The door is longer on the 2 door, but the headroom, shoulder room and legroom is identical. The B-Pillar is shifted back on the 2 door like 8" or something. Nothing substantially different enough for the dramatics unless this dude is 7ft tall or morbidly obese. I remember door size being a...

The dimensions of the front of the cabin are identical. Whatever you perceived is literally in your imagination.

I'm on my way

I hope the answer to this is yes and that @HighVelocity invites us all over to launch shit.

The 2 door is 186lbs lighter. Based on the average fatsss these days, I'd say me being fit and athletic makes up the difference. So, weight is a wash. The auto tranny isn't terrible in sport mode. It's not great in normal mode. It shifts too early and seems to always be hunting for gears. I can...

The 4 door guys (me included) love their 4 doors. The 2 door guys love their 2 doors. Major difference is that the 4 door actually has room for what you want/need to bring with you while the 2 door guys have to struggle with creative solutions and flood the forum with complaints about storage...

That's an interesting way to look at things. I love a manual and prefer it as well, but I'd likely never trade power for a stickshift unless that car was insanely fun to row through the gears with. The Bronco is not that type of vehicle. I'd much rather have the power my Wildtrak has than the...

The 2.3 vs the 2.7 is only about 30hp difference but nearly 100 lb-ft of tq. I don't know why guys love to leave that number out. The difference is quite noticeable. If you're used to jeeps, slow and clunky with an absolutely terrible ride, you'll be thrilled with the way that the Bronco...

You can negotiate the total price. You can also negotiate the money factor, especially if you have good credit. I actually put as little down as possible ln leases. Whem the time comes, I'd also contact a few of the closest dealerships and negotiate with all of them to see who will give you...

A bronco needs 35s or 37s. It looks like a meathead that skips leg day without meaty tires. If you're leasing and don't plan on doing suspension and wheels/tires, just lease the Sasquatch. There are a lot of factors that go into leasing prices. The 2025 lease wouldn't necessarily be better...

What are you going to do with it? I own a '24 Wildtrak and for me, I think it's the absolute best trim. It drives so nicely on the road and tackles easy trails and fire/logging roads with ease. It has the 3.0 goodies and steering box, 35s, the proper gearing, f and r lockers and it's fun to...

Agreed. That BMW engine is a thing of beauty too, both in performance and sound.

Very cool... Good idea and that would be fun as hell to drive. Have you seen this? This guy is my hero. Those are my top contenders right now so I'm keeping my eyes open. I will be daily driving whatever I choose. I am a believer in driving your art and not just letting it sit and collect...

Nice. Very cool. I've never done anything like that but wouldn't be against it. My projects have always been 90s and early 2000s JDM and more recently German cars. Right now I'm torn between an older datsun Z resto mod/LS swap type of project, a newer infiniti q50 build aiming for right...

Right on! I agree. I would love an aftermarket pan for the 2.7. I haven't even researched to see if anything viable exists as it's pretty low on my priority mod list for the Bronco and in a year or so I'm starting a new build project and will be diverting my time and money to that anyway.

Thanks for the clarification. It sounds like you definitely felt something unusual when you tried the UPR plug. I did some more digging on this and this is what I found: Ford made a running change to the plastic oil pans and drain plug designs for late-build 2025 and newer 3.0L Bronco Raptor...

Help me clarify a bit... in the other thread you stated that you bought the plug and installed it. It was a snug fit but went in place. Then you found it difficult to remove, so you removed it and returned it and assumed it didn't fit? But did it ever leak or cause an issue? Did you ever even...

Interesting. I have a 2024 so I shouldn't have a problem at all anyway. The fit was perfect. What did they change about the oil pans in 2025? I don't think they changed the pans, just the plugs so there shouldn't be a reason they dont fit. Maybe @Ducati1098 can chime in?

I'm not sure that is true. The UPR plugs still show they fit up to 2026 2.7s. They also make 5 different styles I think. I have a 2024 Wildtrak so I'm good to go.

I did the 1st few changes at my mechanic just bc I was busy and lazy he uses Amsoil as his "house" oil. I did my own change yesterday(Amsoil signature series) for the 1st time and finally installed the UPR plug (#3025-4). It's very well made and should make life a ton easier down the road.
