"Someone here with a 2021 has over 95k miles." Listen if it hits 100,000 we at least know a Turbocharged I-3 can hit 100k. Maybe more, and prove Scotty Kilmer wrong lol, kidding

Like for fun, these are all of the Ford Engine names that i'm aware of The 1.0L Fox is a EcoBoost3 Cyl The 1.5L Dragon is also a EcoBoost 3cyl The 1.5L "Sigma" is the EcoBoost 4cyl The 2.7L "Nano" is a Twin-Turbo V6(and the 3L version) the naturally aspirated 3.5L and 3.7L V6s are named "Cyclone"

Interesting that this 3 Cylinder isn't even called Dragon anymore, or part of the Dragon engine family, it's now part of Ford's "MPC" engine family. Also the 1.5L Dragon is based off the 1L "Fox" engine (123hp EcoSport 1.0 3 cylinder turbo), now why it's called the Fox engine is a different...

It lived up to its name for sure LOL

All of the replies have great speculations (Chiefthepup you made my day ?) There's another question though, Is that 1.5L 3cyl engine actually manufactured in Craiova, Romania- Or Chihuahua, Mexico? The info on that seems conflicting

Just for fun, yet somewhat serious, Any idea on why Ford named the 1.5L Engine "Dragon"? For example, we know the 5L V8 Coyote is named after "named after the first Ford with a four-valve V8 which was a race car.." Though I can't take a good guess as to why Ford went with Dragon for the 3-cyl...

Sorry, i meant more of, I kind of paid attention to the vibrations at idle of both engines, i've watched about 2-3 videos of the bronco sport, the reviewer mentioned that the I3 Engine would shake horribly at idle as if it were a 70s vehicle or something. I got curious myself and after...

I went to a ford dealership, they're rated 4.4 out of 5 stars (Deservingly!) So this is my very first time sitting in a Ford Bronco Sport, (Big Bend Edition) 2023. It's maybe a little cramped, considering i'm 6,2 but it doesn't bother me. The design is great, i love how it looks. The 1.5L...

Apparently it's been said that on some EcoBoosts engines (such as the 2.7L V6 Twin Turbo that's in the Big Bronco) They have an electric water pump, which continues to work even after you shut the vehicle off, because issues of the turbo getting too hot and cooking themselves if drivers were to...

My vehicle has the 1.5L EcoBoost 4-cylinder (not the 3-cylinder) it's not a bronco sport, but it only has 60,000 miles on it and I've heard from others (such as Scotty Kilmer) that these engines often get oil dilution, so I smelled the dipstick and there was definitely a bit of gasoline odor on...

Just asking out of curiousity if anyone bothered to check on their Bronco Sport, If this is a common issue with most or all EcoBoosts sometimes.

The issue has been rectified already

The Injectors aren't cracking on the Fiesta ST Version of this 3CYL engine and that thing has been tuned for 250 hp, We could guess ford got a bad batch of injectors?, but honestly if ford isn't replacing the injectors that's probably because it would be so costly and there's so many of them...

I actually was in a 2012 Ford Fusion, it did the same exact thing, sort of weird, when you got low on fuel, it would pause and jerk a bit hard shifts, more noticeable on bigger engine load

Did you notice any slight loss of power at all at any moment?

This is a little extreme...but could you have maybe an injector that cracked and went into limp mode? probably no one on the forums has encountered that but..and the car probably would of said it explicitly, otherwise.....the 1.5L Seems reliable for the most part never heard of this happening.

I know it's not supposed to be a top end sports car, But I am actually kind of SURPRISED by how it handles, than again I don't drive much like a maniac, so what you're about to see may not come as surprising, but for a heavy SUV it takes corners very well, guess it did put the "Sport" in Bronco...

Speaking of V8s, Yknow i have yet to see an LS swaped modern Bronco.

From what i know.. there's a lot of versions of the 1.5L Ti-VCT Dragon The NON-turbocharged version of this engine uses a timing belt dipped in oil. And the TURBO version uses a timing chain, The Fiesta ST in Europe has the same EXACT engine, its cranking 200-hp, no issues. The Turbocharged...

Here is what i meant, In sport mode, there may be faint engine noise pumped in at around 5500-6000 rpm But this sounds authentic to me, if not, it must be really good fake engine noise.
