What does "streamlined customer choices matched to transmissions" mean? Something to do with more efficient assembly?

It means “We screwed up and didn’t ACTUALLY think people would want the MT. We didn’t build enough. This is our solution to keeping those numbers down.”

Did you know: Every Tuesday at Ford corporate in the cafeteria, they give away a 10A with every 10th ? ordered?

It means we can't be bothered to research content packaging on Wrangler, and decided to just make this up in order to maximize profit and automatic take rates.

Honestly, I'm not sure. It's another incomplete answer from Mike. However, it makes me think that Ford decided not to pair the Mid with the manual on the Black Diamond because not enough people were selecting it... But that's like the chicken or the egg question, which came first? People can't select what's not offered on B&P

I still think they underestimated take rates and the solution was to attach the 10A to the Mid, or bump you up to a BL. Figure, if you want it bad enough to get both, then you’re gonna pay for it.

I'm sitting here happy as can be that Ford is actually giving me an auto for free. I hate it for you manual guys but it's great news for many of us.
