Week of 7/16 build date. Woot!
Standard plates for me.
My wife is unconcerned about street cred and it genuinely bothers me to be buying a 4-banger, but she’ll now get the chance to learn how to drive manual - as will my daughters. Looking forward to this one. She hates the idea, but time for me to get what I want out of this purchase.
That's a good dad!!! (And husband)
Don't be concerned about the cylinder count. Ford's got that engine platform pretty dialed and it actually has crazy good power. Won't have the raw grunt of a V8 (not that the new one even has a V8), but it'll have WAAAAAY more power than the V8 in the old Broncos, that's for sure. It's a fine motor. I'd have no problem with it. Besides, horsepower difference between that and the 6 is negligable (30 maybe?), and it's torque is still not bad. 325 vs 415 lb-ft. Worth it to get the manual IMO!!!
Having my daughter learn to drive a manual transmission was a major win. She hated it. But she is grateful. And her new to her car is a manual. Thing #2 spent a lot of time on it. Thing #3 didn't get as much time before I returned the last lease. Nothing like having them learn on someone else's clutch. Worth every penny.
Full agreement with you on observations about the power plant. It dwarfs the small v-8 in an old explorer I’m keeping and can’t seem to kill. Been the best $ for $ car I’ve ever owned.
Have a buddy who just got the Jeep 392. Still rather have what’s on the way to me, but damn that engine sounds great. Little different numbers with that one than v-8s of old, but the I-4 remains somewhat competitive. Beats the hell out of the manual Penstar on Ribicon manual. Hoping for the best!
Stoked for you MK. My stepson told me if I got him a stick he wouldn't drive it so I gave him a stick of course. I did have to replace the clutch last year because the throw out bearing failed but totally not his fault...it was already making noise when I gave him the car. I always teach that if you aren't stalling the car once a day you are slipping the clutch too much.
Really looking forward to hearing how these manual Broncos pan out for people.

Just spotted a full size in the wild for the first time. Gotta say, the 4 door is pretty fuckin massive. Looked significantly bigger than the wrangler from a side view.
