and they did in the 2021 Raptor ... goto the 11:20 mark in the video below. It sounds fantastic in person



It has not, but my point is that Ford is perfectly capable of making a V6 that sounds halfway decent

Yes. All Americans want a V8.

The only reason why the hell cat even exist because they buy green credits from Tesla. The hell cat and all v8s will die soon. Enjoy it before it goes away.

BTW ... it is funny how the world works .. we often want things we can't have and once we have it we want something else.

After a bit of research, it would appear as though the Ford 7.3 V8 is dimensionally smaller than the 5.0. I’d be perfectly happy to see a 7.3 pop up in a special edition Bronco.

its not a powerboost and the 4xe sucks

the powerboost is only made possible by tons of batteries which the bronco has no room for. If it did have room for that it would be great. But its just a 3.0 hybrid. Which is a joke for an offroad premium vehicle no matter WHAT number they post about performance.

And putting the coyote in the bronco would not be hard for ford. It fits , and for the f150 its like a 2000 dollar option.

its really just an EPA/ford being stupid and lazy thing.
The 3.0 in the ST is not a hybrid. It’s a twin turbo v6 good for 400 horsepower and 415 foot pounds. Easily tuned for much more. No joke about it.

I honestly think it sounds nice. If it has more power, torque, and efficiency than the coyote v8… why do y’all still want it? The sound..? Are we toddlers..?

the raptor bronco is completely disconnected from what the people who want to spend a premium on an off road vehicle want (and we are already spending a premium on the normal one)

a 3.0 liter hybrid engine for a truck that people want to do hardcore offroading in is stupid and insulting. If ford cant do it because of the EPA that isnt our problem as customers , its their problem for not lobbying the government for a carveout. They are ford.

People are doing coyote swaps in the ranger. It can work

The problem isnt us , its not the platofrm , its ford . who by the way just unveiled a 200k limited production v8 bronco that nobody can buy
Your idea that a V8 is the only way is dated and simplistic. I have friends who do "hard core" off roading in old beat up Toyota trucks with 4 bangers that would destroy most vehicles out there. You don't need a v8. Would it be nice? Hell yeah it would be, but its 100% not needed. People are acting the 5.0 is Jesus... My Ecoboost f-150 would destroy all 5.0 trucks even before I tuned it. We can agree to disagree but I'm right... :oops:

I've worked in the auto industry and have seen what consumers are buying. Ford knows what they are doing as long as they can get them built.

"Y would destroy X"

sorry but its not about numbers anymore. Electric has every engine beat

the reason you want an engine going forward is simplicity ,reliability, and sound.

the coyote is the best engine ford makes

the Godzilla is the best engine ford makes
Totally agree, but with one exception..... (which I corrected in your post) ;)

The Baby Godzilla engine in my opinion would be a great fit for the Bronco.
