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

[85_Ranger4x4]

This just adds to the confusion. So the 2.7L gets worse MPG than the 2.3 for Base, Big Bend, OBX, but manages to improve for the Black Diamond? Additionally, the Black Diamond gets the same MPG as the sasquatch on 35s for the 2.3L engine?

I haven't ran the numbers but I wonder if black diamond has the deepest gears for its tire size and if at the test speed it hits the 2.3 at a bad spot in the powerband where it is under boost.

Its all I can come up with.

Wow, may be I should just wait for the imaginary hybrid version in 2029 or the hope for a Warthog EV in 2023.

TL;DR I'll be happy with my 2.7 SAS BL...and I'll tune it and be VERY happy with 400 hp and 500 lb ft...

 

[BroncoAgain]

A 400 HP tune would be great. Don't need that warranty anyway.

I'm disappointed in the numbers but not shocked. Was hoping for just 2-3mpg better on average. At least we know.

Me as soon as I fill up the first time and see the MPGs

This video was just posted. Fuel Economy spied.

Badlands, 2 door Cactus Grey, 2.3L Manual Transmission on 33s (carbonized grey beadlocks).

At 5.58 of the video we can see the Fuel Economy MPG average. 20.2 (11.76lts per 100km)
I hope that's right for the 2 door manual Badlands.
This is my exact build. Nice to finally see it.

@5.58

Could this be my VIN? Haha

I heard they ran the fuel economy trials in Baja mode

Ford will put out a performance pack that will be warranty compliant...

Glad I jumped ship - 18! With all of the juicy technology?

So, is this with or without hard tops? And which one?

 

[Lainez]

Range anxiety is an issue. The Bronco was supposed to be the family adventuremobile. I can live with the reduced cargo and convince myself with the low towing capability. All that plus mileage way below Jeep, Ranger and F150? Makes a F150 Tremor more enticing.

I guess I will wait for the real world numbers since I am a MY22

These numbers pretty much justify me buying a 4Runner, instead...However, the numbers for the Jeep are complete BS! Myself and my wife have owned multiple Jeeps and those numbers aren't even close to real world!

Just filled up my 23 gallon tank on the 2017 4Runner. Checked fuel avg and after a little over 1k miles I was at 17.7mpg. I have a mix of about 25% highway 75% suburban with little to no sitting in traffic with either. I'm usually in the eco mode fuel range also as I'm not a lead foot. 4Runner isn't going to save you on gas.

Definitely looks like some holes in this data. It doesn’t specify 2dr vs 4dr, hardtop or soft, and how can all trim models with Sasquatch be the same when some do not have steel bumpers, bash plates, sliders, etc. Why even release this? It’s close to useless.
