Iām sure it will be like a rocket compared to my 170 ci straight 6, Iāve just been seeing more issues with the manual trans lately. Iāve heard good things from Ranger owners.
I have 33ās on my 72āBF GF, yes they hold rocks but have never chiped paint on the side of the body. Ford needs to add mud flaps from the factory, infact it should be require If selling a vehicle with 33ās or 35ās all terrain tires. My wifeās TR pro came with them.
Just got my build date for 10/24, 2dr badlands 2.3 manual, Oxford white. 50 years between 72. I love driving my 72 inline 6 and three on the tree. Drives great, just needs air here in central texas. Canāt wait for my 22ā but would never sell the 72ā.
I am driving a 06 Tacoma that doesnāt get any better mpg then my 04 f150 maybe 15 mpg and my wifeās 2019 tundra is lucky to get 13 mpg. If I can get 18 or so in a bronco that would be great. Oh and my 72ā bronco 170 straight 6 gets about 9 mpg.
