Confirmed: Manual + Sasquatch Bronco, October Build & Price!

[Boxer4]

Maybe reservation holders get in early before it is released to the general public.

Thinking it simply means that reservation holders can save the build in their Ford account.

I think the 6 month delay is total bullshit. No way it makes any difference from a production standpoint if you are making manual Badlands at the same time anyway from the start of production. This is just a big FU to the early/first reservation holders and rewarding the late comers with something better in order to keep the order demand going in the future. Why not just say it's for the '22 models at this point. All of the petition and voices of the mansquatch were the people who would be getting them before 6 months.

So then Squatch on the Badlands with 2.3L and manual will be like $600 or something now...?
Hmmmm

Although I’ve always supported a manual Sas, I see two big issues.

1. if the Manual is a China built unit all this was a waste of time.
2. 4.70 is plenty gearing for an auto but typically a manual goes one step steeper in gearing to match the auto.

So I’m wondering if the axles are incapable of going steeper than 4.70.

Yeah looks that way. Ugh. But I for one am waiting. This is what I wanted. Gives me an extra 6 months to save as well.....have to look at it with some positive perspective I guess.

So will it be a 2022?

BLACKMANSQUACH In antimatter blue. My dream has come true... just need the white top.

 

[Brocked]

I’m happy for all you MT guys, but with a late 2021 delivery for the mansqauch it just means my Wildtrak will get here faster!

 

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

Was that a white top, or just light gray in lighting? Also “Raptor“ typo or something else?

There are no technical reasons, there are only cost reasons.

Same thing, essentially. The costs to overcome the technical work required to make it happen can't really be justified.

I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but I have a feeling all manuals are late 2021. Sasquatch is standard on FE and Wildtrack and there's no way those are being delayed to late availability. So since sasquatch isn't the constraint, I'm guessing the manual is.

NO MORE PETITIONS FOR ANYTHING!! that will just continue to delay things ... ugh, now we gotta wait til October because there's like 2% of people who want a specific combo. Next up - "I won't buy a Bronco unless I can get alternating colored panels on my Bronco with a plaid color interior, AC delete, manual windows and a flip down front window... let's make a petition!"

So people that don’t have a reservation and won’t see one for at least 2 years will be able to go in to build and price a bronco they can’t order for that long???? Does that make since. Yes you can B&P their normal vehicles but the Bronco has crazy reservations so if they don’t want what happened during the reservation reveal night, I wouldn’t rule that out. Think about it, 265,000 reservation holders not being able to build out because Joe Schmoe (a lot of them) is on the site playing with a fake build out, I doubt that will last long.

I've never order a new vehicle but you can probably do it at your dealer. Whenever the B&P drops, I'd bet it's going to be like when the reservations opened up, it's probably going to crash the site for a lot of people.

I hate to be a Pollyanna but no one knows yet. I'd speculate that Ford has the manual transmissions so there would be no reason for a full delay.

We just won't know until production. Let's try to have at least some hope here.

 

[elseminoleguapo]

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mansquatch

 

[dpav02]

That's great but only like 3 of you will actually buy it. Then Ford will be pissed that they wasted their time listening and redesigning things.
