The 2 doors look soooooooo much better compared to the 4 doors. Nice ride!

For sure. Every time I look at the Broncos on the Ford site, I'm always drawn only to the 2-door. Even though the 4-door is more practical for daily driving.

Nice. How do you like the manual?
Love it. Just the act of rowing gears is awesome. The stick clutch is smooth, throw is a good distance but shorter than what trucks used to be. Being able to control the gearing and rpm’s is so nice even when compared to auto man.
4.7 is so tall, first gets you moving but runs out fast. 6th gear has me running 2.5 at 80. Where my 4.1 12 rubicon was closer to 3.2 at 80. Its a beast of a rig!

That 2.3L is a decent engine, with good torque. I wish more new Fords would get that trans (2023 Ranger).

2.3 is strong. It pulls well. People forget it has about the same power as the 01 SVT Cobra did.

The stick needs to be an option in the ranger or better yet Bronco truck.

Id rather have my Bronco over the Bronco Raptor simply because of the trans!

5.0 or 7.3 manual with DR suspension would be my dream. Haha

This is awesome. I'd spec one VERY close to what you did.

Looks and sounds like a great rig!!!

Nice. It's one of the few vehicles on the market I'd consider as a replacement for my truck. I hate driving automatics.

A stick really should be an option for more models. Why not satisfy both the automatic and manual purists?! And a V8 with a manual would be the dream of many, sir. Many!

@ON D BIT lets see some interior shots of your rig.
You want me to clean it? Haha. I’ll get some later today.
