I am waiting on my Big Bend 2.3MT to be built. But, I have a 2020 Ranger with the 2.3. About 38k, pulls a camper and has done everything i ask it with zero issues. As other posters have said, keep up with your oil changes and enjoy.

I’m really perplexed. On both accounts. I thought the 2.7 Eco Boost was getting like 250,000+ in the F150??? I thought those were to be bulletproof?I haven't heard anything bad about the 2.3. Yes the 2.7 is known to have issues especially with the cam phasers giving up after 15k miles but if anything the 2.3 is known to be more reliable than the 2.7 so I really wouldn't stress about it or let it ruin your Bronco experience
Excuse me! Sorry I ruffled your feathers. As I said, I have issues other than this but it was a conversation starter. A lot of people had opinions and provided a lot of GOOD. Info to myself and many others.You really should do your research before making claims like these. We all have other things to worry about. WTF
I have a 2022 big bend with 24,000 miles, no issues. 2024 in production right now. Don’t worry!After seeing so many reports of bad 2.3 and the v6 engines on til too and other forums, I am truly beginning to worry. I have a 2.3 BigBend that I love which I have had for 17 months now and only 6500 miles. No issues thus far but everyone is saying 12 to 15k and these engines are knocking, locking up. Just worried after pay over 50k + crazy financing.
2.3L has been around since 1984, in some form or fashion. My wife had one in her ford tempo. Of course today’s version is much more capable. The motor is solid. It’s always been a solid little work horse.After seeing so many reports of bad 2.3 and the v6 engines on til too and other forums, I am truly beginning to worry.

Just hit 25,000 miles. No issues with just routine maintenance. I did install a catch can for longevity.After seeing so many reports of bad 2.3 and the v6 engines on til too and other forums, I am truly beginning to worry.

talk about a piece of crap, new oil cooler every 80k miles lol, and other things. Thats why I got a Bronco.My son is a mechanic in an independent shop and says he’s never had to work on a 2.3 ecoboost. The engine he repairs the most is the 3.6 Jeep V6.
