Ford Bronco may be powered by Ranger’s 2.3-litre EcoBoost
The all-new Ford Bronco will be one of eight SUVs in Ford’s North American lineup by 2020 — and one of two off-road SUV offerings. Theres been no shortage of digital and actual ink spilled about the upcoming Ford Bronco.Weve seen spy photos, guesses re: its removable roof system, and rumours regarding available powertrains.Now, we learn a little bit more about that latter part.Speculation about the Broncos available engine comes to us courtesy of Off-Road.com, where it has been reported that the trucklet has appeared as a 2021 model on the parts lookup tool at are you ready for this?

After all, common belief has the new off-road focused SUV being built in the same factory as the Ranger and sharing some key drivetrain components. That they may also share engines is not a surprise at all.Thinking laterally, finding the F-150s 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 on the options list would be a very sweet treat, indeed. Any news about Bronco is worth printing, given the hype and excitement surrounding the model. Other rumours include the appearance of two- and four-door models, the ability to jettison its roof and doors, and the chance of a hybrid model.Tom Petty had it right: waiting is the hardest part. The new Ford Bronco should appear sometime within the next twelve
