Yeah, that is my thought as well. Weight in f150 and bronco should be similar atleast and the engines are the same. I guess the part that i have clue about is the gearing. Do you think it would be a big difference?
I think that "modern" transmissions have so many years that math fixes things. The 3 or 4 speeds that I am used to had all sorts of issues because of tire and gear changes. The gearing of the 10 speed, as well as that 4A transfer case and the rear end radio variety should remove any issues at all. For example, my car has a 4.6, roughly the same power output and band as the 2.3 really feels different with 16"rims vs 17" rims. However it also has 3.53 ish rear end vs the 3.27 ish. Neither run makes the car feel like a real slouch. Why do I bring that up? Because the power is the same, the weight is roughly equivalent and the modern driveling is far more versatile. Either engine/trans combo should be more than fine. I'm going 2.7 Squatch just because the "look" or "perception" of the power curves seems flatter and wider.
