Can the stop/start, starter-eating feature be deleted?
We had a Jeep Grand Cherokee rental in Florida and it drove us nuts.

My friend who works for Ford says the 350hp tune is awesome in the Ranger. That should off-set the power lost from going to 33 inch tires.
This is kind of why I'm thinking the Ranger Raptor may just use a tuned version of this engine vs the bigger 2.7, lots of overhead capacity with the 2.3 and similar to the HO 3.5 vs std. 3.5 used in the F150.The output for the 2.3L EcoBoost engine covers a really wide range depending on the vehicle. There is plenty of power left on the table when they roll off the assembly line.

The 2.3 comes with forged pistons, rods, and crank as well as other goodies carried over from the Focus RS. It can hold hundreds more HP/TQ than Ford ever builds it with.
How Ford Modified the Focus RS's Engine for Ranger Duty
We poke around the Ranger's engine and discover a lot of similarities to Ford's hottest hatch.www.roadandtrack.com

Out of curiosity, got a link?While I would looooove to see a 2.7 under the hood, the 2.3 can be tuned to reliably provide an obnoxious amount of power.
The 2.3 has the same limitation as the 2.7 and 3.5... you will exceed the limits of the OEM fuel system long before you will damage the motor. Fortunately you can buy aftermarket pumps that will produce the required flow, unfortunately they come with a big price tag.
