I drive fast, i used to drag race, I ride Harleys. I love the road. I hope Ford comes out with some kind of tune, because the first 800-3500 rpms are stupidly slow. yeah sure that turbo kicks in and youre off. but the turbo lag is insane. hell if you slam your foot to the floor straight out the gate the nose of the bronco hits the ground and barely putters on down the road until 3500. i mean the launch is ridiculous, itll leap off a line, and then just fall flat til the turbo kicks in. maybe its just me but i hate turbos and turbo lag. i went with a supercharger on my 06 cause i always wanted to make power. and hell even worse my MPG is like 13.4. thats ridiculous. the Bronco weighs too much and has terrible aerodynamics for a non boosted 4cyl, which is what you have until 3500 rpm. what makes this worse, is that while the 4 cyl weighs less than the 2.7L, they both weigh more than a coyote. which makes more power throughout the range than either. and it doesnt have to work as hard which in turn means better gas mileage with a lead foot. but thats just me....Good luck dude. Let's hope it's a one-off. Sorry you're the one, but I hope you are the ONLY one and this problem goes extinct.
Thanks for the info.
And, underpowered eh? Ah well. Maybe that tune will help.
