Has weaker torque at every RPM, too, so the Coyote isn't really anyone's ideal truck engine. The appeal is strictly aural, I imagine.

But that’s not what you were originally referring to. Based on your previous post I thought you would be excited to be able to carry an extra cooler of beer with the increased payload from the lighter V8.
FWIW I would pay more for a weaker V8 that didn’t leave me stuck with a turbo failure about 1,000 miles from home - again. Though if given the option I would go for the 7.3L

It’s really the perfect engine. Also a nice FU to Jeeps 6.4L Wrangler.
I wonder if the bronco is the most expensive non hybridized 4 banger out there?

It's all about emissions and fuel mileage estimates overall for tge brand. If you want more power.....5Star tune has tuned a 2.7 in a f150 to 600hp

How long before those tunes cause the EPA to start fining people $10k per instance?
Another LS performance parts designer released a letter yesterday they were ending a sizeable amount of production due to the EPA coming down on them.
Particularly with turbo engines Increasing engine timing, raising cylinder temperatures - you start creating more NOX emissions, not the fake bologna CO2 emissions.

I'm not racing mine in any off-road events. So my dog has been put away. Ford has to comply with EPA regulations. We'll see how long the Rubicon 392 will last.

The 392 just got promised to another new upcoming vehicle in the minivan-tastic Grand Wagoneer. So I imagine it’s safe for at least another 6-7 years.
Therefore, the Rubicon’s 392 will likely last as long as Wranglers generational life.

Also you are incorrect, Ford does not have to comply with these particular EPA regulations. They are free to slap the 6.8L into everything they produce and charge customers a couple hundred dollars extra to satisfy the bureaucrats with their pay offs as FCA does.

Can the tranny handle it? Probably not stock

Depends if you live in a state that tests or not?

They definitely don’t test on older than 2000 in my county. And for that matter I don’t think they actually check tailpipe emissions in anything. Probably just checking the computer for codes.

My state they don’t check emissions at all. In fact I know a few places for $10 you get a sticker and can pass inspection on a totaled car. Ymmv
