Another Bronco needing replacement engine? [Speculation for now]

[Exomodo]

Not promising

Looks like an aviation "Best Tug" as promoted by YouTuber Mike Patey's company. Odd that they would be using one as that is a very specialized piece of equipment only found in airfields/airports... Highly sus.

Hopefully everyone who is now concerned over a few posts about an engine failure will cancel orders or reservations and get out of the way for folks like myself who can’t wait to acquire my Bronco.

If it was a two door it wouldn’t have broken down.

I basically come here just to read your posts.

They have shipped over 30k of these things so far. I'm sure if this was any kind of recurring issue we'd of heard by now. It took no time to hear about the hard tops delaminating or the soft tops rubbing.

Okay. I’m also an order holder. I’m just observing those who have taken delivery of their rigs and how they run… there’s been multiple occurrences of engine failures on this site alone. Yes the info isn’t confirmed from the screenshot, but I’m hoping it’s not the continuation of the 2.7 theme. I don’t think it’s that easy to shrug off valves dropping like this.

mine was supposedly built 2 weeks ago with that engine and I have zero expectations of failure, shit happens, but this is not an engine Ford just stitched together over a week, it's in use in tens of thousands of vehicles. I'll get worried if I hear of or see many of those on the side of the road, waiting for a towtruck. Haven't seen a single one.
Internet conspiracy and panic making is just too funny~~~

I don't buy an over arching engine issue. The internet would break if all fords started lunching motors. Although if this was a picture of a Land Rover there would be 56 pages on my LR's are the worst thing ever.

GD, I get sick of the guesswork and conjecture on this site. "Are aliens stealing the chips for Broncos?" crap is getting old. I'm about to get my Bronco, then will be happy to leave this social media and it's negativity behind.

There’s like 4 cases of this on here like I previously stated. But I guess if the engine fails on our rigs we could just LS swap it?????

I’m really not trying to be “negative” I’m an order holder like you…. I’m being observant that’s all. If y’all don’t want people to share about issues they find with the vehicle then don’t join a forum. That’s kind of what they are made for?

Funny thing.. I was drinking in a corn field last night and......
Hang in there brother it will be all good

I'll probably go balls deep and do the SAS while I'm doing the Godzilla V8 drop.
Pro-Rock 60 or something.

Man, this is B6G. Fans are so convinced the Bronco is the best rig ever built, that even if they watched a young family take delivery and go up in a ball of flames before leaving the lot, they would be absolutely convinced it had nothing to do with Ford. You would almost think none of these guys have ever actually owned a Ford before….

…I have had (5). I knew exactly what I was going to be getting into.

No, they're made to get information and to feel good about what the "hobby" is. This forum is 50% negative nellies, constantly filling threads with snark, sarcasm, attacks, arrogant posts about "if you are worried about XYZ...maybe the Bronco isn't for you..." Maybe it is just the generation posting, but the negativity, defeatism, and sardonic lethargy are tiresome. In my generation, we'd say it's about raising hate and discontent. I'll leave all of that in the dust in about 3 weeks, I don't need any of this. I was excited when I discovered the Bronco, ordered it, will drive it and decide for my SELF what I think....after a year or two.
