2026 2 Door 2.7 not available?

[broncobase1]

Have you driven the new-for-2025 port-direct injection 2.3L?
I've driven both the manual and auto, and it performs great with the best sound (growl/snarl?) that I've heard in years. More power and enhanced MPG.
(I own both 2024 and 2025 2.3L's)

2.3L is a good engine with plenty of power, but the new for 2025 does not have more power (both HP and torque) and it does not get better MPG. That said dual injection is a good thing.

Pretty soon, we’ll be down to 1.2L single-cylinder engines with 4 turbos.

If it makes 300 HP and 330 torque, why not?

The 2 door with the 2.7 is a combination for the enthusiast. It's a limited market and has basically already been satisfied in the first couple of years.

Who knows maybe Ford will bring the 2.7 back to the 2 door in limited release.

The 2 door is part of the Bronco DNA and Ford would have a falling out with its core base if they got rid of it.

Who remembers when Ford was going to replace the Mustang with the Probe?
There was so much outrage from Mustang enthusiasts that Ford just added the Probe as an additional model.

Correct, no 2 doors with a 2.7 for 2026

how dumb is that

I have a 2023 two-door with a 2.7 in Sasquatch and I have a 2025 2 door with a 2.3 and the seven speed. The 2.3 is more than adequate, but it’s a complete slug compared to the 2.7. Also, I have a 2.7 in my F150 and it completely destroys the 5.0 coyote in my previous F150, which my son now owns, so it’s a real shame that 2.7 isn’t available in the two door any longer. Although if the coyote V8 was available in a two door, I would definitely have one so I could have the fantastic exhaust note. I can’t stand the beehive created by a six banger and four-cylinder engine when you put a performance exhaust on them. OK, old man wandering rant for the day is complete.

The answer is simple, the take rate for the 2-door is small so its not worth it for them to offer a lot of options.

BUT...again, is the take rate artificially low because so few dealers put them on the lot, and when they do, it is with no options, or are we really a minority?

Without a 2dr option and a manual transmission, I'm not in a position to have a Bronco. I would have gotten something else. With five vehicles, it isn't like I couldn't have waited to find something that was original owner with all records...

There's a 2024 2 door manual trans badlands at a close by dealer extensively marked down , they won't be stocking that configuration anytime soon , LOL

Where? Because as someone who is willing to go out of State, it didn't pop in any of my searches last year...all I found on 2024 was used vehicles.

Rather disingenuous to discuss trends in the USA by using a non-US vehicle.

Sadly, there were times you Canucks got things we could get here, often in powertrain options. Globalization has killed some of that...

I'm not saying the MY2025 port/direct injection has more power or torque (based on Ford specs).
However, as a truck engineer, my gut says it has more power and my mpg indicator has shown 24, versus a max 22 in my two 2024 2.3L Broncos. And, it sounds better/great.

None of my 2.3L are slugs.

It's a real shame that the 2.7L is only available in the F-150 XL, XLT and STX. It's no longer available in the Lariat, nor any other trim. The 3.5L in the F-150 Tremor is overpowered unless you're towing........the 2.7L would be perfect but it's not offered. I also feel the 2.7L would be a great base engine in the Expedition. Fantastic engine overall, but I am still glad my Broncos have the 2.3L........300 horsepower is abundant power.

This is what happens when the bean counters get too much power.

A 2-door Raptor done right would sell……….big time! There is a market for 2 door Broncos. A niche. Happy with mine and it’s going no where.
