ahh, social media speculation. my favorite. because from the tow we can establish needs new engine. easy diag.

even if it did this happens with everything, sometimes there is an issue with new things.

last thing I'll worry about is some mass produced car having hickups, happens all the time. But go ahead and panic if that's your thing, LOL. Really, nobody knows the story, some rando pic and rando comment on the internet is just that, random. And boring.

If it was a two door it wouldn’t have broken down.

Okay. I’m also an order holder. I’m just observing those who have taken delivery of their rigs and how they run… there’s been multiple occurrences of engine failures on this site alone. Yes the info isn’t confirmed from the screenshot, but I’m hoping it’s not the continuation of the 2.7 theme. I don’t think it’s that easy to shrug off valves dropping like this.

But it IS a 2 door!

Anyway. I’ve reached out to the dude who originally posted the image to get the details.

If it really is the engine, no worries, everyone said the Ecoboost engines are used in many Ford products so we Bronco buyers sould have no concerns or worries. /s

(Some of us understand every vehicle is a new integration, a new combination of parts and software, that will take a year or two to work through its teething problems).

I’ve got the 2.7l in my 17 F150. Solid engine. I think there have been more F150’s built with this engine then any other as its first engine upgrade over non turbo V6. Whatever, there have been 100’s of thousands made. I’m not worried. For my 22 Bronco I’m torn between what I know and what I love - Manual.

There is nothing new about either engine.

not the engine, just production in general. sometimes qc or builds fail during the process.

Engine failure is not a “teething” problem in my opinion man.
