What are you curious about? I have the 2.3. There are lots of threads comparing the 2.3 to the 2.7. General consensus is the 2.3 has enough power and probably a little more reliable than the 2.7. Both engines are more powerful than any stock V8 ever offered in a Bronco.
That about covers it. I just find it easier to ask a question to get answers from people who have been driving it in real world situations for a while, rather than some magazine article comparisons. Or using the search options and hoping to find the best thread.
Whoah, waitā¦. Is that really why there is such a lag in throttle response in vehicles these days? Because of some stupid nanny setting āin case driver didnāt mean to step on itā? My Mazda CX5ā¦.all 4 I have owned, have close to a 2 second lag between flooring it and the car moving. It is downright dangerous, I about got t-boned flooring it to get out of the way of an idiot running a light.
I ordered a Badlands with mid package and the manual transmission 4 cyl. 36k miles later, still having fun.
When I ordered mine the V6s were having issues. I test drove a 2.3 auto and was satisified being its not a sports car. I got a black diamond which has 4.46 gears. I leave it in sport and its a blast to drive. Everyone thats rode in it has been impressed with the power. I got to drive a 23 2dr BB with the 2.7 and tbh it didnt feel much different. I didnt get on the highway tho which is where she said it really comes alive.
Very similar story here, worries about 2.6 reliability (they were dropping valves and issues with timing chains) but my experience with the 2.3 ecoboost was our 2015 Mustang which has close to 100k miles. And all you really have to do is look at the hp numbers. 300 (on premium fuel) is pretty damn good especially considering a Mustang GT with a v8 had less hp a decade ago or so.
