2.3 is at least 270-310hpFrom all that we have seen, what can you point to that indicates that the Bronco will somehow surpass say, the 4runner?
Removeable top? ok.
rear axle, stronger, yes. But you don't just lift the rear or put big tires on the rear, you do the same to the front.
and the front? Actually looks less capable than the base 4wd 4runner IFS.
So, while we have likely not seen everything or all options regarding front suspension, what we have seen right now is that the base 4wd 4runner will be more capable than the base bronco. Maybe if the Bronco is 10k cheaper, that's fine, but if they are within a stones-throw on price, the 4runner wins out there.
As we only have that to compare it to so far...the Bronco does not appear to have any performance advantages in any segment we can put it into yet, excepting maybe the 2.3EB and 2.7EB as compared to the Taco/4runner 4L V6, which imo is pretty anemic, about on par with the V6s from the 90s.
2.7 should be over 300 minimum
Add to that easy of power and what it lacks in suspension it makes up for in power in it's class
Also, hey Toyota, the 90s called, they want their engines back!
