[Dmk08]

Changed my vote to 2.3. Manual is what I want.

very disappointed that the 2.7 isnt offered with a manual, but I think having a manual in the Bronco is more important To me than the bigger motor and with a tune, the 2.3 should pick up another 50hp.

2.7 bigger is better ?

Does anyone know which is the highest trim I can get that comes with MT? I was going to get Wildtrack but I read that it doesn't have a MT option.

MPG is going to be a real concern for me, especially since I most likely will go with the Sasq package to get the front locker (primarily). But until those numbers come out, loading up the 4-Door Bronco with all the gear, and driving up hills at freeway speeds with the A/C going on a 100 degree day = 2.7 required.

Get the 2.3 Ecoboost Auto four door to save on some MPG. That is what I am doing.

I’ve gotta go with the 2.3. I would’ve taken the 2.7 in a heartbeat, but a manual transmission is the only true “must have” for me. I’m upset about not having the Sasquatch package option (hopefully that changes) but I’m putting my money where my mouth is and rewarding Ford for developing a new manual transmission, even if I don’t like everything about its implementation.

Same. At this point the power numbers are what matters not the number of cylinders.
I plan on going 2.3 / manual / 2-door.

2.3l, don't know how to drive an automatic

2.3 manual for me. if extra power is needed, i can put in a tune and new intercooler. if i want to go fast, i would have bought a different car. and 50kph+ in ontario is a huge fine, car impounded, license suspended, plus plus plus.

The Badlands is the highest trim level with MT option.

As for me, I will be going with the 2.3 just to get the manual. That little motor has a surprising amount of power even without mods, so I can live with it.

I have a 3.5 so hard to get the little 2.3 but my first choice is 2.7 but I might stick with 2.3 if I can use the 2.7 upgrade $ for something of more value to me. I can always explore 2.3 tuning, its going to bump it to 2.7 range anyways just need to accept warranty voids. I had a 13 Focus ST with a tuned 2.3 and it was night/day difference from stock.

2.7 because it's the biggest I can get for desert running

Since it was No Row No Go for me I was happy to be able to get a manual but bummed out about not also being able to get the 2.7. But after comparing the 2-door Bronco 2.3 with my 2008 4-door Jeep Liberty 3.7V6 I am still gaining power & torque - 60 more hp and 75 more # torque. And I will be losing 300# in weight. ? But I am losing 3 " in length - my gf not happy about that.
