No way in hell I'd get one having a child, but if didn't have a son it would be the one I'd get. There will be too many good products to choose from when i decide it's time for the Fusion to be replaced. I'd like the idea of one with a manual and V6 mid level optioned. No Baja grade tires but still off road capable. I wonder if I could get something like that for around 35-40? Time will tell. You do realise that the 2-door has rear seats as well.....

However, I have a special needs 5 year old that already can have a tough time getting into my Fusion. No need to make his life anymore difficult by making him contort to get in. Actually, if he didn't have special needs I would get the four door to make it easier anyway. I think the take rate on the two door will be low (10% or less) but totally understand why it's necessary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know many times in the past with other vehicles the larger engine option is auto only. I guess we'll know soon. I'd venture to guess that Bronco might be an exception to that pattern, at least early on (before they start decontenting as they do lol). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are deffinelty not alone! According to this article it appears the manual tranny should easily handle the torque of any engine that will fit in the new Bronco: https://carbuzz.com/news/confirmed-ford-bronco-is-getting-a-manual Edited June 22, 2020 by CoolScoop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would be great, but I don’t want to give up my Raptor. There can only be so many toys in the garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I don't need a V8 (though I have been spoiled by the glorious sound of my Mustang's V8), but I'll certainly be getting the 2.7 or whatever the upgrade is.

If you're fine with Ford's baby engines, that's cool, but you have to admit even a coyote powered Bronco would be a hoot! I'm going to keep the dream alive in the hopes that Ford one day figures out how to fit a V8 into the Bronco... if they can do it for the rumored raptor ranger, I think that's worth a little hope. Or maybe the Bronco brand will be a huge success and we get an F-150 Based "Super" Bronco which does fit bigger engines. I wouldn't mind that option either!

Trader 10 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I doubt that there would be many potential customers that would buy something else if the 2.3 was the only engine available. The 2.3 Bronco will be faster than any previous generation. Fuel economy will be light years better also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ram TRX is supposed to be getting another motor as well that is 500+ hp, so Ford will need to respond to that in some way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
