You may be right on the 2.7 with the lower torque. I hope it works great in the Bronco. I just really want that manual. I live in a rural area and it won’t be my daily driver so it’s perfect situation for me.That’s where I think the low end torque of the 2.7 is a great match for the auto and the 2.3 might not be as good. My 2.7 never feels sluggish, waiting for an up shift. I don’t think it’s that the transmission shifts faster , I think the 2.7 just spools and pulls at lower rpm, mitigating the issue. Manual would be better, just have no interest in a manual these days. Traffic sucks and driving a manual in traffic sucks worse IMO. Pushing me hard to the 2.7, although the 2.3 is still interesting to me for sure.
