. If I’m at a Harry spot on descending grade and I need to stop, I’ll then be worried about stalling out trying to navigate the obstacles.
what are your guys experience with standard Vs auto for off road obstacles?
with banks opening soon, I want to make sure I make an informed decision when I place my order. I really want a 7spd, but a little concerned. Thank you.
I have Non Sas BL MT. Here are some points to think about (coming from someone who owns 6 manual trans vehicles right now).Perfect. Thanks for all the insight thus far.
I’m pretty much where I was.
BL non sas 7spd upgraded wheels
Or WT with H3.0.
There is not one trim that gives me exactly what I want…thinking it’s the BL for the W though. The standard trans sounds like it’s not much to stress about wheelin.
Yep. Been teaching the wife how to wheel with a manual. She races a Miata and can work a clutch better than most, but off road is different. Having to teach her to put it in gear and get her foot off the clutch.Just as a counter point to every one here saying they drove a manual crawling at off roadeo.....
Off roadeo no longer has manuals because people destroyed the clutches.
I have Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 (auto) Lux.2. With MT you give up options that I kinda wish I had.
If you have Lux package, adaptive cruise won't do stop/go in traffic
Yeah, they only put the stop/go capable adaptive cruise on the Bronco Sport.. slightly annoying, I got used to that even though I only had it for a month. Quite nice in stop and go rush hour traffic.I have Badlands Sasquatch 2.7 (auto) Lux.
ACC is not stop and go with the auto, it turns off at ~7mph.
My first vehicle with any of this tech. I love the ACC, but now getting used to it I would greatly prefer stop and go. Also wish they upped Lane Keep to Lane Centering.Yeah, they only put the stop/go capable adaptive cruise on the Bronco Sport.. slightly annoying, I got used to that even though I only had it for a month.

The Sport had the lane centering too.. It worked OK. But here in Texas at least it sometimes had problems figuring out the lanes. By it's nature it is more aggressive in steering corrections than basic lane keeping so would sometimes try to steer you off the wrong way.My first vehicle with any of this tech.
