2.0 eco boost or 2.7ecoboost

[5.4MarkVIII]

since ford.ca is showing Bronco pricing running at 7% financing and my guy tells me most likely wont see one till the 2022 model year. I don't thing the new service van is going to be a bronco.

looking at jumping back into an edge as my 2013 serviced me flawlessly to over 250000kms.

looking at 2 right now. both same color and similar options.

one is an ST-line well equipped. awd. comes with the 2.0 ecoboost.

other is an ST. slightly better equipped but gets the 2.7 ecoboost.

I dont really need the extra options that the ST offers over the ST-line but I dont like an under powered suv. My 13 had the 3.5 non turbo which was good for about 35 more hp than the new 2.0 has. i never found it lacking for power but It did get the odd trailer on the back or the boat when headed away and the truck was towing the travel trailer.

I know the 2.7 is a fantastic motor.

is the 2.0 just as good?

has anyone done any towing with the 2.0?

when we traded the truck in I stepped back down to the 5.0 and wish I had of waited to get back into a 3.5eb. 5.0 is a great motor but that extra torque is hugely noticeable when towing. don't want to make the same mistake.

Odd, there’s a Bronco Sport at Fines Ford.

The real bronco not the sport. Lol. The sport right now is extremely poorly optioned for the price IMO. And not a huge fan of the look.

Yeah I’m not a fan of the sport either. Looks wimpy.

I would think if you were happy with the N/A 3.5, then you'll be fine with the 2.0T. I made the mistake of test driving a 2.7L and there was no going back. ST's were expensive at the time, so I ended up with a '18 Sport. ST pricing is much better now, but I took a quick look the other day and was surprised how much cheaper the '18 Sports still are compared to the '19 and '20 STs. Branding works.

[5.4MarkVIII]

Yeah cost is other aspect. Price difference works out to about 8 grand

But that dosnt just get the better motor. Also get the better stereo, heated and cooled seats heated wheel, adaptive Cruze, lane keeping and all that other high tech stuff. Not needed for a service vehicle but super nice. Lol.

If nothing g else adaptive cruise is so good. Makes being out of the road so stress free when it comes to ever Johnny can’t hold speed out there

You can't compare the ST line to the ST. The line is just badging and a few trim pieces.
IDK I love my Edge ST. I buy a lot of Fords and this is by far my favourite.
With some Livernois goodies it runs low 13's and still gets 8/L per 100 kms at 115 km/h.
Its just a great vehicle. Also first vehicle I've ever owned for almost 2 years and not a single warranty issue.
When my Bronco arrives I not sure if I will trade the ST on it or not. I might just keep it.

Thanks that good to know on the fuel economy.
The Ford website says 11l/100km. Was hoping it would be better than that

If you stay out of sport mode and out of the boost its not bad in the city. But I added a annoying blow off valve to bring back my inner youth so in the city mines not that great. :policemad:

[5.4MarkVIII]

Lol both the F150 with the Borlas and the 440 in sport more are the same.

If you can do it, I think you should get the ST. As far as I know the ST comes with every option, maybe even the massage seats and other things that if you're driving 250K, you'll want in the truck.

I had a 2017 Explorer XLT with a 3.5 NA V6 and just over one year ago I moved up to the 2020 Explorer ST. There is no comparison, the Explorer has the 3.0 Turbo which is a new motor for that year. I have about 16K on the truck and it's been awesome. Ford Performance really stepped up with this offering, it's like a domestic BMW X5 for much less cost.

The 2.7 eco is now the standard motor in the Ford F150, they dropped the N/A V6 altogether. It's plenty enough for an F150, even hauling an open trailer. I only went 3.5 eco because I tow an enclosed trailer. Almost all my friends except for one all have the 2.7 eco and they love it hands down.

The 2.0 Ecoboost I think is the upgraded motor for the Escape, it prolly does fine in an Edge, but if you can get an ST......doooooo it.

^ 3.3L N/A V6 is still the base motor for 2021 F150’s.

Sorry, I should have said for Crew Cabs.......

XL and fleets still get the hamster motor.

I'm sure you're right but on the Ford.ca site choose any crew cab and the base motor is the 2.7. I also saw in two u.s. dealer YouTube vids that the 302A only comes 2.7, diesel, 3.5 and powerboost. Also, you can't get 2.7 with a long box apparently. The xl sport appearance option is gone for regular cabs in 2021. But I'm sure you have more detail than me.

[Armen]

No actually, I just went to the Ford.ca site after you posted because that was new info to me. But I was able to spec an XLT s-crew with a 5.5’ bed and 4x4 and the base motor is the 3.3 n/a. The 2.7 EB is a $900 option.

Not with a 6.5 bed.

[Armen]

Yes. As soon as you tick 6.5’ bed, it automatically puts in the 2.7EB. 5.5’ bed XL, XLT standard equipment engine is the 3.3L N/A.
