Interesting... Don't suppose anyone has 2.7 quarter times from both vehicles that we can compare?

I kinda thought it would be faster also. I have a 2019 Raptor and I knew it had another 100ish hp but it is also like 5500lbs.

Thought it would be closer but my butt says the Raptor is in the 5’s and the Bronco is in the 7’s to hit 60 mph.

Both on 35’s.

That damn F150 Raptor is super fast. Like you better get a good launch in your mustang or a big stock truck on 35’s is about to get out in front of you.

I have a 2021 F150 SCREW 2.7L with 3.55 gears and a 2022 Bronco 2.7L with 3.73 gears. Both with 32” tires.

There is no comparison between the two. I thought the Bronco would be a rocket ship with the 2.7 based on my experience with the F150, I was wrong. Ford limited the output in the Bronco big time cause of the weaker transmission. It’s still a fun vehicle, but kinda a waste of a good motor.
It can always be tuned. 😉

It’s to give it smoother and precise throttle control in off road situations. It’s by design.
They’ll laugh, but you’re right.

For everyone saying it’s a weak transmission problem it’s the same tranny in the braptor and the ST.

The Raptor is only a few hundred pounds heavier. A Sasquatch Bronco is like 5200 lbs and only 315hp on regular gas. Combine that with being severely torque limited to protect the undersized POS transmission....They're slow pigs.

I agree this 2.7L is neutered. My 3.5L F-150 is a rocket by comparison.

I'm still plenty happy with the Bronco 2.7L, it's a rocket compared to my 5.0L HO Early Bronco.

So 3.5 450 HP vs 2.7 330 HP? Go buy a 392 Wrangler, it can go 0-60 in 4.2.
Buy a Tesla S if you want to beat the pants off of a V8. 0-60 in 2.1

But seriously, my 2.7 Bronco on 32s has plenty of power at all stages. The only limiter is top end at 101. Been there.

Well, this just sounds like another reason I should be happy I went with a manual. I really enjoyed the shifting of that transmission, it was so smooth... I mean I was so smooth with the shifting 🤤 .

And the power seemed totally fine from the turbo 4 banger, but I'm coming from a 2002 Tacoma V6 manual with way less power. I only got to drive it on the ranch, but since the 2.3 comes in the Mustang, I'm looking forward to getting it out in the real world.
