Im leaving

[Lefty Lorenzo]

Hello and goodbye to everyone.

I have enjoyed and benefitted from this site but unfortunately since my service dog has passed and I now have my new one I have sold my baby bronco and gone back to a full-size bronco.

I'm just too concerned with the transmission to keep it much longer and I missed a manual transmission too much. I got a Bronco badlands with a manual transmission (2022) i couldn't afford a new base sasquatch manual which by the way is now $15,000 more than it was compared to my 2022 pricing. They wanted fifty six thousand out the door for a base.No, option bronco, with only the sasquatch package in your manual transmission.That's insane.

But I was able to get a used twenty two bad lands, manual transmission with what looks like a lot of options for I think it was forty six thousand out the door. So I'm super happy.

So thank you for all your help and I may pop in still sometimes if I can answer a question but for the most part this is good bye and good luck to all of you!

These days with the cost of vehicles used is the way to go. The Broncos and Bronco Sports are doing a decent job of holding their value, but yet you save around $15K to $20K in your pocket it's worth it.

Totally understand. I moved to a big Bronco (2024 2-Dr 2.3L/7MT Big Bend) exactly a year ago (but we still have a Bronco Support in the family). One of the biggies is missing the manual transmission (and, for me, the shorter wheelbase and lighter weight). The big Bronco is not without problems of course, but it's a better solution for some of us. Happy trails!

I’d like to give a shout-out to Granger Ford. I purchased my ESP through them — not only did they offer the best price and great terms, but it was also about half the cost of what most dealerships try to charge. I checked all the recommendations, and they still had the best deal. The purchasing process was easy and straightforward, too.

They are a great dealer. I’ve purchased both my Sport and 2 Door Heritage through them along with ESP for both. It’s hard to believe it’s coming up on 5 years with dealing with them.

I'm too happy with my 21 BB to get anything else. If I were, it would have to be a 2door if I went with the full sized Bronco. As it stands now, I have 60k on the clock and I'm considering ordering a new F150 in the spring while it still has value as a trade-in. It's going be a 2 door Reg cab, short box, 4WD and a V8. Of course black with rubber mats!

I’d recommend looking at the 2.7 V6, pretty bulletproof. Basically a diesel bottom end running on gas.

That’s pretty close to my preferred build, but I’d go with an extended cab. The little extra space in the cab is insanely useful, especially if you do a rear seat delete.

In Oxford White, of course.

2.7 V6? "there's no replacement for displacement" The coyote has more than proved it's self up to a 1,000+ hp with it's stock bottom end. As far as the extended cab? Had one, never used the extra space and I like the shorter wheel base for where I'll be taking it. Besides, who can argue with this look!!

I gotta admit, I’m partial to 2 doors with a V8 but in Oxford White!

Wow. Can't argue with you on that. PERFECT (except, of course, no manual transmission is available for that configuration). Really glad a guy can still buy a truck like this.

I consider doing just a new f one fifty with a coyote.Engine and the four by four system with the four auto.So I could do the all wheel drive launches, and then I was gonna put a supercharger on it.But I just really wanted the manual transmission, and I honestly just don't trust ford's ten speed.Just like I didn't trust our baby bronco's eight speed.But yeah, good luck with whatever you do
