Manual Transmission Q&A Master Thread

[eddyarnold]

I'm probably sticking with BL|Manual|High, but wonder what all I'll be losing out on... I know remote start, but how about that trail cruise control & trail turn assist or anything else like that?
thanks!

I believe the trail turn assist, one pedal and active cruise are all associated with the auto box.

But you do get crank in gear and hill start assist.

I think the active cruise is good to go on the manual. It works on the manual Ford Mustang. Albeit not with the stop and go capability. What it will do, however, is pick a follow distance with the vehicle in front of you, and keep pace with speed - but in a narrower speed band than you would get with the auto. I think of it as 70% operational, depending on your use case. I am not planning on spending a bunch of time in stop and go (hence the manual decision) but I do see utility on the interstate.

Heres a great thread about experience with the shifter: https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/thre...ransmission-shifter-throw-length.15590/page-2

Luckily there was nothing vague about the throws of the shifter! I could tell what gear I was in at all times, and exactly when it was in each gate.
It is shorter than some old trucks I have driven, and it feels good.
But, as someone coming from driving sports cars, I didn't want people to think that it would be just like a mustang (like I have read before as well).

I believe you can add remote start to a manny tranny aftermarket. You just need to park in neutral for it to work.

The Mansquatch next year will have Trail Turn Assist (it is tied to Sasquatch, not Auto Trans).
Active Cruise Control will work on the Manual (test drive a manual Mustang if you would like to experience this).
I do think One Pedal and Remote Start are tied to the Auto.

EDIT
My source for this was a YouTube video, which was definitely wrong. After doing more research, trail turn assist is definitely tied to Auto, not Sasquatch.

Trail turn assist has nothing to do with Sasquatch. It’s currently tied to the auto.

Technically and mechanically, why is the trail turn assist not available with the 7MT? I can’t think of a technical limitation with holding the dig wheel brake on while applying both clutch and throttle using a three-pedal setup.

If there’s no technical limitation, can TTS be added to the 7MT folks (like me) either through an ECM tweak or with a/m parts?

Thanks

Compustar makes one that starts from your phone like oem. I want that once it's adapted to the Bronco.

I agree there's no reason for excluding it and I also hope for a hack.

I’ll reserve one of my AUX switches for TTA.

FoMoCo wants you to buy the AT.....

I agree with you, it's just a Brake Function and could easily be done on both the AT & MT.

I’ll wait for the hack or a/m fix - it will come...

This could be a game changer for me, I would love to see the source here. TTA, V6, and my wife are currently the biggest reasons to join the dark side and my wife is open to the idea of getting the MT.

Crawling with TTA would be
