Let’s hope this is true for everyone who ordered the 2.7!

I love direct injection. I do a lot of trips in high-altitude, and the power loss is way worse for a non-direct injection engine. The DI stays strong in the mountains (the Turbo helps). Carbon build up isn’t an issue if you add a catch can. And even if you don’t, just clean it every 100k miles...

I already have a VIN. July 19th Build Date. 🙂 Definitely the other big benefit of the 2.3L.

Same here! They get mentioned a lot. I’m definitely thinking about purchasing an extended warranty.

People just get so defensive over their engine choices!! 😂🤣😭

Agreed! I know at some point after the warranty is up, I’ll probably upgrade the transmission as well.

I agree. The F-150 is just a beast in itself, and has great performance all around. It also has the 10R80 transmission, so it can handle more. If you drive aggressively, there’s no doubt in my mind that the 2.7 performs a lot better than the 2.3, especially with the 10R80. Based on the engine...

I’m making assumptions based on the torque rating of the transmission. It’s pretty simple stuff.

Sometimes on these interstates, you don’t have a choice!

I don’t need a lot of overhead, but anything less than 10% gets a little sketchy... especially when off-roading. Im sure if you don’t tune the 2.7, it won’t be as much of an issue. But the lack of overhead does concern me.

^And this is my exactly why I switched to the 2.3L. Yes, there are other factors at play. But the main issue I was concerned with was torque rating. If anything, I hope you’re right, and the transmission can handle way more than it’s rated. But I was just outlining what made my decision easier.

That’s a possibility too. I guess we’ll just have to see! Hopefully, we’ll all have nice warranties, so this won’t even be an issue.

No matter which tune I get on the 2.3, it’s going to stay under 375lbs torque. That’s the point.

Correct, and that’s why the Ford Ranger gets the 10R80 transmission, not the 10R60 like the Bronco.

First off, nobody is outraged or complaining (besides you). This thread logically explains why I chose the 2.3L over the 2.7L. This is due to the torque rating of the 10R60. Yes, most car people research the transmission before purchasing. You don’t? The transmission is called 10R60 because...

Makes your decision easier, because then you only have one choice of engine (2.3L).

I think that’s probably smart. I’m going to do the same as well. You getting it through your dealership?

This is definitely true, and really good to know!

A Ford tune for the 2.3 won’t even come close to the amount of torque the 2.7 has. If you don’t even understand that, then of course the logic is going to be confusing for you.

You don’t need to be an engineer to understand basic torque ratings 😂🤣😭
