Yep the 2.7L is a great, pretty much rock solid engine. They had minor issues in the 1st Gen but that was all resolved in later Gen versions. Plus it's port and direct injected so no worries on the long term maintenance related to carbon buildup the 2.3L and 3.0L can experience later on since...
I can highly recommend diode dynamics products for the folks that don’t like the factory setup. Quality products, awesome company, right here in USA, not that china shit on Amazon and elsewhere

The only thing I will add is the statement on the J-Brace Kit Product Details (below). 88 lbs!!!
That's FAR from "extreme off-road conditions". SHAME on Ford for a lacking design. So much for "Built Ford Tough"

Well in the early 70’s we had gun rack over the back window in our trucks for our rifles and shotguns every where we went. School parking lot full of guns. We never had to worry about locking our vehicles or homes, keys normally left in vehicles. Those days are long gone unfortunately
Exactly!!! So much for "Built Ford Tough". Fords competitors in the same class of truck do not require such bull crap of J-Braces at the customers expense. It to make it worse, it seems there practically on eternal backorder. Could have easily been engineered into the bed at assembly, but...
IMO, the 2.7L is a game changer for Non-Raptor Rangers. Everything I've seen and read is very positive on the 2.7L. The "1st Gen" 2.7L had some minor issues but Ford resolved that in the newer generation. Not that there is anything wrong with the 2.3L, it's been around a while and a good...
