Mustang got traded in this sunday, I originally went to see about how much my dream pick up was gonna wind up costing me and compare trim levels in person. Wound up talking about the new bronco, test drove a new heritage edition and was about to leave when the salesman commented that they had a used one that was a bit of a good deal.
Priced at 40k, got a piece of paper from jd power that says its worth 44, not sure why.

It is a 22 Badlands (most off road features of any of em sans raptor), yes with the big tires "sasquatch package" 2 door in area 51. 2.7L with 10 speed auto

couple the price with the mustang being within 1k of its loan to value, somehow actually built equity on a truck I've wanted to have for a long time, and yes, I loved my mustang, but I didn't really get to enjoy it, and I felt horrible using it as a dd, crawling in it after a long day covered in dirt and grease, I'll buy another when I'm in a life position that can tolerate what that should have been, a well kept weekend car instead of me tearing it up. Bronco has marine grade vinyl seats and rubber floors :) and so far, I really like this little truck, it turns unbelievably well, I'm not quite sure how they pulled it off, ecoboost engine has lots of zoom zoom, oddly more than a vg33.
and one more nice bonus, between lower interest rate on loan, positive equity and insurance because its not the worlds most crashed car, it runs me $300 less a month.

So far it’s been super comfy(heated seats is nice, guess I’m getting old), cheaper fuel (runs bueno on e15) and a sick lower payment and insurance. I keep looking at mods but it really doesn’t need anything performance wise, I’m thinking air compressor some lights and a winch, oh and a trailer hitch

Nice lil truck man. Score!

Whaat?!
Yup, not only is it what they had it’s what I wanted, even if I’m a 3 pedal fan.

1st is id rather have the 2.7 than the 2.3, other than a parts supplier issue early in the broncos life the 2.7 is proven to be a pretty durable little engine.

2nd is the 7 speed is made by getrag, same people that build the mt82 that was in the mustang, known for failure and having very shiatty ratios, one reason when/if I get another stang I’ll opt for one with a tremec

So. In summary, 2.7>2.3 and not sure I trust the trans supplier, 2.7 mated to that 10 speed hauls ass and gets around 20 mpg either freeway or in town, on eco 88
