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

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.
Dudes, this is not a Coyote/5.0/V8 thread. Take it outside! 😂

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.
360-370 hp??? 🤣😁😂 Why, so Braptors can stay superior???🫡 The other versions of the 3.0 i. RANGER raptor and explorer ST have 405hp, NOT a measly 360-370hp...why would they go backwards this much? Makes NOooo sense to me. 🤔. Im gonna say this prediction is WRONG.

So I guess all of that talk back in 2021 was speculation before application? Figures.

If that’s the case, yeah, I wanna see V8s. Gas prices be damned!

Makes my '24 wildtrak I picked up for $57k new seem like a steal.

Anyone else notice the mermite container? I guess that would be a cool camping hack for a weekend....

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.

Actually surprised that the Filson didn’t have unique headlights. I’m bummed that at this point Ford hasn’t offered dynamic bending projector, or even the matrix headlights as an option. Granted those options seem to be dwindling in many of their vehicles, even at the top trims but the Bronco could use a little boost there in my opinion. Must be saving it for the refresh

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?

yup, mine are all black.

I may look into some alternatives since I’m worried the net will just break again.
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.

Perhaps it will be optional just like it is on the Badlands?

Received my Filson/Bronco merchandise, today. Really fast shipping. Sharing a few photos for those who are unsure of the lighting on the stock photos on the website.
