The other shots of dash boards with the tank 1/4 full and 100 miles to empty (2.7 4 doors) suggests 20ish or a little under combined. Thatā€™s with, what I assume, is a lot of idling in parking lots. Iā€™m hopeful for 20 mpg with daily use and maybe like 22-23 on the highway.

OBX so maybe, but I think it is more likely it was refueled without reseting the trip meter. Plus that timer seems to be stating 12 hours thirty minutes and zero seconds of drive time since reset. That would be hard to believe was perfectly timed like that, be interesting to see the video, verify it is a real grab and not a doctored picture from Ford

Thatā€™s about what my Ranger gets and itā€™s about 1000 pounds lighter so I expect around that for the Bronco. People expecting more MPG will definitely be disappointed. Especially the Sasquatch ones

Yuck, looks like Iā€™ll be keeping my civic beater to offset that mileage a bit
The bronco is basically a huge brick. Did you actually think it would get amazing gas mileage?

If it gets 13 mpg
If it gets 25 mpg

I donā€™t care... I will be still be buying my bronco... Iā€™m not concerned with fuel mileage on a off road vehicle, if I were I would be shopping Toyota Prius...

Seems like trying to learn much of anything from these screen jabs is faulty. Most operating Broncos are doing a whole lot more idling or operating at weird speeds than in normal use. Or, they're off-roading for testing purposes. Or being driven hard. Or some combination.

Not making any predictions for what the real mileage will be like, but there is no use trying to figure it out from what we're seeing from clips like this.

Except this is the first time I've seen the trip computer. Should give an indication of combined mpg.
For the record, I don't care about mpg, just range. I'm hoping to get an extended or aux fuel tank.
My G500 is getting around 14mpg these days...

Reminds me of my 1998 Mercury Grand Marquis I bought used in 2008 with 110k miles. A thirsty V8, that mofo, averaged 19 mpg too, and it has a better aerodynamics than the Bronco . šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Itā€™s 2021 and implements two turbos it should get in the 20s.
