Roughly the same, there's a few ancillary parts that are different of course. but the 2.3T is like Frank's Red Hot to Ford. They put that s**t on everything!

All I'm hearing is that there's more 2.3T supply for broncos. /s

Well, duh. Let's be grateful they are keeping it in the Ranger, so we can have Broncos. If they put the 2.7 in, they'd sell 4x as many.

You do have to remember that if you're a European, buying a Mustang makes you somewhat of a fool to the general public's eye. It's brashly American, the 2.3 was never meeting their environmental regs even when it came out, and these types of cars sell in miniscule quantities due to these factors.

If you're over there and you actually want a Mustang, you're going to get the 5.0 V8 because you're a closet American anyway... Like Richard Hammond.

Same base 2.3, but I think the Bronco version is a variation of the Focus RS version. The base Mustang has the "regular" 2.3 and the "high output" 2.3 which is a close variant of the Focus RS engine.

There's an online article (Road and Track? Car and Driver?) that compared the physical changes (beyond tuning) to the different variants.
Yes, that excellent article actually had some really helpful Bronco6G member re-post it to these forums a while ago so people could read up on it. I mean, not @96ExplorerSport , but other users could read up on it. :)

I get both R&T and C&D, so couldn't remember where I read it.

I was going to commend your excellent ability to wade through the forum search results, but I side you had insider info about that previous post. 😄
