What current Ford model most closely resembles the feel of a Manual Transmission Bronco?

[TimetoExhale]

I would like to drive a current manual transmission Ford model that most closely resembles the feel of a Manual Transmission Bronco. Which model might that be? Will it be close to the feel of a 2021 Bronco?

The manual in the Bronco is all new so there isn't a 100% analog for it. I'd guess if you're looking for as close as possible, probably the Mustang, though the gearing will be off so using that to test the 2.3 won't be as close as driving the Ranger.

Aside from the power difference, my 2017 Mustang GT with the MT82 sounded and felt very similar to the MT88. Smooth if you try, but often clunky, mechanical feeling and noisey. The stick isnt connected to the transmission through a lot of linkages that soak up NVH (like a front wheel drive), and you sit on top of it with little insulation. Nonetheless, it reminds you that it's truck-like and is enjoyable.

As others said, Ecoboost mustang probably your best bet. Bronco is definitely more similar to that than say a Tacoma manual. Just know Bronco's manual is significantly nicer feeling than both.

That being said, hopefully you don't get one with the widespread scraping and rattle issue. If Ford doesn't come up with a real fix for this soon I'll likely be selling my Bronco for the new 6speed Tacoma in a year or so.

Hard to believe that someone hasn't said it yet...

"There's NOTHING like driving a Bronco!"

You'll be impressed.

That’s why people need to not dig up old posts and respond three years later.

Nothing like a revived 3 years dead thread. OP only made one post, so seems he moved on to some slush box afterall……

Thank you. He bumped a zombie thread. That’s the term I was looking for.
