Anyone looking for a Bronco?

Wow. Wrong Again.

310 hp is a 15% increase over 270 hp.
400 ft-lbs is a 29% increase over 310 ft-lbs.

It would have been better if they had dropped the 3 liter or 3.5 liter twin turbo motors in it. Given a choice of the 2.7 v6 or the 2.3 4 cylinder. I am taking the 4 cylinder regardless of your 15 percent more HP and 29 percent more torque.

I'd get the 2.7 Those things are pretty dang quick with a tune.

The 2.7 is garbage like the other guys posts. The 3 liter with 400 HP would have been lots better. The F150 with the 2.7s are also weak sauce.

Bull **** on the 2.7 being garbage but yes the 3.0 would be better.

I drove a 2.7 liter F150 once, and told myself I would never ever mess with that motor. The graphite composite block is about the only positive I see. The two fuel injectors are a mess, and it appears that motor would be better suited for diesel use since it is built like one. The Raptor Bronco will have a 3 or 3.5 liter twin turbo.

If you visit the F150 forums the 2.7 is probably the most trouble free engine in the F150 line up.

Makes sense since it has the smallest take rate out of any of the F150 engine offerings.

Wrong again.

From the Ford web site:
- Bronco 2.3L: 270 hp, 310 ft-lbs
- Bronco 2.7L: 310 hp, 400 ft-lbs

And the Ford web site says that EPA fuel economy figures are not yet available.

Those are actually the specs when using regular gas. On premium:

2.3: 300hp, 315 ft-lbs
2.7: 330hp, 325 ft-lbs

The 2.7 actually has the largest take rate of all the F150 engines at 35%.

Ford ups capability, convenience on F-150

The freshened F-150 pickup enters a market in which the competition is expected to significantly increase, with redesigned pickups from top rivals.
