Didn't know 3.0 was an option. I'm going with whatever offers manual.

Not all of us will.
4.27 is very low. 4.10 used to pretty rare on the street. That was with 3 and 4-speed auto's. manuals will have crawl and auto's have 10 speeds.

Base is 3.73 with the auto, same as the Ranger and some F-150s.

It is not irresponsible. If you have something to provide I am open to listen to you as you are a mechanic. You are saying there are no issues with the 2.3? Head gaskets, blocks, injection? Please convince me to stay with the 2.3. I noticed that "mechanics" love them or hate them.

Most people; including myself prefer an inline 4. Take a look at the Toyota 22r with 135hp with 35's and gearing can climb walls with 300K on the odometer. I am concerned on longevity and reliability.

I didn't realize there was a 3.73 offering. Still not going to affect reliability. Broken 2.3's are from early teething problems in 2015 and abused motors in later Mustangs. I think there is just a culture of V8 purists that cant stand for 4 cyl being an option trying to tarnish it.

As far as proving anything, no, I just hate to see someone's dreams watered down because anyone who buys a tuner license can build a tune, or young kids wringing the crap out of a high strung 4 banger all night long. Make your own decision, but don't do it solely based on tuner websites.

I've never needed or wanted removable top and doors. I probably won't even use that feature on the Bronco. But everyone has different needs and wants. To each their own, and such.

Also, in before someone says "Everything is removable if you have the right tools" and posts a pic of a reciprocating saw...

It's there, you'll use it...: )

Tire size will reduce the ratio as well the F-150 with 3.73 runs a 31.5" tire not a 33" or 35"

Yeah, I didn't realize 3.73 was an option. It would be fine for a 30-32 inch tire, but if going 35" later, they should just consider Squatch. You get the bigger/cast front diff too.

It is not that I have seen, just using the F-150 example that @Haystack had used to get tires size and ratios in the same context..

if I’m reading the chart correctly, the 4.46 with aftermarket 35s should be around the “everyday driving” range.
