my favorite trim level, personally after building a 2019 ranger for off road, the 2.3 is an incredible engine. Great gas mileage, plenty of power and that low end torque from a single turbo config does better when off roading. In my area, broncos are no longer being marked up and most have $3k-$7k in discounts. Still holding out for better rate incentives ! Fingers crossed
So the reason the 2.3 is the only power-plant available is due to the mounting location of the alternator on the engine. On the 2.3, it is mounted higher than on the 2.7 giving it a higher clearance when fording streams.
