2.3L vs. 2.7L Engine?

Hey everyone…looking to buy a new Bronco and wondering which engine to buy?

I don’t like an underpowered vehicle but have heard the 2.3 is enough…seems hard to believe.

This vehicle will be strictly on-road, not rock crawling or anything.

The other factor is I would like to get a manual transmission and understand can only get it with the 2.3L. The tranny is not as important as having the car feel powered well enough.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Many thanks in advance and kind regards.

Edit: Will be getting a 4-door model.

Edit 2: Many, many thanks to all for your helpful comments! Really appreciate it.
