Holy Cow--maybe 7 speed MT and a 2.7 EB!!!

I saw this post on Autoblog and other references on Road and Track. Ford may be developing a 7 speed MANUAL TRANS for the Bronco with Getrag, and put the 2.7 Ecoboost engine into it! This is really cool but I see a $40,000 plus price tag alongside this drivetrain...

This is what we're talking about! Please let it be for real!

Already knew it’d be expensive... hopefully it’ll be worth it.

Woohoo! Manual transmission .. fingers crossed

Sad to say, $40k these days is average. Not that I can afford to pay that much, nor would I even if I could! :-roll

Agreed. $40,000 for a vehicle that in 5 years is worth half and also 3-4k in interest

I would point out that both the 5.0L V8 coyote in the F150 and the 3.0L V6 in the new Explorer and Lincoln Aviator also put out 400lbft of torque.

The _option_ for a manual transmission is one of the things that I think could help this new Bronco make the same appeal that the original did, back when it was marketed as the Mustang for off roaders -- and making it a 7 speed would let Ford one-up the competition (literally and metaphorically).
