Yah, the preferred engine would be the 2.0 litre ecoboost.
This is the same powertrain lineup as the Escape.
If you scroll far enough, there is an upscale model with the 2.0 so it’s available.
Full size bronco comes with 2.3
and 2.7 turbo as an option.
More powerful than Jeeps engine line up.
Jeep if you pay an extra 10K can get diesel
which gets you to Bronco's 2.7 power range.
Horsepower: 270 to 310 hp
Engine: 2.3 L, 2.7 L
Seating capacity: 4, 5
Transmission: 10-speed automatic, 7-speed manual
and 2.7 turbo as an option.

And the torque in that 2.7 is amazing.
It’s rated at 400 lb-ft in the F150 with 325 hp.
So it must be slightly de-tuned in the Bronco.
Anyway in the F159, it pulls stronger than the V8 from a stand still and at low rpm.
A really good match for this application, and reliable too.

So I was bored and built wifes new Bronco online.
I heard there was price adjustments and some things went up.
Well pleasantly surprised, wildtrak with lux pacakge went down $3000
Hope thats true
maybe its Canadian dollar at $1.27 best its been in years.
Heres a few pics, unless I get change orders from boss.

Ok.
It’s basically a new Escape in interior size, general overall size and powertrain.
1.5 L 3 cylinder ecoboost in this one.
Quite torquy engine but a little rough due to being 3 pots only.
2.0 L four is a lot smoother.
But maybe a little rough fits a vehicle like this which is supposed to be more utilitarian.
Very good headroom, aided by step up in rear roof a la Range Rover.
Looks neat.

1.5 litre 3 pot engine is quite torquy as mentioned above. Pulls good.
I was pleasantly surprised by drive.
I think it is better controlled than Escape.
Not stiffer, but less body roll.
Possibly larger sway bars or something.
I liked it more, I think.
But I just went 1.5 km each way on a flat city street.
Drives well. No worries.
But the thing I noticed more from driver’s seat was the tall square hood in front.
You have to peer over it.
Way different than modern aerodynamic vehicles.
But as soon ad I merged into traffic, it disappeared.
Was not an issue anymore.
