Trying to locate a manual demo to test drive. Does anyone know of a manual that’s around the PA/NJ/MD area?

ugh, im jealous of the people im seeing who have been able to test drive a manual haha.
i've test driven both the 2.7 & 2.3, i honestly loved the 2.3 and think i had more fun driving that one. It was paired with the auto of course, but im sure id love the manual, which is what im planning on getting.

I can’t let you test drive mine but I can tell you this, if you like manuals you will love this one. It’s very very good.

How do you like shifting in and out of the granny gear? And also reverse? Is it a fairly smooth operation or cumbersome?
I've only sat in a manual trans Bronco at an early showing. The pull up lockout ring for reverse/granny gear seemed decent, along with the gates and shifting effort.

It’s smooth as silk. I use granny to pull into my garage!

It would be great to try one, but then again, it will give me something to try once I get it that I haven't seen!

For sure! I had a 2013 focus ST, everyone says it the bronco manual feels like the focus st/RS. I LOVED my st gearbox, so I’m sure this will feel great.
I test drove a 2.3 auto trans the other day, loved the power/torque feel. Way better than my v6 manual transmission JLUR lol
