It’s an established f-150 engine. 1st gen came out in 2015, revised to 2nd gen 2018 (added port injection in addition to the direct injection and minor tweaks). Aside from some of the 1st gens having a bad oil pan seal (thankfully mine is not among them) they are well regarded as pretty...

@BroncoChicken got some measurements from the outside. Here’s the thread on that. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/pics-videos-interior-dimensions-can-sleep-inside-accessory-mounts-suspension-sasquatch-stubby-bumper.2798/

Back when we had an insider from Ford’s engineering, (the posts have all since been deleted), the insider confirmed that they will fold to near level. The lower cushions move forward into the foot well of the rear seat, which then allows the backs of the seats to fold to near level, but there...

That’s pretty good for a 2 door. That’s more space than a 2 door civic coupe trunk (which I’ve camped out of with 4 people). The narrowness makes sense because the wheel-wells are absolutely massive, so looks like they gave up some cargo area in order to make the Sasquatch package work, I’m...

The 2.7 isn’t all that bad, it looks like serpentine belts will be the worst routine job, and those will also probably be kinda rough on the 2.3. To it’s benefit, the 2.7 does have the oil filter on the front-top of the engine, while I know you have to pull a wheel on the ranger to do an oil...

Keep in mind, there is a difference between what an OEM considers a good margin of safety, and what the transmission will actually handle. There are also stronger variants of the mti550 that Ford elected not to use for the bronco (because they would be overkill for the 2.3, and there is not...

See my response on that from another thread.

Will the rear quarter windows be removable on all hard tops without removing the top?

I doubt that steering and lane drift are going to be a concern. Ford has a lot of experience with truck IFS, and neither the f-150, nor the ranger are known for steering issues like that.

No, the rear shell of the hardtop is bolted down. Still quick to remove, but it’s pretty secure.

you should be just fine throwing on a set of 32s on 17inch rims, or if you can find a 32 that fits the stock 16 inch rims for that matter. There is no way Ford developed a unique lower suspension for only the base model, I’m fairly certain it has the exact same suspension as every other trim...

Yup, looks like it. So yeah, using the experience from the ranger guys should give a pretty good idea what tire sizes will work. https://www.therangerstation.com/ranger-tech/dana-advantek-axles-ford-ranger/ on finding this page I also need to throw an update on my previous post, will do so...

16 years, the concept came out in 2004

interesting, looks like the sensor in the center of the bumper has been removed. I wonder if that is the active cruise control sensor, and all trims just get the bracket. ? That would explain why we have seen these on every test vehicle.

We do have the overdrive ratios. Engine speed with auto and Sasquatch at 80mph should be about 2400 rpm. as for drag coefficient and cabin noise, that we will have to wait and find out.

The only thing we know for sure is that it is available on all trims. Now I’m guessing it will be bundled with the Sasquatch, since that package includes a locking front dif, which would work much better with the m210.

In my experience with the first gen 2.7, there is some, but it is only noticeable from a dead stop, as long as you have been above idle for a fraction of a second it is gone. It's not really noticeable unless you are trying to launch it like a drag race.

I still maintain that the person at Ford who is in charge of monitoring us really can’t stand the idea of pineapple on pizza, and pushed for a leak every time so they wouldn’t have to keep reading about/seeing pictures of pineapple pizza.

I’m honestly still super excited, but I’m looking at base trim, a lot of the drama doesn’t matter as much when you’re just happy to be looking at a bronco again. Also, it’s really nice to have this place as a break from politics/COVID/the pseudo-apocalypse.

I don’t think that 3.3 is offered with a manual transmission anywhere either? So the only thing that would help would be the torque rating. It would actually have a worse business case than the 2.7, because for most buyers that 3.3 will be seen as a downgrade from the 2.3 that’s already...
