Was she telling the truth? ?

How was the interior of the Big Bend? Wandering if it looks cheap versus some of the higher trims?

Just pick up the first round and we’ll call it square. ?

Deal! Thanks again for the opportunity!!!!

Excellent post and reporting! Thank you, someone buy this man a beer!

great review, especially coming from a Jeep owner, really exciting to read! Can't wait to sit in mine, but I have to, LOL.

Prior, LJ, but enjoyed it and wanted another, but couldn’t deal with the ride and drive ability.

How was the power with the 2.3 sasquatch?

Good, almost the same as my sons 2.3 Ranger FX4. Great low end, solid drive ability , reasonably quiet. Solid choice and if the delay is to great, I will change my order without worry.

As I have had access to a 2019 Ranger FX4 for the past 2 years daily, the 2.3 is more than enough motor to motivate the Bronco.

This is so great to hear. The excitement builds even more and it's a long wait. Thanks for sharing this with us.

Still waiting for people to come around and realize it would be plenty of motor. Still can’t get rid of the “V8” mentality no matter how hard you try. ??‍

I was going to get the 2.7 but now considering 2.3

Look at you casually slip this comment in. No impressions? We'll take anything we can get! Lol.

But.... But I already have a 7.2 ltr V8..... And a 3.8 ltr inline 6........ And a 2.5 ltr inline 4 turbo.

I guess when you're already rocking most engine configurations and cars with, carburetors ranging from 750 cfm to dual 240 cfm's, 6-volt systems, positive-ground , Huck, Drum and Disc brakes, you just don't get that throbbing erection for a 2.7 ltr inline 4 twin-turbo built for truck duty.

I'll tell you though, ANY of those motors paired to a car with huck brakes and leafed front suspension and you're hot rod will be throbbing so hard in your girls hands at 25 mph you won't give one hot damn for any other car on earth when you're driving it (mostly because you're going to die at any second). You better make that one stop count before the brakes overheat!

Congrats! So jealous! Glad to hear a review from someone not on Fords payroll.

Man, I just don’t see where the 2.7 goes under the hood. The 2.3 already looks really crammed in there. The extra power is obviously awesome but that’s so much heat in a small area. I’m guessing the 2.7 might have some heat soak issues. The 2.7 isn’t NEARLY as crammed in an f150 engine by, at least just by the preliminary looks of it. Only time will tell!
