You are clueless.3.6 and 2.0 are base engines. they dominate the base bronco engine. 4xe dominates the 2.7. 392 dominates the braptor. then you have a diesel option for the wrangler as well. Again, jeeps lineup of power trains dominate broncos. Bronco engines look good on paper though. And crazy to think jeep does this with more reliability. It’s quite perplexing.
First, the bronco turbo 2.3 makes more power and torque than the 2.0 or the 3.6.
Second, the 2.7 is a $1800 option. Its not a $10,000 option like the 4.e or a 30,000 option like the 392.
Its less than a painted hard top. The 4xe has lots of problems, as has been pretty well shown here.
If it were a Toyota, I'd recommend it strongly. Great power, insane torque, great fuel economy. But as it is its a version 1.0 effort by a company that's never made a hybrid before. Its poorly supported by both the factory and the dealer network. Its tough to recommend the 4xe despite how well it performs when its working right.
The 2.7 t gives bronco buyers an engine choice that is a very inexpensive upgrade with 50 more hp than the pentastar and 154 ft-lbs more torque.
