My 2-door Big Bend 2.3 averages better than 21 mpg combined. In all-highway driving it will do just over 25 mpg and go 400 miles on the tank. Not too bad for my tastes.Subaru driver here and I ordered a Bronco 2 door.
I had the same internal struggle. How can I go down in fuel economy when the rest of the world is going electric??
My subaru averages 28 mpg and the 2 door big bend is going to average 21 mpg. Annually that 7 mpg loss works out to $800 more in fuel cost or about $15 a week.
To get the claimed 21 mpg you have to accept the factory wheels or if you replace them make sure you don't exceed the weight of the original wheels. If you go heavier you will use more fuel.
What does the bronco offer that my subaru doesn't?
My subary doesn't allow me to drive up an incline, the computer says "you can't go there!" It stops the vehicle, engines stays on but it won't drive forward.
A manual transmission subaru might but mine is automatic. I test drove a manual subaru and it was still gutless and that's when I decided I want the 2 door Bronco, and I ordered the manual.
That's my take but I want the 2 door.
If I needed a 4 door I wouldn't get the bronco!
