The torque rating of the 10R60 transmission is why I chose the 2.3L. Actually driving it just confirmed that choice. Getting built in a month is just a bonus 🤷🏻‍♂️
Have you been able to test drive the manual??

what were your impressions ?

Sweet videos - Thanks for sharing this!

I’ll still stick to my 2.7L though. I’ve never driven a Ford with a 2.7L to compare to my 5.7L Hemi, so we’ll see… I’m still thinking I’ll be underwhelmed, but hopefully I’m pleasantly surprised :)

It will be interesting to see what engine people choose when the Bronco goes on sale. My personal choice would be the 2.3 because (of course) it's the one with the manual, and because I've heard good reviews about the 2.3 when it's in the Ranger and Explorer.

advantages and disadvantages to both:

2.3 >> Metal oil pan with direct injection only ..
2.7 >> Plastic oil pan with Dual injection (direct and port)

I believe it's 2dr vs 4dr that decides the size of the gas tank. Not motor size. You still get the small tank with a 2.7 in a 2 door.😉

Overkill is part of my genetic makeup. However, after looking at the numbers and comparing the 2.3 to the 2.7 I fail to see any significance worth the extra money. In my case, the Bronco will never be “ ripping” it up . It will glide over the dunes on the coast, or meander through a wooded path. Asphalt is where the majority of its life will be spent. The 2.3 wins.

I’ve been inside a manual, but haven’t driven one yet. I’m not big into MT personally, but those who are will love it. The crawl gear especially is super impressive.
