General consensus is it's a no go, even with a charge
See this thread:

https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/unable-to-push-bump-pop-start-manual-bronco.51877/

The answer is "Not really"

Since there is no ACC position on the key, and everything is computer controlled (especially the fuel pump and accelerator pedal) -- you can get the engine to turn over, but you can't keep it running since the computer doesn't think it should be running.
And if you check some of the other alarmist threads around here, you'll die trying because you won't have steering, or brakes, or an emergency brake while you're trying to unsuccessfully bump start it... (I don't think that's true, But it has been a thing here!)

Well, at least it'll beep beep to let you know where it is....lol.
No, just need to leave the door open. That also helps stop it from rolling too far in a narrow space if the parking brake fails. :cool: But I'm with @AZ_Liberty on this one. And @EvilJim1971 with using Crawl. Man, I miss my manually operated drifting lever!
