When Ford announced that the upcoming Bronco will ride on the same platform underpinning the Ford Ranger, it confirmed that both models will share the same mechanical features and a lot of people assumed this also meant the Bronco will get the same engine that powers the Ranger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ford Ranger is currently equipped with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged inline-four engine with 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, paired to a 10-speed automatic transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, as it turns out, it’s not going to be the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources involved with the upcoming Bronco are claiming the more powerful 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 used in the F-150, Edge ST, and Lincoln Nautilus will be used to power the SUV. The engine makes 325 horsepower and 400 lb-ft. of torque and will be mated to the same transmission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it’s still not confirmed if the V6 is going to be the only engine option for the Bronco. There is also a possibility for the inline-four to be offered for the base trims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if the Bronco does end up getting the V6, this will give the SUV more power than its closest rival, the Jeep Wrangler, which is powered by a 3.6-liter V6 that makes 285 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrival of the reborn Ford Bronco is still a little over a month away with the official reveal set to happen at the 2020 New York Auto Show in the first week of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before that, a special debut is also in the works for the model where planned live streaming is expected to take place sometime next month.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
