So, I haven't visited this site in quite a while, so I'm sure that I'm late to the party, but...I'm still waffling about what to buy next, especially since the new 4Runner dropped. I decided to pop on over to the Ford website and build an Outer Banks...much to my shock and awe, the 2.7L is no longer availalbe! First it was the keypad, which is something I literally use ever day and now the best and most reliable freaking engine in Ford's stable is no longer available?! Wow. Talk about pushing away your customers. I'm no longer considering a Bronco.

This is wrong on so many levels lol. First off, both are still available. Second, the 2.3 would certainly be considered the more reliable option between the two Ford engines. Third, if reliability is a concern then buying the new 4Runner would deff not be wise in year 1 considering what the Tundra and now new Taco are going through with engine and transmission issues.

Howling at the moon in hopes that the Ford bot will hear him and tell Ford to bring back the OuterBanks with the 2.7.

Threatening to buy a Toyota is less meaningful than ADV's apology to its customer base.

If your going to pick up your marbles and go home, you really didn't want to play to begin with.

Well damn, if that's all it takes, let's give this a try.

Hey @Ford Motor Company, what the heck? Give me a Bronco with a V8 in it or I'm going to go buy a Chevy Volt!! They still make those right?

As someone that was DEAD SET on the 2.7, I carried your sentiment....


Then I drove the 2.3. You'll be surprised with the pep it has. Our 23 badlands 4 door is 2.3 equipped, and I feel it does very well.

The keypad is now a dealer added option. (In my opinion it's obsolete with ford pass.)

FWIW the OBX is the only one that dropped the 2.7. Step up to the badlands and get the 2.7 if you're dead set on it.

I wouldn't rely on Fordpass. If your phone battery dies while you're out on a long hike or something, you would be stuck.

This is why you don't pull your thumb out until you are completely over the toilet.

I haven't heard that quote in a long time, nearly shot coffee out my nose. Thanks for the morning laugh.

Huh???

Here's one for you ... I'm pissed because I haven't looked at a Ford since 1985 and they no longer offer the Eddie Bauer edition or even a V8 ... I'll never own another Ford again!!!

You do know that every 6G Bronco is pretty much exactly the same right? since the OBX doesn't offer the 2.7 then get any other trim that does, pretty simple or buy a used one that you should have gotten back when it was available!
