Old enough to know better, young enough not to care.
2021 Bronco, 7 speed manual just because I could. Less computer integration.
Too bad you can’t get a manual transfer case with real levers.
Today’s automatics are adaptive to your driving style, the computer is constantly monitoring and adapting, great technology but a lot to go wrong. What will hold up better in the long run?
I don’t think there is any real advantage to a manual over an automatic anymore, just personal preference.
My first manual was in a ‘44 Willy’s jeep, top speed 40 and no brakes, that thing was a climbing machine. If you are familiar with push-up field terraces, it would climb right up the steepest ones I could find. Drive it through culverts and up creeks.
