I'm able to do it on my Fusion and Equinox as well, only I just floor the accelerator pedal and turn the key. The motor cranks but won't fire.

I still wonder about this. If it is important and Ford built it as a feature, why did we/I have to learn about it on an Internet forum.
Did I miss it when I read the manual? Do my other 2 Eco-boost engines need this and their owners manual not mention it?

There are boatload of threads about the 2.7 engine And I follow many of them so I don't recall exactly which.
But I believe all the information about the part number changes in the engine updates are part of the big 2.7 blown (currently 31) thread.

It's kind of odd if I'm reading it correctly because it sounds like you are reading are pretty consistent. Yet we've seen many others whose state that their oil level will go from the max line all the way up into the twist if they let the engine sit long enough.
This has to be one of the biggest unsolved mysteries still outstanding on this forum. (Well besides Ford's decision making process)
its no mystery .... @NotApplicable said he put in 6 qts .... at 7 he would be up the twisty

Hopefully I’ve got enough in there… the dipstick says so! Lol

Yeah the mystery is the whole quart versus dipstick reading.
But even with the people that are up in the twisty, I didn't think that they were in the twisty at the 10-15 minute check? And only got there after say an hour or more.

so now that people are getting their broncos...and changing their oil - are we getting a full 7 quarts? what's the consensus? changing oil on my new truck shouldn't give me this much anxiety.

Getting ready for my 2nd change and there’s still no answer. Last time I started with 6 and added another 1/2 quart even though my dipstick showed full with 6. Added more after @flip said his engineer confirmed 7qt capacity. So basically ignore the dipstick and ignore the manual and shoot the gap in between for me.

Well they're too busy with all the blown engines to wory about how much oil they need to put in it.
I ended up adding another .125 qt, so right around 6.125 put me at just below the max fill hole, tho reads a tad lower (near top of hatched area) when checked 15 mins after being driven…
I really want to avoid ignoring the dipstick altogether because then we have literally no way to reason about how full it is >.<
