Hey thanks for watching! Please note this was from a Source close to Ford, not just speculation.TFL is really getting bad. Everything is going hybrid or electric so it’s pretty easy to speculate that.

I thought the 2.3 on the ranger is a durable engine?Not really perceived, both engines have alternators in very bad spots low on the engine, leading to a high likelihood of killing the alternator in an inopportune spot.
The 2.3L has known coking issues, and looking around the Ranger forum has beyond a reasonable number of engine failures.
The 2.7L is better to some I suppose, my experience with it soured after being left stranded away from home with a turbo failure, and dealing with multiple oil pan failures throughout the time I had it.
Adding in issues with non linear torque curve in a vehicle designed for an environment where linear torque is highly coveted and the added parts associated with turbos that provide no benefit over a properly sized engine and there is a lot of questions in the air.
Here you go. Get that check book outWhat’s a waste of money? If a V8 is a waste of money don’t buy it, as for me I would definitely pay a huge upcharge to not be stuck with a 6.
Its not released and you know all the problems already? Wow, that is crazy. LolSeems a bit tone deaf; doesn’t fix the issues the truck already has with the current engines, and doesn’t provide us the V8 that should have been available on launch.
But they’ll get their environmental justice points so there’s that...
I can see people doing this with their hybrid bronco. Rather than rock crawl, fly over bouldershybrid for off road is interesting, but the instant torque you get from that concept is an absolute win.
So why are you spending you money to buy a Bronco and supporting this dying industry?Ford's old-school approach to product management is tired and lame. The mentality which drives releasing undesirable features first in order to drive more sales over a longer period of time is exactly why legacy auto is failing at software development and the transformation to Mobility. Ford is the precious Prom Queen who teases but doesn't put out.
These new models are the last of the ICE cars...the money that runs the auto industry is drying up unless of course a company uses it to produce future tech. The same money is tired of legacy auto and them not putting out. Don't want to believe it, just read this ---> No more money for legacy development
Starting with a hybrid (versus full EV) is just the same product management strategy as above, only this time Ford is attempting to manage the banks who are lending the money. The banks however are the bad boys who call the prom queen's bluff and get her to put out.
If a hybrid is only another year away I will wait for that and skip the FE. In two years the performance and the battery tech of EVs will improve so much Ford will have no choice but to put out and produce an EV Bronco else face being out of money and left behind.
Imagining a Bronco that does 0-60 in 3 seconds - now that will be something.
Actually yes, as I said they are well documented.Its not released and you know all the problems already? Wow, that is crazy. Lol
Idk, I feel like the way you put it makes it sound like it's a bigger issue than it really is. Personally, I'm more comfortable going with an engine who's minor issues are known and manageable, and somewhat preventable, rather than an engine that's not tried and tested yet.The 2.3L has known coking issues, and looking around the Ranger forum has beyond a reasonable number of engine failures.
