No it was the fact that back in the day on the tranny stick, there was a L instead of a C. It's not new, it's not the craziest transmission ever. They literally had the same thing in trucks from the 80s.
Its nothing new, just hasn't been used in a few years. Its called a compound gear, Ford had one in the ZF-6 trans that was in the early model super dutys
That would be a nice feature at the boat landing, put it in 4 low, crawl gear to slowly pull a boat out of the water without stress on your drivetrain, even in 4-High would be pretty stress-free I'm sure, I haven't driven one yet
When you are in 4L in the crawl geer it's about 1 mph for every 1k rpm. That would be sweet at the boat ramp. Even with 4H it would be nice. I've heard some Bronco owners call it the traffic or drive thru gear. Honestly this crawler gear solves one of the biggest gripes people have for manuals.
Crawl gear lets you creep forward slowly in tight spots. Great for driving across rocks. There also are just times when you want to creep forward slowly. Not to mention it's also used to slowly and safely descend a grade, especially back when vehicles didn't have the best brakes. Back in the day, most cars had four wheel drums-not an ideal setup. There was a time when a manual was as important a tool for driving as were the brakes and throttle.
Consider that as a cheap theft deterrent. If they can't drive it, they can't steal it!mMy truck would have giant stickers all over it say things along the lines of "I (heart) my MANUAL TRANSMISSION!" etc. LOL
It's not bad at all, you have to really pull it to the left to get it in reverse (like years go), it almost resists you to put it into R! But with normal driving it naturally falls right to the correct slot for 1st gear. I've owned several manuals over the decades and even semi trucks, and never mistakenly put it in reverse.
I daily a Tacoma with the same configuration, minus the crawl gear of course, and without the collar to pull like this one, just gotta slam to the left and go up for reverse. I was concerned when I saw the pattern the first time (first 6-speed I ever drove) but it's really never been an issue at all. Can't really accidentally go into reverse.
If only it was available with the 2.7 V6
You mean 3.5 twin turbo
@@hacktay21 it would be nice that was even an engine option in the Bronco
@@hacktay21 I don’t even think you can get a factory 3.5 Ecoboost manual
@Ed G that's what I'm saying. It would be awesome to have the 3.5
@@hacktay21 Its ok bro
It’s just a granny gear, I must be getting old if people find that amusing, then again manuals aren’t common in the US anymore.
Real drivers only drive manual. Americans on average are the worst drivers in the world in terms of driving skills.
Agreed! Also, pulling up on the collar, reminds me of a split shift transmission.
New cars don't have granny gears anymore that's why it's so interesting.
So crawl is what you use for walking next to it while your loading hay.

The 80’s… I’m pretty sure the granny low or “L” was in use way back when manual trans weren’t even synchronized… early 1900’s
So 7 speeds and then a 2-speed transfer case?
It would be better if it Actually WAS A 7 speed. Too many 6 speeds in everything
Must have a super low gear when you're in crawl and for low
So how low is the gearing in 4L and crawl?
max rpm for 5kph😂😂😂
95:1

The ZF6 was offered all the way up into the 2010 super duty so I wouldn't say that's early model super duties
I wish they put this in the new ranger, that would be an instant buy for me personally
theyre back at it again with the marketing , just like what they did back in the day with the overdrive speed in older standards transmission
That’s not an innovation because we have same thing on Mercedes-Benz C 200 year 2000 and all similar manual transmission on Mercedes Benz sedans
Nazi wagon.
Millennial s
Oh, like a farm tractor then
Nothing anyone says could make me buy a ford bronco 😂
Better with 6.7 diesel
Not cool 😎 it's a nice transmission Ford hopes.
THE CRAWL GEAR IS TO CRAWL BACK FOR THE RECALL..READ THE REVIEWS..

No doubt.
Since the manual only comes with the smallest engine, is this still fun to drive? :)
Of course
Still a junk vehicle
Wow, very interesting! And yeah, I saw the new manual Broncos at the Utah Auto Show just in 22! Although I don't remember the C gear.

Standards are almost obsolete. This new generation can't even drive one.
American* other countries are phasing out manuals slower also blame the older generation that got tired of the manuals 😂

What situation is Crawl Gear for? That is not yet cleared up
Rock climbing for sure.
Chinese firedrill. You can get out and walk next to the Bronco.
Granny gear. It's a old people thing...fun boy.
Let me know when they add a solid front axle.
I wish they would offer this for the sport!
Thanks
putting r next to 1st is stupid

Will you teach us how to tie shoes next
