The days of having to turn to an aftermarket tuner for increased performance, at the cost of a vehicle’s warranty, are long behind us as automakers have been offering factory-backed upgrades for years.<\/p>\n

One of the most active in this field is Ford via its Ford Performance division which has just come out with some power upgrades for the Bronco<\/a> and Explorer ST<\/a> SUVs. The upgrades are designed for Broncos dating back to the 2021 model year and Explorer STs dating back to 2020.<\/p>\n

For the Bronco, there’s a power upgrade for both the standard 2.3-liter turbo-4 and available twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6. In both cases the upgrade is a new engine calibration priced at $825.<\/p>\n

For the 2.3-liter engine, the upgrade (part no. M-9603-B23) lifts output to 330 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque, up from the stock 300 hp and 325 lb-ft. The upgrade is also said to deliver improved throttle response throughout the rev range, as well as an optimized shift schedule for the 10-speed automatic, and down-shift rev matching for the 7-speed manual.<\/p>\n

For the 2.7-liter engine, you’re looking at a boost to 355 hp and 433 lb-ft with the upgrade (part no. M-9603-B27), up from the stock 330 hp and 415 lb-ft. Here, too, you get the improved throttle response and optimized shift schedule for the exclusive 10-speed auto.<\/p>\n

For the Explorer ST there’s only the one engine, a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, and it’s paired exclusively with the 10-speed auto. The engine normally delivers 400 hp and 415 lb-ft, but the Ford Performance power upgrade (part no. M-9603-EX30) lifts things to 430 hp and 467 lb-ft of torque. There’s also improved throttle response and an optimized shift schedule. Once again the upgrade is a new engine calibration, and the price tag is also $825.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
