Hello all. I have been considering a new Bronco for a couple of years now. It will come down to a 2-door manual Badlands with Sasquatch, HOSS 3.0, Lux, and other goodies… or a Raptor. I test drove a used 2025 Raptor after making nice with the salesman, who was gushing over my pristine Focus RS. The Raptor was quite a ride, but I don’t know if I can get back into an automatic after driving only stick for nearly 25 years now. I haven’t tried a manual Bronco or any configuration of the 2.3 for that matter. But a manual 2-door Badlands specc’d the way I want it comes in $20k below a Raptor the way I would configure it (Code Orange and leather at the very least). So the money is a factor but it’s not everything. I like having the final versions of cars. I bought my 2018 Focus RS for that reason. 1 of just 1,000 for the final model year. Among the last of a dying breed of manual hot hatches. I may have to sell it to get a Bronco but we’ll see. It’s got everything I ever wanted in a car: six-speed manual, turbo, all-wheel drive, fast, fun, everyday usability. Ideally I get the final 2-door manual Bronco. That would seal the deal for me. I don’t know if that’s a couple years off or will Ford continue to produce the configuration into the next generation, which will be around the end of the decade I assume. I’m waiting to see what 2027 has to offer. Glad to be here! 🚙 💨

Im looking to trade my ranger for an 02 f250 7.3 6 spd. it has the ZF S6-650 6 Speed 4WD trans. it currently does not have 3rd and 4th. couple questions. A. How hard is it to rebuild these? B. How hard is it to find a good one without ordering a reman online? im heavily considering both options but want a second opinion from people that are far more expierenced with fords than me. im willing to do the work to rebuild it but im also just fine with swapping it.
