How to identify your Bronco’s exact engine
Use these checks to confirm the precise engine in your particular Bronco, especially if you’re buying used or inherited the vehicle.
- Check the VIN: Decode the 17-digit VIN (via Ford’s official site or a trusted VIN decoder) to reveal the engine option attached to the build.
- Inspect the driver-side door jamb sticker: This label lists the engine description and RPO codes for your exact vehicle.
- Look at the engine bay badge or stamping: Some engines carry clear badges like EcoBoost 2.3L or EcoBoost 2.7L.
- Consult the Owner’s Manual or Ford official apps: The digital manual or FordPort/Your Ford Account often shows the original engine specification.
- Check the build sheet or window sticker: If available, the original build documentation will specify the engine.
These steps help verify the engine for maintenance planning, parts compatibility, and fuel-economy expectations.
Summary
For most Broncos sold in the United States, the engine choices are the 2.3L EcoBoost I4 and the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, with the 3.0L EcoBoost V6 reserved for the Bronco Raptor. The exact engine depends on year and trim, so always confirm with the VIN, door sticker, or official Ford documentation to know your specific Bronco’s powerplant.
