Right. I’m a 35 yr old mother of 2 youngins and I will not budge on the 2.7. If the Raptor version was in my budget I’d be waiting for that release, LOL.dude, you're young. I'm 51 and still want more power.

I was just about to write something like this.I mean - you are talking 26 years in technological & mechanical improvements. Apples to Oranges, lol. If you actually have to compare a vehicle to something so outdated to feel better about it, OUCH, lol….

It's all relative. Yes 2 different vehicles but it's also really hard to call a new 2.3 Bronco slow compared to an almost 8,000 lb truck with a whopping 160hp when brand new. Yeah it had 400 lb/ft of torque, but it wasn't getting there fast. My point was if you want to call it slow, there are lots of other metrics out there that prove it isn't.I was just about to write something like this.
Do you use that same reasoning with computers?It's all relative.

That's no different than you guys saying the 2.7 is fast! Ok go hop in a Corvette, that 2.7 is now slow.
I want a manual. Way more than I want the higher power of the 2.7. So until the 2.7 has a manual, that means 2.3 for me!
Bro, you better buy an old camry. With that mindset you are already 75 years old.I really think I'm going to end up downgrading to the 2.3 with sasquatch. I'll be 36 soon and my days of driving like Vin Diesel are coming to an end.
I sure can. At work I have 2 computers. One is the oldest computer on the network, the other is relatively new. I can do the same tasks on them, but if I'm thinking my newer computer isn't running the greatest and is a little sluggish currently, I just remind myself I could be attempting to do it on my other computer.Do you use that same reasoning with computers?
Because there is higher demand for the 2.7s. I'm curious how much of a increase in wait time it really equals though. Worth it to me.I ordered mine with the 2.7 because all I can think of is my father saying "That's not enough engine for a vehicle that large!" Technology has changed, but I still can't get over it.
That said, the dealer told me that the 2.7 will add to my wait time significantly. Anyone know why, by the way?
I test drove a 2.3 squatch yesterday and it had plenty of power. I took it to a very steep incline and gave it some juice. I was pushed back into my seat. It has plenty of power.So since the beginning I've been deadset on the 2.7 and sasquatch, However, as of late I've been strongly considering downgrading to the 2.3. I know the 2.7 has more oomph, but realistically in stop and go city traffic with the occasional highway driving, is the 2.3 really much of a downgrade realistically? My main reasoning is MPG, but won't that go out the window with the sasquatch package?
Just curious what others on here who have driven either or both think.
I still felt the 2.7 was lacking, but it's at least acceptable (granted the 2.7 I drove was Sasquatch so maybe the big tires are holding it back too). Regardless, it's an engine that makes the truck feel more well rounded.It's all relative.

Early on the 2.7 was a constraint. I don’t think it’s still the case but it could’ve changed back to being one.That said, the dealer told me that the 2.7 will add to my wait time significantly. Anyone know why, by the way?
Thats some really bad “logic” when using it to buy a new product, but you do you.I sure can. At work I have 2 computers. One is the oldest computer on the network, the other is relatively new. I can do the same tasks on them, but if I'm thinking my newer computer isn't running the greatest and is a little sluggish currently, I just remind myself I could be attempting to do it on my other computer.
I figured I just didn't know if there was some other bottleneck. When I was at the dealership, they wouldn't even give me a ballpark date for an order with a 2.7.Because there is higher demand for the 2.7s. I'm curious how much of a increase in wait time it really equals though. Worth it to me.
