I’m making assumptions based on the torque rating of the transmission. It’s pretty simple stuff.

I agree. The F-150 is just a beast in itself, and has great performance all around. It also has the 10R80 transmission, so it can handle more. If you drive aggressively, there’s no doubt in my mind that the 2.7 performs a lot better than the 2.3, especially with the 10R80.Valid points and I understand everything you are saying except comparing my previous 2.7 F-150 to my 2.3 Ranger was a pretty significant, noticeable difference in power and acceleration. The Ranger is not lacking power so I too went with the 2.3 in my Bronc. But mainly for cost savings of the $1,895 option and I think I have a better chance exceeding epa numbers more so than with the 2.7, just because I struggled keeping my foot out of the 2.7. If the performance is as similar as you described, either the 2.3 is programmed more aggressively in the Bronco vs the Ranger, or the 2.7 is more detuned in it's programming compared to the F-150.
Who is “we”? It sounds like it’s “you”.We are saying that the 2.7 will wear out the 10R60 transmission way faster than the 2.3 will. That’s all.
To make that assumption, let’s see your sturdy of torque ratings compared to failure rates. Otherwise, you are just pulling it out of your butt.I’m making assumptions based on the torque rating of the transmission. It’s pretty simple stuff.
Agreed! I know at some point after the warranty is up, I’ll probably upgrade the transmission as well.For what it is worth I am a Mechanical Engineer and have been beating the piss out of trail rigs for decades....trust me that the latter is more important.
This will be my first "nice" trail rig for more relaxed overlanding and exploring. I have no doubts that the 10R60 likely has 20-30% margin at an 80% duty cycle. Unless you are constantly bouncing over rocks with some stickies you will be fine.
Also save the thousands from the warranty and if you ever have problems you can get an aftermarket solution....10R80...and/or an Atlas 4sp T-case...problem solved.
People just get so defensive over their engine choices!!
Same here! They get mentioned a lot. I’m definitely thinking about purchasing an extended warranty.can you provide more information or experience with Flood Ford insurance? I am interested in this option.
Its the royal "we" man.Who is “we”? It sounds like it’s “you”.

Hadn't thought that far ahead.I think that’s probably smart. I’m going to do the same as well. You getting it through your dealership?
Where are you getting the 600 newton-meter spec? Is that for the Bronco variant? Are you sure that it isn't the continuous or nominal rating? If nominal, then it is potentially meaningless.The transmission is called 10R60 because it’s rated at 600 Nm. 600 Nm translates to 443 pound-feet of torque, which is very close to the 415 pound-feet (563 Nm) of the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. If you can’t see the problem with having a transmission with a torque limit so close to what the stock engine produces, then I can’t help you.
