Official MPG figures: 2021 Bronco 2.3L and 2.7L fuel economy

[BroncoAgain]

If 2 MPG either way makes a difference, you're looking at the wrong vehicle.

What a great timing to release these numbers! Premium over $4.00 today and gas line out to the road! Yay! Might have to look at Jeep 4xe $300 lease deal.

I'm not going to lie the 4xe is looking pretty attractive right now. As much as I want the Bronco it is making me reconsider.

Anyone know what the expected ranges will be?

17 combo for Sas Package all across the board. I didn't expect city to match that of the highway.

(and for all my stalking on Bronco6G I finally am a second third poster!)

Technically, you are second. I do not count the OP. Not sure how other people would look at it. I guess you could say that you are the second reply and hoping to be the first. I stalk a little too much and have been the first to reply.

On this post; If it is correct, I am fine with the fuel mileage. I drive a 6.0 4x4 dually everyday. it is NOT factory. With lots of uprades, I have a hard time not keeping a foot in it. The MPRP exhaust sounds so good! I may get 14 or 15 mpg on average if I am lucky. I also agree with several peoples replies that the original numbers are suspect...

Hope not!

So then maxed out with passengers and gear in the back and on the roof.......9 mpg?

What about topless/doorless figures?

For all of those people who are surprised by the gas mileage on the 2.7 I'm not understanding why. Did you really think that it was going to get close to 20mpg? Pipe dream! It will get the same as my F250 and I'm totally good with that.

its 2021 for a company like ford to design a car and have the milage come out to this is so bad somebody should lose their job.

just put a v8 in the car if you are going to ship and "Ecoboost" vehicle that gets 16mpg

I wish there was 33 gallon gas tank option for 2 door. 230 mile range (full to gas light) is too short.

For those comparing to a 3.6L JL RUBICON I can personally say I’ve never seen anything better than 17mpg. I usually average around 15mpg even with highway driving. So I’m happy with these numbers.

you must have a heavy foot. I average between 20 and 21 with 65% hwy miles @ 70 mph. This weekend I got 18 driving through the Ozarks at 80-85mph

HAHAHA, so a 2-door Sasquatch 2.7 gets 287 mi on a full tank of gas. Talk about range anxiety!

 

[Gamecock]

I’m pretty happy with 17 city on a 330hp vehicle running 35s. I can’t think of a scenario where you could have tires that big and get mileage that good. Not bad.

Totes, but your F250 can carry 3x the fuel!

I would say that is a really good MPG. I mean, the competitor has better MPG but they offer 32". Bronco has better numbers than the Ranger Tremor that has 19 MPG, but again, on 32". Therefore, having a off-road vehicle on 35" configuration and it get 18 MPG. It's a really big win.

Don't you typically want lots of low end torque in a off road vehicle? In the F150 the 5.0 doesnt make peak torque till 4250RPM and doesn't make peak power till 6,000RPM. The 5.0 is an engine that loves to be wound up in the higher part of the power band, that doesn't seem like a good set up for offroading from what I have learned so far.

It is true that the 5.0 likes to rev. However, those with auto over at mustang6g rave about how well the 10 speed holds the gears to keep them in the proper rpms. Having said that, i think Ford made the right choice of engines for the Bronco.

I can hear my order moving up the build pull chart as i type this.

Bronco Nation could have done Ford a favor and posted Rubicon numbers at least:

My 4door Badlands is nowhere close to these numbers...........
