Patents

A Ford Global Technologies patent was discovered by Muscle Cars & Trucks, showcasing a new kind of manual transmission system that could make its way into Ford vehicles like the Mustang. The patent, granted in November 2021, describes a transmission with a stick that the driver would move through shift gates manually, just as you would in a traditional manual transmission.

We just saw a patent application for removable doors that are thought to be headed to the 2020 Ford Bronco. Now, another Ford patent app turned up that shows may hint at how a dual-layer retractable roof on the new Bronco might work.
