Personally, I question how many of the so-called Bronco Raptor "fans" have any intention of ever purchasing a BRaptor. I'm pretty sure there are going to be many times on the trail that I'm thankful for those flares Let the Outrage continue, lol.

If you're buying a Supra there's a good chance it's about performance but I understand the manual trans thing. I own a Z06 with a 6 speed manual and a Bronco with a 4 speed manual, it's fun to a point but there is an advantage with an automatic.

Manuals are for those who like to drive, automatics are for those who like to steer. Lol

You never had an automatic with paddle shifters? In the not so distant future you'll only be able to buy new cars with automatics.

What benefit do we have with the titanium paddle shifters on the raptor? I'm being serious why do we need to shift the automatic??

My current car has paddle shifters, it’s not the same. You’re right, manual transmissions days are numbered

You won’t need to, but can if you want to. I think I’ve used mine once just to see what the fuss was about

If you are on a trail and know what’s coming up but your Truck doesn’t you can hold a gear or down shift earlier but paddle shifters are really for shifting with your hands on the wheel.

If professional drivers use them, including in off road racing, they obviously have a purpose. That said, if most of us that drive the vehicle in a more traditional manner do not use them, they are probably a waste.

I don't know I actually use the paddle shifters all the time in my wife's Bronco Sport (Badlands). I'm not a brake rider and living in the mountains when going downhill I always downshift as needed to hold the sport back. Works extremely good and I have no professional training...haha!
