The gearing does not make the difference negligible considering the sasquatch cars in 4th before it hits 60. It is totally asinine to look at it this way. Give me real apples to apples data, until then this chart is pointless for comparing the 2 engines.

Has the 10R60 been unreliable in the explorer?

Car and Driver's 2.3 Bronco has the manual... so no sasquatch package. This indicates to me the 2.7 would be quite a bit quicker with the same wheel/tire package.

A catch can does not solve the problem, at least completely, for buildup in the intake on DI engines. VW and BMW boys still have issues. Does it help? Sure, but it depends on turbo health, engine health, air filters used, etc. DI engine intake buildup is not even remotely the same as a Ford...

The forums have spoken and the 2.3 is the chosen one for reliability. Don't you dare mention the 2.3 head gasket issues in the Focus RS.

That's an oranges to pears comparison. That straight six you are talking about is the N54, which is a god among engines in general and like you said, that v8 was trash. The 2.7 has proven reliable in the f150 and there's no reason to think it will be any different in the bronco. It's not like...

The only concern for longevity from either would be turbo replacements (if its even an issue) and the 2.3 WILL have carbon buildup in the intake system like every other direct injection engine ever made that didn't get port injection as well.

I use Gaia as well on both my iphone with carplay and a dedicated Sonim XP8 that acts like a handheld rugged GPS unit. Have nothing but good things to say, especially when you think of all the features you get for the price. With the XP8 I have never noticed any gps reception issues compared...

For some reason when I read the OP I thought you were asking why it was limited to the Badlands trim, not for a custom install. Ford likely has it implemented with feedback and engage confirmation sensors but for the demos they had it sitting on a table with 2 wire connections going to it so who...

It's the reason the Badlands trim exists. They have to differentiate the 37 trim options somehow. I'm pretty sure the Rubicon is the same way.

They are not the same. Nothing about them except the engine (which are tuned differently) is the same.

The OE turbos should have enough excess capacity in them to handle 5kft without getting so far out of their efficiency curve that the IAT's start to skyrocket.

Turbo's eliminate most power loss at higher altitudes. You may notice more turbo lag because they need to work harder/spin faster to make the boost but you don't see the massive loss you would on an NA engine.

My guess is its more related to axles and cv's in the bronco than it is the trans itself. With 4.70 diffs you are talking about almost 10k ft-lbs applied to the axles in 1st gear. That's not even low range.

Sure, it doesn't add up if you intentionally ignore all of the factors that matter. 35in tires 315 wide tires 4.70 diffs 4.71 first gear Aero of a brick.....

I highly doubt the transmission has anything to do with any torque limiting happening.

I have not seen any performance metrics for really any other build combinations for the bronco so I am not gonna comment on it. I will suggest that the trim, diffs, tires, and sasquatch option will heavily impact acceleration performance in the bronco.

A vehicles 0-60 time is made up of every little smallest detail of the vehicle. Diff gearing matters, obviously but it matters equally as much as the trans gearing along with rotating mass that you have to accelerate. Anything with a GM th350, 4l80 or any number of old school auto's will have a...

Did the CAR jutter or just the pedal?

Did you feel it in the pedal? Was it when the pedal was in that it shuddered or was it when you were off the clutch? Look at the manual (or maybe someone else is more familiar with fords than I am) but you should be able to "recalibrate" the windows. It should be in the manual.
