As someone who sometimes looks at survey data professionally, Iām guessing a lot of people who canāt drive a manual didnāt take this survey. Many people donāt like to answer a survey if they canāt give the perceived ācorrectā answers, even when itās totally anonymous.

Yes, I can drive a manual. Have a manual mustang I dd in summer time, bronco is for winter dd duties and different kinds of fun. Remote start and the 2.7 were my reasons for the auto.
Nothing like the sound of a throaty coyote 5.0 and banging my own gears. Questionable whether a manual Bronco will give me that same feeling.
All of these KOH videos are making me think the Bronco may indeed be "that fun" with the manual. I still have time to change my mind, again.

Why are there 12 pages of responses to a Yes or No poll question???

This probably a biased audience. If you poll America you are probably right. Polling a forum of folks that spend too much time talking about a vehicle we have never seen before will probably get a slightly different answer than the general population.
The manual is not available on the First Edition. All I want FORD is a 500HP V8 coupled with a manual and no electronic nannies. I don't even need NAV. Just give me a stereo and some USB power.
FORD...I realize I only represent the .0000001 % of car buyers. I need this car in my life.
NO MORE DIGITAL GAUGE CLUSTERS EITHER....I hate those damn things.
And if you are going to force me to get an AUTO...either make it a column shifter or give me paddles. I hate that the shifter takes up storage space between the seats.
Also FORD...if you are listening...Mickey Thompson Classic III Wheels coupled with Baja Boss tires. We need to bring chrome back. I can't stand this black wheel styling. It looks like hell. It's about time someone stood up and said it.

I learned on a manual and have had a few manual vehicles but none for probably 20 years +. My fIrst manual was a 1980 VW Dasher Diesel wagon. I don't miss that one. I rented a car in Costa Rica a few years ago and it was a manual. Stalled out a few times trying to re-learn but it came back easily after a day or so. I'm buying a base mansquatch so I can teach my kids how to drive a manual before manual vehicles don't exist anymore!
... love stick shift; sitting in my car right now typing this out.
... want auto cause I drive like a madman with the precision that stick affords ... ... ... oh, others in the house can't drive stick.

I love driving a manual, drove a 1990 SAAB 900s manual in highschool, had a 1994 accord, a manual jetta. my first automatic is my 2017 Civic hatchback. I wanted to get a manual bronco but my husband said he wanted the 2.7 so we went with the 2.7L (even though its my car).
the other reasoning i thought of was that my mom has a 4 door wrangler with the auto stop/start on a manual and its stalled on her at lights a few times, i'm not sure if its her driving style (1/2 the time based on what i could find online it shouldnt even be shutting off at the lights near her house) or an issue with the car that the dealer cant figure out yet but that was a tiny consideration i had when it came to the bronco.
since this is my daily driver i dont really miss shifting or being stopped on a steep hill stuck in traffic, although my Jetta i swear was idiot proof and never stalled.
