You will definitely get your Bronco sooner if you order with the 2.3L. But that shouldnāt be what determines your decision.
As someone whoās driven both, the 2.3L has more than enough power. It makes the 2.7L look like overkill. But if you want that extra power, Iād switch to the 2.7L because...
Iāve been inside a manual, but havenāt driven one yet. Iām not big into MT personally, but those who are will love it. The crawl gear especially is super impressive.
I used to think Day 5 was an early reservation, until I found out that over 40% of reservations were made within the first 2 days.
And I agree with you completely. I love the soft-top for its convenience. I wonāt miss the rear-wiper at all. But the only concern I have, is security. Thankfully...
Whenās your reservation? If itās before September 2020, I think switching to a soft top will definitely get you scheduled, especially with your build.
The torque rating of the 10R60 transmission is why I chose the 2.3L. Actually driving it just confirmed that choice. Getting built in a month is just a bonus š¤·š»āāļø
This is great news for those of us who ordered Soft-Tops, and already have VINs. This means thereās a Ford approved āprep kitā that we can use to later install a hard top. I never planned on using the rear-wiper anyway, but this is just a bonus!
I switched to the build in my signature, and was scheduled the next day. So that should give you an idea of how much quicker youāll get one without constraints š
7/19 Build Week
Build is in my signature below.
I had a chance to drive a 2.3 with Sasquatch, and I think youāll all be pleasantly surprised with the power and torque. No need for the 2.7 at all, unless you plan on towing a lot.
