To be honest this is probably the last sizes of motors weā€™re going to get for a long time as in ever. With everything going hybrid then electric. I donā€™t see new sizes coming soon

My 90s Bronco has a 5.0L V8 that puts out... 190 HP (30 years ago) and gets 12 MPG.

The 2.3L puts out what, 290 HP and may get 20+ MPG, and with a turbo does good at any altitude?

Let's move on from the sound, and look at the numbers. If the engine is reliable and powerful, I'm all in on a four cylinder.
You realize in the past 2-3 decades V8s have significantly improved, if you have to compare a 90s V8 to a 2020 4 cylinder I think it speaks volumes to why the 4 cylinder is a bad choice.

My 4 door 4x4 work truck with the 5.3L gets 25-26 HWY all day long.
The new Ford 7.3L with 4.30 rear end seems to be averaging 15MPG, thatā€™s daily driver mileage for most people, which was unheard of for a gas HD truck even 5 years ago.
Thereā€™s a huge market for an open top V8 off-road SUV, Ford is making a mistake ignoring this.

Letā€™s leave the turbos for the ecoweenies in Europe and make a SUV with raw American power.

It canā€™t meet the crash regulations. It will be available aftermarket no doubt. So save your $$ if you must have a V8
