Sign me up for a 2.7 manual BB and while I'm dreaming throw in the 4.7 ratio with the 210 up front
I'll take care of the rest

I also went 2.3 but only because Im trying hard to keep this under 40k out the door. If money wasnt a factor then 2.7 all day.

Limited to base package only due to locked to low trim, but the manual 2.7..... hmmmm...
I would probably skip the Bronco altogether until such time as I could get a seat heater and some creature comforts from Ford. A manual 2.7 that forced a lux package would still sell out at big profits.

2.3l MT non squatched badlands is all I want/need. I’d rather spend the engine upgrade dollars elsewhere, and you already get the ‘squatch mechanicals on the BL. No interest in spending $2.5k for wheels and tires.

Serious question...will the 2.3 really be that much better to work on? It seems it will be physically smaller but does that translate to an appreciable amount of room. I know that every inch counts obviously*

I would be very interested in a 2.7L paired with a manual transmission, however I wouldn't get it the first year it was offered, as Ford would have to start from designing it. However, Ford is recycling what they already have with the current setup. I'm getting the 2.3L with a manual because it's been tried and tested.
I'm with you. Electric motors have insane power and I prefer towing with a manual. Just was commenting that current batteries don't have the energy density to haul heavy loads long distances is all.
What's funny about this thread is that I don't drag race and close to 20,000 foot pounds of torque is way way more than the tires can apply yet I'd still buy the v6 manual in a heartbeat.

I wanted the manual, wife wanted the automatic. We compromised and getting the automatic.... 
... In hind sight, the manual is a brand new transmission, and I'm all about proven reliability at this point, so there is that as well...

Have you driven an EV. They are like a manual in respect they are always "on cam", which is why we diehard manual drivers like manuals, because we get to decide to keep the engine in it best power range. Auto's are tuned for fuel consumption, which is why they suck
I'd take an EV over a DCT or torque-converter any day of the week.

The new 7 speed manual has a torque limit of basically 400lbs, it was stated in a video not too long ago. Ford will not put that transmission behind the 2.7 from factory knowing it's basically maxed out and problematic.
As for a new manual transmission capable to handle the 2.7, I don't see Ford doing that.

I'd go with a 2.7L Mansquatch if it were available. But I did not even consider stepping down to the 2.3L to keep a stick. 10 times out of 10 I'll take the upgraded motor even if that means getting an automatic.
And many of us would rather give up the the extra .4 liters and power to row our own gears, especially in a vehicle like this. If the auto had a real sport mode with paddle shifters, it may be an easier decision. Major let down that Ford didn’t give us the 2.7 Manual option.
