Or buy a v8 that was designed for a truck
The 5.0 was not designed for a truck the 5.4 was, the godzilla is, the 2.7tt was. The 4.6 was designed for cars and the 5.0 is an evolution of that. It was only deemed acceptable in trucks never a top performer, Same is true of the real 5.0 SBF and the 5.8. The 5.0 always struggle to make the torque. I think the only reason these absolutely huge F150s these days even use cammer 5.0s is because they sell so many to soccer moms and other people who dont use use them for much hauling.

Also if the 2.7 is just an acceptable motor in the f150 then it will be a mean motor in the smaller lighter bronco. Weight load is a direct factor in heat build up and the bronco has less of it.

right now is I think the first time there hasn't been a truck motor with a shorter stroked motor off the same architecture for cars in like 50+ years.

Isn’t the 6.2 a truck only engine?

Ohh yeah the 6.2, the 5.0 is the it'll get you buy motor and the 6.2 is the real truck one. the 2.7 and the 3.5 are the next generation of that formula. Which puts the 2.7 in perfect for the smaller bronco/ranger lineup. It will literally be like getting the old 5.0 in a 80s ranger.

2.7 would blow the doors off a 5.0 ranger. Even a 5.0 SN95 mustang had a 0-60 in about 6.7 seconds or so... which is almost the exact same as the 2019 ranger with no tune or anything. 2.7 Bronco would be sub 6.0 for sure and probably sub 5.5.

I don’t thi
good to know. When I purchased my Silverado it was 2014. Not sure if they were as good back then as they are today, but I remember being concerned about heat when deciding between the F150 and the Rado.
Our launch ramp hits 110+ at times in Norcal.
