What I think is funny is that the RTR bronco dont get the 3.0...This was a dumb Ford decision.

Dudes, this is not a Coyote/5.0/V8 thread. Take it outside!It's ALL about proper placement. There IS just enough room to fit a 5.0 v8 with NO modifications to the frame, or crossmembers, or firewall...mostly a custom oil pan is needed to clear the FDU and electric swaybar. I purposely positioned my 5.2 Raptor engine about 2" higher up and back 3" for additional transfer case ground clearance... and to make additional room for the Ultimate-60-FDU... the end goal is a flat skid plate attached directly to the frame with NOTHING below the frame rails. Exhaust, crossmember, transfer case and fuel tank ALL need moved or modified to accomplish this.
360-370 hp???I was at the event and I can tell you this Bronco is a step up from everything else we have currently. The 3.0L which I told viewers over a year ago was coming will NOT be the same horse power as Raptor. I expect 360-370hps. I was told a year ago the 2.7L is going away and the 3.0L will take its pace in the line up but I wouldnt expect this till 28.
So I guess all of that talk back in 2021 was speculation before application? Figures.It's ALL about proper placement.

Yup. The Ford website has the HP listed at 418, same as the birthing hipped station wagon.Im gonna say this prediction is WRONG.
Anyone that has used one, knows that they aren't all that practical for the interior storage capacity compared to what is available nowadays. If someone wanted to transport some cooked food and kept hot, that might be a cheap alternative. But they aren't going to maintain the safe temperatures for hours at a time. Also could be used as a cooler of sorts, but again the capacity isn't that great. Their weight is also a hindrance.Anyone else notice the mermite container? I guess that would be a cool camping hack for a weekend....

Check out the metal molle door baskets that are out there. I have them up front, and they hold a large Camelback bottle and other gear well. Can use them with or without the nets. My nets are just dividers and tensioners now.yup, mine are all black.
I may look into some alternatives since I’m worried the net will just break again.
Perhaps it will be optional just like it is on the Badlands?This photo shows a full array of HERO switches, including sway-bar disco. I don't see it mentioned in equipment, do we suppose it has it?
