Would you feel bad if a bigger Bronco model was added later?

An updated version of my 95 would be sick, stuff that 7.3 gasser in it and I'd sell my left nut for it. PS please don't ask me about my right one.

You already gave it away.

You have a 7.3 gasser crate engine ordered and you sold your right nut to get it.

Not even a little bit.

I have no interest in a V8 - by all accounts like the 2.7 will be plenty powerful, and I don't buy vehicles based on the sound they make.

I'll admit that I'm a little curious what other refinements will be available with the Raptor, but given how modular it sounds like the Bronco will be, I'm confident that it will be possible to make lots of improvements down the road.

But the V8 is also lighter than the 2.7L which is going into the actual production 1st gen size Bronco.

So a full-size Bronco getting the lighter V8 shouldn’t be anymore nose heavy than the actual production Bronco.

Good point, I did not know that. I’m guessing you meant the current v8 would be lighter than the 2.7L v6’s going into the 6th gen Bronco (2021) and not first gen (1966) v8?

Yes as in the current Coyote.

How about a 5.0L hybrid? That might be a trip!

Would you feel bad if Ford released a larger bronco to replace the Edge with a V8 in it, Not warthog? After you already purchased your Bronco?

Nope

Yes as in the current Coyote.

Interesting.

Sticking with the 2.3L & manual either way.

Bronco is already close in size to Edge, so I'm guessing you meant to compare it to a larger "Explorer".

The answer is no for me. I have a Flex and was looking to get something smaller because I just don't need that space on a regular basis.

No. My wife and I want the 2-door primarily because we'll be parking it on the street, and shorter is better here in the city where finding a spot is super competitive.

We prefer the look of the 2-door over the 4-door, and we want to buy a Base model which is $4700 less expensive. We also like that it includes the hard top, over the 4-door's default soft top. Also planning on going with the manual, so we're hoping to build the absolute lowest cost Bronco possible.

For every extra foot of length, the chances of finding a parking spot is probably reduced by about 20% here, so a 4-door Bronco would be about 30% more difficult to park. Our other car is also short (a Mk7 GTI), and it's the perfect balance between ample size for the two of us plus the dog. The 2-door Bronco should have roughly the same cubic ft inside, perhaps a little less sq ft behind the front seats but a lot more height, which our greyhound will appreciate.

I like my Expeditions for hauling more people and gear and they are more than capable off-road and I can still get a V8 in the older ones. I'd like to see a 'full-size' Bronco if it had a V8 in it though. It's the only thing I'll really miss in the new Bronco is the lack of a V8. I know it seems like so many don't care but it just completes the experience for me and many others. It's like a Mustang with a V6. Sure fast and all with great mileage but not for me. Gotta have that V8 (when it's offered).

Why do some of you people want what is essentially a 4 door with 2 of the doors welded shut?

Not everyone wants to haul people, some folks want to load up with hunting/fishing/camping gear, dogs, tools, even stuff like lumber. I think a two door the length of a 4 door with no rear seats and a drop tailgate would be ideal.

Take the back seats out of a 4 door and still have the extra doors for easy access to stuff in the back?

That would work but if it was available as a long 2-door I would still opt for the 2-door. I would prefer the wider doors and longer side windows on the back shell, I'm guessing they would be similar in size to those on an old IH Scout II. Regardless, it's not something Ford is going to build. I'm sure the potential market is me and perhaps a few dozen other people.

I think one very important thing to understand, manufactures always to need to innovating there product. With either major or minor improvements to make it appealing to the customers (us).

So that being said, im very happy with the current options. Would LOVE the 3.5 EcoBoost - but such is life.

Probably thinking of a coyote 5.0 swap already... but will see.
