The Ford Bronco will use the Ranger’s 2.3-liter four-cylinder

We’re not normally in the habit of randomly running through Canadian Tire’s online tool for finding
. Today we made an exception, though, after reading
indicating that “
top department store” — their words, not ours — leaked confirmation that the upcoming
Bronco will feature a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine.
We checked it ourselves, and sure enough,
Canadian Tire will happily show its customers wiper blade options for the 2021 Ford Bronco
, along with a slew of other parts and accessory categories. And the store’s online tool does indeed indicate that said Bronco will have a 2.3-liter DOHC engine. The engine carries a 4-140 description, which likely means 4 cylinders and 140 cubic inches of displacement.
This is presumably the same turbocharged four-cylinder engine that powers the current
.
This is far from confirmation of the Bronco’s powertrain, but it jives with our previously held expectations. We know the Bronco will share a good deal of its underpinnings with the
, and carrying over its well-regarded engine and transmission makes sense. We’d expect power ratings of 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque to carry over from the truck to the SUV, likely routed to all four wheels through the same 10-speed automatic transmission.
We don’t know exactly when the new Ford Bronco will debut, but there’s a good chance we have a good long time to wait before we get any sort of confirmation from the Blue Oval. And that means we can expect a lot more
, leaks,
and reports to surface in the meantime. Buckle up, Bronco fans.
