When must Ford provide MPG estimates?

If you're worried about MPG now, you probably should've purchased a Bronco Sport.

Who gives a S? Honestly is a couple mog going to change anyone's mind?

I mean, at 15,000 miles/year, assuming ~$4/gal, that's a $1,000/year difference in gas costs between 15mpg and 20mpg. It's not nothing for people who are maybe on the fence or people who are not as gung-ho Bronco or nothing consumers on this board.

I'm personally not that concerned with fuel mileage, if we're talking 18 vs 20. 15 vs 20? That's a significant percentage difference.

Any one remember the Escalade Hybrid from the early 2010s? I think they were boasting it got an extra 6 MPGs city, which sounded paltry until you think about the percentage improvement going from 14 to 20. Quite a difference.

If your worried about mpg keep the boost under 5 psi. Preferably under 2.

It should be somewhere between ranger and f150 if I had a guess. Those indicators on the instrument panel are usually about as accurate as a banana for size reference.

It's going to be worse than Ranger. More weight and worse aerodynamics.

2.3 base 2drs miiiight match Ranger if we're lucky.

I'm pretty sure that MPG is a rating given by the EPA, not the manufacturer. The Bronco has 2 different engines, 2 different transmissions, different axle ratios, and multiple tire/wheel sizes so it's a little more involved than other vehicles. Additionally, I'd bet the rating is required to come from a production vehicle and we're not quite there yet. 16-20 mpg across the different set-ups is a good estimate.

Zero effs given here....i don't expect better than 15 with 35s. If I cared about mpg I wouldn't be buying a 4 wheel drive cinder block lol

I imagine the thought process was:

F150 < Bronco < Ranger; however, looking at MPG ratings for a 4wd F150 (2.7L) and 4wd Ranger (2.3L) the difference in combined MPG is only 1 mpg (21mpg for F150, 22mpg for Ranger), I imagine the Bronco will be worse than both. Was actually surprised the F150 was so close considering the higher weight and larger overall size.

You can find them on: https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Pow...&year=2021&make=Ford&amp;pageno=1&rowLimit=50

Bronco Sport and Mach-e are there, obviously no Bronco.

The current average price for gas is 2.85. so your calculations are off.
And if this is a determining factor for a purchase then it means you do not have the money to buy the car and should definitely not buy it.

When we went to the Bronco showing in San Diego, the reps indicated they drove the 2.3 MT & 2.7 auto from Michigan to San Diego and got gas at the same time. These were 4 Door non-SAS and they indicated they got about 20 mpg from each rig. The trims were BL Dia and OBX

This is an incredibly helpful anecdote! 20mpg for non-Sasquatch was exactly what I figured. Maybe even slightly more for the 2-Door...
