That would be my bet also. The Ranger PHEV sales are poor in ROW and high cost is the reason. That larger battery pack has to be the reason for the high cost. I think we will see a Bronco Powerboost and a Ranger Powerboost in North America. Wish Ford would hurry up and reveal it (impatiently waiting).

ANTAUS Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Has there been any mention of what this sort of "powered" vehicles, be refered as? Meaning, remember back then with the turbos, you had "Twin Tornados" then we arrived at "EcoBoost", of course "PowerBoost", and we have "PowerStroke" as well... When you have this PHEV, EREV, OPP and all that, any cute names that they will use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll throw things at a wall for EREV....... PowerBoost+ PowerCharge ChargeBoost EcoCharge EVoBoost lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzcat Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 5.0 V8 Bronco would be badass. Averaging 10 or 11 MPG would be less fun for your wallet. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I went with the 3.5TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, our Bronco sounds pretty damn good with the 2.7L. Now, it's not Mustang-sexy sounding, but still good. Sounds much better than the Mach-E! 😄 (except on longer trips where I love the silence) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it but even my 2.5 turbo sounds great to me with active exhaust open. And nothing sounds better to me than a Porsche flat six at 9000 rpm. Maybe a flat plane crank Ferrari v8 inches behind your head...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
