Hey team, I'm deciding whether I should get a four-cylinder or the V6 could you guys please provide some feedback on what you feel about each model or if there's a big difference between the four-cylinder and the V6… I know the horsepower and torque ratings…but wanted to hear from some owners who have tried both.. I am looking at the Outer Banks, four-door, hardtop Sasquatch with the four-cylinder. It saves a couple grand going with the 4cyl.. and didn't know if there was gonna be that much difference… I mainly will be driving it on the highway but I do wanna take it off Roading as well thank you.

@Laura may have some insight as a Bronco ambassador that has been in and around many 6G Broncos, I imagine she has real first-hand experience with both.

I had an issue when cruising. Replaced the brake booster due to a bad seal and never had another problem again

"In my mind, there is no such thing as a Bronco that carves up corners."
I guess you need better driver mods? If you know ,you know. driving 80-85 MPH on constant switch backs going up and down (paved) mountains and carving them up. Since there are speed limits you can't really carve em up better then that. That's pretty damn impressive for a higher up metal brick. I imagine the 2.7 might handle a little worse with the heavier nose end? As far as "enough" neither are enough but these were the options. LOL.

You know those advisory speed signs? The ones where the speed limit might be 55, but the yellow sign suggests 40 mph or similar? Well, I have a vehicle that can take those corners at at least double those advisory speeds. It corners flat, doesn't wallow or roll over and the tires don't squeal. In other words, it's a sports car. 😁 But the Bronco will never handle corners even as well as many other SUVs. That's not its forte. The amount of brake dive under hard braking is the most in any vehicle I can recall having ever owned. But I'm not trying to make it something that it isn't. I accept those limitations because it excels at what it is intended for. My sports car can't enter or leave a driveway without taking it slowly and at an angle. But I don't fault it for being terrible off-road. 😀

Your follow-up statement underscores my original point: if you tell noochdogg007 that the Bronco carves up corners and I say it's probably one of the worst vehicles at cornering, what is he to believe if he doesn't try it for himself? The same goes for the engine power of the 2.3 or 2.7.

Who acknowledges those yellow advisory signs anyway?! Yes the Shelby handles the twisties like it's on rails but the Bronco handles its own. As you say it's not it's Forte which underscores my point- it's in no way what it is designed for but it handles it admirably without necessitating lower speeds nor hard braking. The Bronco does have quite the nose dive on hard braking even from 15 mph but as long as you brake softly or just accelerate going into the backsides of the curves it gets out of its own way quite nicely. Most importantly it does not feel like it will tip over which is more then I can say for any other suv or crossover I've driven on the slightest of bendies. Ultimately though I would never advise anyone to drive beyond their own confidence of the driving abilities of themselves nor their vehicles. FWIW the Bronco does take those yellow 40s at 80. 30k + miles of coastal driving and zero issue.
