Am I the only one who wants a OB with a manual?

Yes, yes you are :) Surely not I would think in all seriousness.

I was hoping for an OBX manual as well. Bummer it's not an option.

@mhat23, were you expecting a MT Outer Banks to show up in B&P? I think Ford's been pretty clear since the original reveal that MT would be an option for Base, BB, BD, BL but not for OB, WT, and FE.

Is there something keeping you tied to the OB that you couldn't go to a BD or BL if you wanted a MT?

I hope you're able to figure out a build that makes you happy :)

Just a few thousand dollars. Haha. No I know they weren’t going to offer it so I wasn’t surprised but it frustrates me how calculated they are to force you into the next higher trim level.

I am having a similar decision making dilemma as well. Really want that manual but my gut is telling me go with the bigger engine/auto as I might tire of rowing gears eventually. If only I could afford two!!

I cant be.

:mad:

And no, you are not. :)

I want a Base 4dr with a manual and they don't offer it with that either. Odd that they say few people want manual trans but they limit what you can buy it with. Especially a base model or even a high option model in your case.

The auto MT issue i heard from a you tube post was the transfer case. Its not designed to bolt to the 2.7. I could be wrong. But that may be why you have to get the auto with the OB.

That’s what I wanted in the beginning but then “had” to change to the Badlands. I think I’ll live........

I'd love a Brown interior like the OX has. I am leaning toward Badlands manual. Hoping my 22 has more options like Green paint and brown seats. Marine grade vinyl in brown would be nice. The green leather with diamond tuck looks awesome on the Filsom Concept bronco.

Badlands manual here.

Yep. That is why I went with BL instead of BD. I wanted the high package and the 33". I went MT recently so that wasn't a deciding factor at the time.

I BEGGED Ford to have a White on White on White Bronco....just like the Original..... crickets...... So we all get to settle for but burning seats in the summer......I really can't believe it.....actually... Why is Ford queltching all talk about white Bronco anything? Broncos even had WHITE GRILLES! Please! I wanted a stripper Bronco...even roll-up windows Gees...but not happening. A white on white on white stripper Bronco would have been the cats meow!!!

You are. You need automatic so you don't spill your Starbucks no-fat, latte with cinnamon sprinkles. LOL...(PS: I ordered an OBX 2-door.)

Isn't that why you drive with your knee??? So you can shift and eat/drink?

Lol that's the only reason we have knees so we can steer the vehicles I had a hard time shifting with my knees
