Looks like they carried it over from the discontinued 2.7L.

I remember around the time of the driverless vehicle hype designers were toying with the idea of interiors being like living rooms.

AN again.. incorrect.

The article it self. I have to be vague.

It was pointed out over on the Ranger6G forum that the 3.0 Ecoboost up until now has been direct injection only, but the 2027 F-150 specifications indicates that the 3.0 will have dual injection. Assuming the webpage is correct (not a typo), then the 3.0 Ecoboost has been upgraded. Presumably that would mean the 3.0 would also have dual injection for the Ranger and Bronco.   https://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/

Yes, Farley did say that Bronco will have a hybrid option, but he didn't say when as far as I know. This article claims that Automotive News has reported the Bronco hybrid is coming in 2027.   https://fordauthority.com/2026/08/ford-bronco-hybrid-arrives-in-2027-amid-automakers-electrified-pivot/

JP, thanks for your thoughts. Always appreciated.

T couldn’t work out if you we’re being sarcastic here as the  Bronco is BOF while Bronco Sport is C2 unitary body like Escape   No, it’s now coined Bronco Basecamp, designed by JMC for Ford and definitely unitary construction that’s a little bit like Mustang Mach E, unitary body with Center battery and frame with front and rear subframes. Scout as a curiosity for those who can afford? Guys, trying not to be facetious to VW but the Scout project is all about Ford refusing VW permission to sell the T6 based Amorok in North America, an early misconception VW execs had when they signed up to the original T6 Amorok supply deal. VW will do their spin on a Scout but it will have VW electrical and switchgear in it, VW engines and drives……good luck with all of that   (VW started this project before all the recent financial troubles in its European home market)

I like the PHEV Ranger but it struggles against good Chinese based rivals that use electrified front and rear axles producing more odd engine torque and horsepower.   Ranger PHEV is aimed at being an alternative to the diesel version, especially for buyers who do more short runs where the diesel can’t do regen cycles - that is now a big issue with vehicles not getting long enough run times at highway speed. just thinking, For North America, using the 2.3 EB hybrid setup and smaller battery from Explorer  might be a more economical option to give buyers as an easy rollout that sits within Existing Ranger PHEV engineering modules…

Where’s the throw up emoji when you need it for those greenhouses.   he was trying to say that somehow that was the Mercury Cougar lol
