One year, 32,000 miles, no problems. I have the ProCal which added the torque this engine needed. I average 22mpg real world calculation, I find the computer mpg to be four percent off. Honestly no problems what so ever except the MT trans grind. I'm not worried, I bought ESP protection up to 150,000 miles. If the trans is going to take a crap it will by then.
2021 Big Bend. 15k miles. No issues with engine.
Issues with the radio head unit all the time though. Syncing to Apple Car Play or it just shuts off and reboots every now and then when I’m driving.

Most modern 4cyl engines with direct injection are quite noisey. Doesnt bother me cause stereo wind and tire noises over power it lol. Woulda been nice to get an engine cover and hood pad to eliminate some of that.

What failed?
'22 BD 2.3L Manual, 42k miles. Change oil and rotate 5 tires every 5k. Only major issue was the trans scraping/grinding, which was replaced at 37k. They did the wiper software flash at that point too.
Other than that I love it, so fun to drive.

So your tranmission grind is no longer with the new tranmission? I'm going to start a new thread...
...with a poll...

After a couple thousand miles I thought maybe I heard something, so very faint, on a cold winter morning. I can't really say if it's the same issue. With it warming up here in MN I may have to wait until next winter to listen again. Wish I had a better answer for you.

honestly, nothing failed! bronco was great. just had a lot of smoke suddenly coming from the exhaust. immediately took it in, dealership performed a barascope (i’m completely butchering that i know) to diagnose the problem and found a leak. cylinder head was cracked.
Borescope. It’s just a tiny camera that you can snake down the spark plug hole to look into the cylinder.
4,000 miles, runs great. My only complaint is the engine sounds like R2D2 on startup. Runs sluggish until warmed up. Maybe wastegate and rich startup for emissions?
I have a ‘21 (Cyber Orange)25k mi and a ‘22 (Erection Green) 22k mi. Both are 2.3’s with zero issues. I had a ‘21 (Race Red) with the 2.7 that I traded for the ‘22. It was an early production mannequin and I did not want to encounter the 2.7 failure bug.!
