However, it’s possible.
Ford recently responded to customer demand by pairing the off-road-oriented Sasquatch Package and a manual transmission . The three-pedal configuration will not be offered with the twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 any time soon.
Bronco Chief Engineer Eric Loeffler stated that models with manual transmissions are not being taken as much when compared to similar products in the market. Ford Authority . “We wanted to offer it to the traditional user who wants manual transmission but doesn’t want to learn as much as the manual.
The Bronco’s V6 2.7-liter engine produces 310 horsepower (231 Kilowatts) as well as 400 pound-feet (542 Newton meters) of torque. Only the 10-speed automatic can be hooked up to it. Two four-wheel drive systems are available for the SUV. Standard one offers a 2.72 to 1 ratio low range. Other options include on-demand 4H engagement as well as a 3.06:1 ratio lower range. The optional Sasquatch package adds locking differentials to the front and rear, as well as a 4.7-1/final drive ratio.
Ford’s Trail Control is also available on the 10-speed automatic. This tech basically acts as cruise control for offroading, so drivers can concentrate on driving the car.
Loeffler also stated to Ford Authority that the manual and V6 were available on the Bronco because of demand. He said that if customers ask for it, then we will have to consider it. You can keep asking the automaker for this setup if you are desperate. Then, maybe the larger engine will make the seven-speed available.
