My neighbor has a deposit on a cybertruck
When I'm standing in front of it is when I'll eat the crow. Same with you

Jeep sold 230,000 wranglers last year.Maybe when they compare the market take rate that Jeep has of manuals they will change things up in a few model years.
I figured that GOAT transfer case would need control over the transmission to make most of it's nonsense work.......mother gawkers!
Well, I'm out! Maybe when they compare the market take rate that Jeep has of manuals they will change things up in a few model years.

(For perspective Ford sold 195,000 F150s in Q1 of 2020 alone)
According to Fiat only 8% of all wranglers are sold with a manual transmission. This seems low to me just from observation.
At best the bronco is an R&D project. At worst its a personal vanity project. I dont think any sales number is going to move the needle here in what they build

bingo.If they were serious a Coyote/manual combo would be solid. But they will save that for 3 years from now once the first wave of sales dies down. Kinda like a v8 wrangler.

I was semi-excited to possibly get a base model Squatch....but the manual made up for the 4-banger.
That is a HUGE FAIL.
I have to ask..what is the appeal to a manual in a truck platform?
I dont get it.
Years ago when autos were slow shifting and power robbing and prone to failure..I got it. Sort of. Even then my inclination was to "build a better auto".
I get the fun to drive factor in a sports car. But I honestly dont get it in a truck. Why would you want it?
Does it somehow make you more manly to grab a stick and tug on it?

A manual makes everything more fun to drive. No one can argue that.
It's cheaper.
And in this case, it would mean more analog/mechanical/reliable driving experience ( this is a Bronco BTW, not the new Ferrari) vs. over hyped tech that most will never use but 'have' to pay for.
I get tech, and it's amazing when pushing a car to 10/10ths, but it is not needed here.
Your underdeveloped mind sexual innuendo is lame.
