I loved the diesel on my late JGC (an earlier VM engine). It wasn't fast, but so smooth, torquey and sipping...
Is the Bronco going to have a manual option? Saw a rumor to that effect. |

Manual option is all but confirmed, 6 speed with a low-end creeper gear, though it’s not clear which engines it will be available with.
Engines are likely the 2.3 turbo four from Ranger and a twin turbo six, probably the 2.7, which makes 325 hp/400 lbs-ft in the F-150. Probably not on diesel, at least at first, though Ford has one in the F-150 it could use. But diesels don’t interest me much these days. |

Turbo six cylinder sounds interesting

It is very hard, to my mind, beat the simplicity of the Jeep. But I’d try a different approach for sure.

Lots of new info here, including pics of the manual shifter:

It would be nice to have an alternative to the Jeep Wrangler.
