Forced to go to automatic in the Bronco to make it apples to apples, the 2.7L stomps the B58 used in the $100K Grenadier. You cite a brief 2.7L EcoBoost valvetrain issue caused by faulty supplier parts, which was rectified well over a year ago. Less than 100 failures. Go buy a Bronco, you'll be just fine.

Go search for a dyno lol. The 2.7 is nothing special and it’s not even remotely close to WHP. Couldn’t hold B58’s jock strap.
