The title is primary question. The follow up I guess would be what is your major concern with this combination?
Here is mine....I have myself convinced that the 2.3 will be fine with up to 32's/33's with any of the available gearing choices, especially with the 4.27 and 4.46 options. I'm also convinced that Ford has run 2.3 pretty hard with the 35's, auto and the 4.7 gearing and hit their benchmarks. I mainly want it for the looks and the top off/doors off ability. It's not a race car and honestly will have limited use off-road. And I'm kinda guessing that is the market they are aiming for with this combination.
But for the cost of the 2.7 upgrade, for me, isn't a factor in the purchase. If i get the 2.3 and end up tuning it later, that's going to be around $1K and a premium gas hit!
Ugh.....what's everyone else thing?
