This is BRONO6G so how DARE you try to inject common sense?

Bad news is good for site traffic >> like Facebook

Should probably report this post to an Admin and have OP banned. No room here for common sense.

Mine has already stranded me once and it wouldn't do that to me twice, right?

Right?

99.9 is just 666 upside down.

363 miles and still not blown.

The 2.3L propaganda mill is strong! Remember the debunked theory last year that the 2.7L had more torque than the transmission was rated for?

I'm currently in the danger zone...2,200 miles. I'm past break in. I refuse to baby mine. It's now time to see if she's gonna break.

I am changing to 2.3. I only went 2.7 due to the port injection process. There isn’t a huge difference in HP, although the difference in torque is something to desire. I did some research on the previous 2.7 Ford used in their trucks, and although it might not have been huge numbers, the biggest failure issue was valve collapse. I would rather spend a half hour every 10,000 miles shooting cleaner into the intake to rid carbon build up in a 2.3 then wonder if I was sitting on a 2.7 bomb. I hope everyone of the 2.7 runners get a life time of terrific failure free performance. I will be whipping the 2.3.

The only part of your comment that might be true is that it's an estimate only because it's too early to tell. How many will go in the next few months? We don't know. We do know that forum folks are <10% of total rigs. Someone has a handle on the 2.7/2.3 split and total builds. So it's a math problem other than the unknown of how many are yet to have problems. We can say with some confidence that it will never be 3%. .3% maybe....

My comment is 100% accurate. Nobody here can say any number with confidence. It's safe to say it's very likely less than 5% but we don't really know. Only Ford knows and anything else is speculation. You can't do any math without knowing exactly how many engines have failed vs how many have been manufactured and sold. We will never likely know how many have failed. Most Bronco owners are not on this site and we know is that some engines are failing based on some owners here and others that may post on other forms of social media.

I feel exactly opposite, and one of us has better odds for pushing at the moment. Good luck.

do you know how many 2.3s have failed?

Positivity thread!! lol....

do you know how many 2.3s have failed?

1 confirmed, and there's a recent one that had low oil pressure but I haven't seen the results.

That's not why I prefer the 2.3 though, I like it mainly because it's a compact inline and will be easy to service.

I'm sure most 2.7s will be just fine, the valve failures shouldn't be a deciding factor.

If you're so concerned about a 2.7 blowing up, get a truck with the 2.3. Pretty easy fix

24 / 50,000 = .00048
Relax & enjoy, you're probably not one.
Basically, take the same approach as you should with Covid 19.
You'll be fine.

Damn, so many pessimists out there. Don't buy it, get the 2.3L, buy a Toyota and drive it for 1M miles...

Or, just go get your 5th booster shot and order the 2.7l. You'll be fine and if you're not fine, then obviously Ford will fix it. It's truly a better life over here is optimist-land.

And another one has failed
