The things he sees breaking and defective that normally are not problems.
Its not. Bs. The same engines are in f150. No engine issues.
I don't think I'm following what you're saying. You're saying that engine problems in the Bronco don't exist? What about the posts on the Bronco forum saying their engines failed? Maybe I just couldn't read the sarcasm over the internet.
I know this doesn't represent ALL Bronco owners as they're not all on the forum. But here's 40 2.7 V6 turbos that have blown up so far. #32 has his replacement 2.7 fail.
Exactly. I owned a Ram 1500 for 6 years. It was an excellent vehicle, right up until the point I hit a deer at 67 mph. I would have bought another except I wanted a smaller vehicle. My brother is a farmer and has owned many Ram trucks. They have all worked excellent for him and work them much harder than any of us would even think of.
It's only been 40 (forum members) but still an issue. See the post above for the link to all that have failed so far. There's been a lot of electrical issues and several (maybe more but I don't go on there much) who've had their 4wd crap out.
I really don't know and by reading a little more I found that it seemed to be a bad batch of valves. Looks like it's been corrected with a more robust design and material. I'm guessing there's a different supplier for the Bronco than the F150 seeing they haven't had these problems. ?‍
Thanks, man that is still a lot for such a new vehicle and one forum. Man, hope that is not the v6 the next gen Ranger gets. That or maybe a bad batch of parts Ford received for assembly.
A bad batch if parts could definitetly hit one line and not the other. I highly doubt there is any differences in the 2.7.I really don't know and by reading a little more I found that it seemed to be a bad batch of valves.

From post #1 linked above:
My father has an 02 Ram quad cab farm truck. The interior plastics are derived from saltine crackers, except crackers crack less. 4 tubes, and counting, of Rtv squirted on to hold it all together. Multiple mechanical failures too but it hasn’t been pampered.
No context needed lol. It’s a 60k+ truck and the “break away” mirror has broken away..Permanently.
Impossible to keep up w this weeks ownership.
I have seen the brittle plastics in aged Dodges on line. But after 20 years and who knows how many miles virtually everything falls apart.
