Do you have a problem with more torque, more horsepower, all wrapped in twin turbos?The 2.3L I-4 is a total BEAST ! ! !
- not "base"
The 2.3L is a GREAT engine for Bronco
Personally I would not buy a Bronco w 2.7L
The 2.3 seemed fine to me for just basic daily driving especially if its highway driving. My 2.7 gives me all the torques when I want it though. One thing I will say about 2.3 and a lot of people might not like it but the 2.3/manual combo is trash. I've driven tractors with better shifters.
Uhhh yeah...the (more) aluminum F150 with a real tranny is quicker than any Bronco...so not really a fat pig. Even the Braptor is slower than the F150 Raptor 3.5TT.The F-150 already had the 2.7L. All they did was cut out the weakest link that was trying to motivate that fat pig.

Just look at it from the stupid CAFE standards. (Despite my stock 2.3 getting notably worse MPG than the 2.7. lol)Don’t seem logical to get rid of the cheaper engine on the the lowest trim. Just from a competitive stand point it doesn’t make sense. Don’t over think it.
We have a 2.3 and a 2.7 SAS. I drive the 2.3 more often.Wow an extraordinary amount of people here care about what engine other people opted for. 2.3l is plenty for some people. For me it was never going to compete with my previous sports car but that's not what I bought it for.
The only way that is happening is if you have the manual. Auto has came a long wayJust look at it from the stupid CAFE standards. (Despite my stock 2.3 getting notably worse MPG than the 2.7. lol)
Nope. 10 speed. She won’t break out of 17 mpg.The only way that is happening is if you have the manual. Auto has came a long way
the 2.3 was great before the tune. Now it's basically the same performance as the stock 2.7, costs less than a 2.7 and has three pedals. Kinda no brainerSeems like a lot of the guys that think the 2.3 is more that adequate also felt the need to install a performance tune.
Add a pedal commander and you will be blown away! I thought it was a gimmick but it’s not. My 2.3 manual with the FP tune and Pedal commander is pretty peppy even on 35s.the 2.3 was great before the tune. Now it's basically the same performance as the stock 2.7, costs less than a 2.7 and has three pedals. Kinda no brainer

Looking for more power out of the 2.3 is a no brainer..........not going to argue with that.the 2.3 was great before the tune. Now it's basically the same performance as the stock 2.7, costs less than a 2.7 and has three pedals. Kinda no brainer
lol I guess no one is putting tunes on 2.7'sLooking for more power out of the 2.3 is a no brainer..........not going to argue with that.
