That is not correct.
Are you talking about the 4.7 gears which would affect MPG's? The BL is the only model with the 2.3 and Manual that is standard with the 4.7 gears, 4.46 with Auto. All other models need the SAS to get the 4.7's and require the Auto. BD has 4.46 gears, manual and auto. I did misstate, BB manual has 4.46 gears but none of the extra hardware and weight of BL.

Have not been a fan of the OBX body color wheel flares or four door versions, but I have to admit, in VB it is pretty nice looking. I am not a soft top person either, but the fastback top on the four door does look much better then on the two door. All in all, that is a pretty sweet looking OBX.

Can I just add that, um...

This Bronco looks really nice. Wheels look great with the soft top. Painted flairs and mirrors look good with it all too.

Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming...

More likely to be caused by the 35" tires as the overall gearing includimg the tires is relatively unchanged.
But the BD has almost the same MPG as the sasquatch and the sasquatch has the same MPG as the badlands. The gearing and weight seems to be the much bigger culprit than the tires

Besides the armor, as stated above, the BL manual non SAS has 4.7 axle ratios, HD axles, also. The manual on Base, BB and OBX have 3.73 gears standard.
That is not correct.

You have several incorrect statements in the first post. I put it in bold.
1) manual trans on Base gets 4.46 gears
2) manual trans on Big Bend gets 4.46 gears
3) Outer Banks does not have a manual transmission available

MPG matches the chart, so the chart is accurate.

Every time I see this I'm intrigued by how BD gets like 20% worse highway mpg than a big bend.

I was worried when they quickly unveiled the 2 door fastback. Now with the timing of this with the MIC makes me think - oh boy. They are trying to appease all the soft top builds and lure the failed MIC top builds.
Which you know, I'd be fine with but... wildtrak doesn't come with soft top as an option -- at all

If Ford conceded that, I'd totally go with soft top just to get my bronco sooner

This is a non squatched OBX. If u get this same thing but with the Sasquatch package, will the fenders still be painted, or do u get the standard black squatch flares?

That’s not a completed vehicle. Sticker says it’s supposed to have a MiC top and roof rails.
