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

[Studawg]

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.

? Hmmm, interesting thought. So maybe I wasn't going to be getting my regular Black Diamond manual until late 21 anyway? Well if I can convince myself of that, its one less reason NOT to "wait" for the Sasquatch manual.

Thats an astute observation, especially coming from a Gator. Haha JK, Go Dawgs. ?

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!"

It probably won't delay the bronco. Would only delay those that want the Sasquatch w/ manual.

October 2020 or 2021. Since you don't understand that you obfuscate to the ridiculous, I offer the same level of obfuscation. Let's see if we both can move away from that moral error and get very specific. What day on October please? Which year please?

"obfuscate"? Is that with a manual?

So does the "moral error" come with an automatic?

I am very glad that Ford is allowing the ManSquatch, not sure if I will take advantage and won't know until B&P.

That's probably the case. When the newest Wrangler JKs started rolling off the line it was all four doors because that's what most people would be buying. Manuals even at a good rate still won't be considered high volume for the Bronco. For the few of us that plan on pairing the Sasquatch with a manual, we'll just have to get used to waiting.

Well if that's the case they better strap on a set and tell us now. There's going to be a lot of pissed off people.

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

Citing "technical reasons" implies there's a problem to be solved or a mechanical limitation to be overcome. The trans can handle the torque, they just need to cast a different bellhousing. This isn't a multi-year process to design out a brand new drivetrain and overcome a whole bunch of limitations of existing hardware.

You sound like a petulant child. You have no idea if this delayed anything at all. The vehicle isn't going to be here for a year, so stop bitching and relax!

Jeep wasn't building to reservations though.

Apples to oranges.

I feel like they cheaped out a little. Please correct me if Im wrong, but sasquatch package was originally intended to be 2.7l v6 engine with auto transmission, upgraded suspension, 17in wheels, and 35in MT tires.

Now the sasquatch package does not include the 2.7lv6 engine or the auto transmission. So basically made the sasquatch package available to manual transmission by changing whats actually in the sasquatch package.

I would totally go manual if I could get the 2.7l v6, but thats not an option. Am I wrong?

I noticed the Bronco in the video was cyber orange with white top. Really hoping the white top is available at launch.​

When Levine says Ford listened to its customers they can only mean b6g!?

This is the only forum where Ford can receive feedback from a sizable number of true enthusiasts.?

The four regulars on Bronco Nation not withstanding!?

You're wrong I believe. You could get the sasquatch with the 2.3L and the automatic.

You have always been able to get the Sasquatch with the 2.3L and auto. They are now just adding the manual.
