2.7L Engine Bay Pics

[David]

Hey everyone,
I headed out to a dealer preview event in the Detroit Metro area last night and got some pics of the 2.7L engine bay. Enjoy and let us know what jumps out at you about it.

You can get to more Bronco pics in our Bronco Nation Photo Library.

The one thing that jumps out at me, is that thing is going to be a nightmare to work on. Most of the plumbing and wiring running on top will have to be removed to do any kind of work on that motor.
I voted no engine covers it has a really nice engine cover being held up by that little stick to the right.
If they add a cover to the engine itself, on an off road vehicle, think of the mud and dirt that will get on the underside of that. No thank you.
It looks like a rats nest but I like it.

If I can't make it look similar to this then keep the hood closed . I don't want to see it .

I really like the air intake design!

I'm getting the 2.3L but it is not much different I am sure. Check the fluids, wire up some lights or winch is all I will probably need to do under that hood. Anything further, pay the man with the Blue Oval on his chest!

All of the fluid reservoirs are not at the front of the vehicle. Someone will be leaning over my "nice painted fenders" to put wiper fluid or other fluids in.

Anyone know the reason why they are not at the front of the vehicle?

@David are they doing ride alongs at these also?

This was in the email I received today for the event I am going to tomorrow.

I had the same question.

IMHO, there isn't another engine bay out there that looks this messed up. I'm not a fan of covering the entire engine with a cover but it might be an improvement over that.
It used to be a thing of pride when you had a chance to open the hood for someone, not gonna happen now.

Now you can see the thingamabob, the whatchmacallit, the hootermicooter, the flux capacitor and everything else

Yeah, you've got a point. It is nice that it's out in the open cause It seems that the hootermicooter always needs adjusting or tinkered with.

There isn't a ride along included. They ask for your DL so that they can confirm who's getting the FordPass points. They do give everyone a chance to sit in the Bronco.

They call her Medusa

 

[TK1215]

we are all wondering why they can’t get the accessories straight. They are spending all day fighting that engine!

I gave up working on engines back in the '90s. These photos look like the engine in my 2020 Bronco.

Reminds me of a 1975 Gran Torino All hose no engine.Put NA engine in there and lose 500 pounds of hose.

 

[Bschurr]

Not a lot of room in there for under hood goodies like a compressor, 2nd battery and a nice set of Train Horns!

 

[TCopp]

The new Bronco, will so much modularity you can customize everything!*



*This does not include the engine.

Those turbos are under everything. I plan to tinker on this engine ASAP, but with all that nonsense in the way...Guess I'll just work from the bottom. The coyote engine bays are just so much more user friendly.

Could be so if ur off roading n hit something by accident with the front corner u won’t break the washer fluid reservoir. I see it quite often in my line of work.
