Which perceived issues would those be exactly? And why would they dump a V8 in it right from the start, you canāt throw everything you have at the first model year, or else thereās nothing to keep it from getting stale years down the road. If youāre looking for v8 power either do it yourself or wait until itās offered. Just donāt be someone that buys a launch edition and then whines about it two years from now.Seems a bit tone deaf; doesnāt fix the issues the truck already has with the current engines, and doesnāt provide us the V8 that should have been available on launch.
But theyāll get their environmental justice points so thereās that...
Not really perceived, both engines have alternators in very bad spots low on the engine, leading to a high likelihood of killing the alternator in an inopportune spot.Which perceived issues would those be exactly?

I guess youāll just ignore the added components associated with turbos all pulling down reliability, the non linear power curve, and simplicity to fix them when your 200 miles from civilization.? ? Maybe they can pipe a V-8 Vroom Vroom in thru the speakers, ? Cuz THE only reason to buy a V-8 now a days over a Twin Turbo V-6 is...... THE SOUND??
Specially since Ford has made it a major investment and strategy, its not shocking the 2021 F150 and MachE prove that.TFL is really getting bad. Everything is going hybrid or electric so itās pretty easy to speculate that.
I was just like you until I traded in my Denali 6.2L for the Lincoln 3.5L and it changed my whole attitude, I mean over 450 ft/lb is pretty nice and I enjoy a good turbo spool, you can hear it on the NAvi too...but I get it V-8 sounds badass, maybe we will get a Bronco Big Block down the line but Im going to be happy with v-6 for the time being..Seems a bit tone deaf; doesnāt fix the issues the truck already has with the current engines, and doesnāt provide us the V8 that should have been available on launch.

I'll always Want to upgrade too but I still plan on keeping my Bronco for a long time. Hopefully longer than 15 years. I have had so many vehicles in the past that I wish I would have kept. My favorites were my 1964 Impala, 1990 Eagle Talon TSI AWD, and my 1993 4Runner. I also wish I had my Dad's 1969 Camaro SS/RS and my Grandmothers 1965 Mustang. If I can keep it, I will. I never realized any of those were keepers until many years after they were gone. At this point I don't think a hybrid Bronco would be on my Keeper list, but a Warthog/Raptor might be.My original rationale of "I'm going to keep this truck for 10-15 years" is not going to happen. I know that i'll get the itch and end up trading it in a few years down the road if they keep releasing faster and more modern versions.
What Ford has spent billions on bringing the Bronco to market has been established. Long lead parts, equipment and contracts are already in place. You can find fault with some aspect of every brand and model out there.Not really perceived, both engines have alternators in very bad spots low on the engine, leading to a high likelihood of killing the alternator in an inopportune spot.
The 2.3L has known coking issues, and looking around the Ranger forum has beyond a reasonable number of engine failures.
The 2.7L is better to some I suppose, my experience with it soured after being left stranded away from home with a turbo failure, and dealing with multiple oil pan failures throughout the time I had it.
Adding in issues with non linear torque curve in a vehicle designed for an environment where linear torque is highly coveted and the added parts associated with turbos that provide no benefit over a properly sized engine and there is a lot of questions in the air.
