What the heck, Ford?!

[Scott2373]

So, I haven't visited this site in quite a while, so I'm sure that I'm late to the party, but...I'm still waffling about what to buy next, especially since the new 4Runner dropped. I decided to pop on over to the Ford website and build an Outer Banks...much to my shock and awe, the 2.7L is no longer availalbe! First it was the keypad, which is something I literally use ever day and now the best and most reliable freaking engine in Ford's stable is no longer available?! Wow. Talk about pushing away your customers. I'm no longer considering a Bronco.

You can still get a 2.7, just not in that trim

As someone that was DEAD SET on the 2.7, I carried your sentiment....


Then I drove the 2.3. You'll be surprised with the pep it has. Our 23 badlands 4 door is 2.3 equipped, and I feel it does very well.

The keypad is now a dealer added option. (In my opinion it's obsolete with ford pass.)

FWIW the OBX is the only one that dropped the 2.7. Step up to the badlands and get the 2.7 if you're dead set on it.

You’re very uninformed. 2.3 is as reliable, arguably more reliable than the 2.7. And you can get the keypad.

The 4Runner won’t actually start arriving until next year as Toyota delayed it. When are you looking to buy?

I wouldn’t call the 2.7 the most reliable engine in Ford’s lineup

This is why you don't pull your thumb out until you are completely over the toilet.

Ford has become one upon itself. Go with the new Land Cruiser and you won't look back.

Try keeping your phone secure and/or working when you go surfing, to the beach, around water, or on a multi-day hike that drains your phone batteries. For around $100 the keypad is one helluva deal, particularly if you locate it on the inside of the gas tank door.

OP, you are complaining about Ford dropping the 2.7 in the trim you are looking at, but are considering the new 4Runner? Have you checked to see how many cylinders that new 4Runner engine has? You will be disappointed with Toyota as well! Unless looking at the hybrid the standard 2.4 gets you 278hp/317lbft. Not any different than the Bronco 2.3 and both weigh about the same depending on options.

 

[Spooled]

dude is mad that the Outer Banks can no longer be ordered with the V6
Wants the new 4Runner that is I4 only

lol

BTW, the keypad is a $100 accessory now. Readily available.
