How stupid am I for still clinging on to hope for the 2.7 V6 to be paired with the 7MT?

Well guys, a year after being told "no" to this option combination, I'm still here daydreaming about it. I'd like to know if there is anyone else holding on to hope for this to happen in the future? @Ford Motor Company

Nobody wants it more than I do. The 2.7L is an exceptional engine and better than the 2.3L in damn near every way possible.

I voted for extremely stupid, but will be the first to trade in my 2.3L/7M Bronco for an identical 2.7L/7M if it were ever made available.

You have a better chance of Ford releasing an all electric Bronco with fake shifting.

Toyota has patented a manual transmission electric car that has one gear.

I wouldn't put any faith in a "YouTuber said that an off-rodeo rep said...". When I went to the off-rodeo the reps made it very clear that they are not Ford employees, and while they are experts in off-roading, they are not experts in everything Bronco.

Ford does not currtently have a manual bell housing that mates to the 2.7. The cost of design/testing/certification required to get a manual 2.7 built and approved for a single use application with a low take rate is prohibitive.

Very true. Just like the guy who started this thread. Very hopeful even though it would never happen lol

another thread rez? Why?
Probably because if the newest poster on the old thread started a new thread about the topic, some condescending members would pipe in and so gleefully point out "how to use the search feature" instead of starting said new thread.

B6G forum posting can be a slippery slope....
