It works great in our Ranger, so I imagine it would only be better in the Bronco with the better gearing. I imagine the auto probably costs $1k as an option, so that might make a difference to the bottom line.
I didn't elaborate on my statement, sorry. I am trying to configure the Bronco to be under $50k when I order it from FORD. I know the complete build will cost more.
My goal is to leave the Bronco as stock as possible. So getting the Mid/Hi package, Sasquatch, & the 2.7 would be awesome. It is...
My main goal in building the Bronco is to stay under $50k from FORD. I cant wait until we can confirm all of these prices, so I can se which parts fit together.
There are so many possible combinations, I just don't know which will be most important to me. I guess it will be easier once a price...
It will be a semi-DD, but since I live in Johnson Valley, it will see dirt everyday. I plan to build it to trailrun, and be able to survive some abuse.
I have been using this a lot lately. It is fun to keep track of your trails, and trips. Great for sharing with friends too. Downside is that you have to pay to get all of the features.

When we built it for SEMA 2018, it was under a major time crunch, and didn't have time to deal with it. Then we started using it, and never really worried about it.
Once the Broncos come out, we will probably end up selling it anyway.
We are averaging about 15 MPG on the Ranger. We frequently drive from our shop in San Dimas out to Johnson Valley (KOH area), about 100 miles of freeway and highway roads. We will get somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 miles per tank depending on what we are doing of course.
Our Ranger is running 35's and has no problems. More power than a Jeep for sure. We are leaning toward the 2.7 on the Bronco, but would go 2.3 if the price is too much.
My family & I are long time Bronco fans. Excited to have found this forum. Now we get to share our excitement with other Bronco lovers.
We live out in Johnson Valley very near the KOH area. It is awesome to see all of the Bronco development that took place out here.
Hope to run into you guys...
New here to the forum. Got my reservation in on the Badlands. It just seems like the best package for me. I cant wait until we can start configuring the Bronco to see how it comes together.
