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

[Gene Dios]

What does the BnP have to do with what dealership you choose? Either you will get MSRP, Xplan, Granger or butt raped.

Because there are a lot of dealerships, especially in my area, that won't commit to any of that and are waiting for full price and order details. Any kind of new or special edition vehicle gets marked up thousands. In order to finalize dealership, Ford needs to finalize pricing in order to get some commitments.

It feels really planned because they know how long they have before actually producing the orders, so they’re milking how much they can to get us to December when the ordering basically starts.

OK, so Ford gave us what we asked for, are we going to take it? Your actions speak louder than your words. If you wanted the mansquatch, step up and get it. Show Ford there is still a strong market for a manual.

I didn't even give the squatch a second thought after I learned it was auto only. Now, I am definitely getting the squatch, regardless of which trim level I get. Regardless of trim, my overall price just went up. Ford is getting my money for giving what I asked for.

Step up guys(gals) and get the mansquatch, or next time Ford may not listen.


Now, we need a cool sticker for the back window to identify the mansquatch going down the road.

It doesn't, but dealers can't string people along unless people are willing to be strung along. I can only imagine the surprise on their faces when the dealer says they have to wait until December to commit to a price when the Bronco is actually ordered. Then, in December they tell them they have to wait until it is delivered to see what the actual invoice/MSRP price will be. There is no excuse for not having at the very least X-plan.

This is what I believe as well. The rep I spoke to said that they wanted to drip out information to keep the excitement going.

For me, getting the ManSquatch information put a smile on my face all day! ?

I'll never have the beard for that.

So not looking thru 28 pages of "No B&P"???!!
Lets get the facts please: Is this a NEW upgraded MT and if so what model? AND can you get the 2.7 with Sas and MT? Thanks

I completely agree, it might be expensive but we have to vote with our money if we want these options to stick around. I plan on going with it the manquatch combo because I rather get both, then before only options were Sasquatch or auto, would rather get the manual instead of auto. I just hope late 2021 doesn’t mean December 2021.

I’m glad we don’t have to now choose between the Sasquatch and manual. Now we don’t have to and a little more waiting

That's great, but why didn't their crack design team have that as an option from day one? Did they just think there would be no interest in the manual? It really is great as I will be getting a lower trim with squatch and getting to keep the manual, but it makes me wonder how well they understand their customers.

I think this was a 4D chess marketing move to make it loo like they appealed to the customers. It’s either that or they just didn’t fathom how much buzz this vehicle would generate and they moved quickly to capitalize.

Agreed, I was trying to convince myself that I didn't want the 35's, but damnit, I want the 35's! Getting them from the factory makes it so much easier.

I would give them the benefit of the doubt and believe they did do research. But looking at Jeep's manual numbers going down every year, including the "most capable" Rubicon variant, might cause you to believe there isn't demand (especially since they represent a large majority of the off road market). And in your own direct research, you are only going to reach 10's to 100's of people at the most.

Now that it is out in the wild (as it were) you can get feedback from your community - and they are still only hearing from a vocal percentage. B6G at 10k members is less than 10% of the reservation number. Good for them for listening and pivoting quickly.

Jeeps numbers keep going down on the manual because it's a problematic, half-assed attempt at a manual. I don't know how tough or reliable Ford's manual will be, but at least the Bronco manual actually gives an extra incentive: the crawl gear. Pretty much took Jeep to the woodshed with that one.

Wow... was reading the other thread... huge announcement of one of the largest complaints on this forum aside of the infamous White Top and every post afterwards was people complaining about something else.

Thank you @Ford for filtering out all the winning and focusing on the core functionality....

And as much as I want BnP, all my final decisions need accurate information, so if you need a bit extra to get it right.. take it (just make sure to push back dealer change date as well).
