Quoted: Flounder? Please explain how having enough orders to have sales out a year from now is letting it flounder. And initial reports are everyone is loving the bronco. EVERYONE is having supply issues. They know there is a problem with a limited number of builds and they are fixing them. What more should ford do? Flounder as in not being able to get them into dealer lots because resources are being wasted on the Sport.  Quoted: Let's not pretend that it's business as usual and the Bronco's problems exist in a vacuum. The industry in general has been on a rough ride, and Ford in particular is struggling with supply issues, labor issues, and all the other nonsense going on these days. The F-150 is their bread and butter product that has single-handedly paid their bills for the last 50 years, and Ford is having all kinds of problems getting those built and delivered. And again... what resource should Ford be diverting from Bronco Sport to Bronco, and how would that help? All the engineering capital and R&D they wasted on the Sport could have gone into ensuring the Bronco was perfect. Not to mention all the resources wasted by suppliers tooling for Sport parts instead of Bronco parts. Quoted: Quoted: Quoted:  "Bronco" My ass it's a Bronco Yeah, sorry to burst your bubble but it literally is a fucking Bronco  no it's a little gay suv that man sized folks won't fit in that is a disgrace to the 80s ones Oh, you're one of "those" that can't tell the difference between the Bronco and the Bronco Sport and/or haven't figured out the Bronco existed before 1977. |

There are millions of 2.7’s out there with no issues at all, this will be corrected but it’s unfortunate that it happened to begin with.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Are there issues with F-150 engines of the same time frame? Depends on several factors - the bad parts may be P/N specific to the Bronco/U725 platform or they might be common with the F-150/P702 platform but only used on U725 designated engines. For example, the turbos provided by Garrett are fundamentally the same turbo but there are four different P/Ns due to engine bay packaging constraints. |
