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

[internationlriders]

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.

Yeah good point and I was gonna say, these are stock Wranglers not lifted on 35's with steel bumpers, rock rails, etc. weighing a bit less. Lift the Wrangler and put 35's and down goes the MPGs even further. While I've managed to get great MPG's from all stock JEEP JLUs my old grand gets closer to 15 MPG combined.

ditch the manual and the 2.3 for the 2.7 to get like 12% more range, that is not insignificant for the 2-door.

These numbers could possible be on eco mode with primium fuel!
Not pissed but alittle disappointed with fuel range on sas 2 door. 250 then refuel.

For Ford to say they are competing with Jeep....they just gave Jeep a huge selling point against the Bronco. 6 extra MPG adds up.

I do want to add in typical Ford fashion it makes no sense.

2.7L auto general: non-Sasquatch Badlands 18-20mpg

2.7L auto Badlands non- Sasquatch 17-18mpg

DOES ANYONE PROOFREAD ANYTHING?

What's the devil in these details? Why are there two listed ratings for the same vehicle?

Tanks sizes
2dr 16.9
4dr 20.8 Gallons

Range at ~280mi for a manual badlands 2dr assuming no offroad loss is going to be interesting in some parts of Big Bend Country in Texas.

Eh, carry a jerry can and you get all that range back and more.

Hahahahahhahahah, wtf, does the gen 1 bronco have better mpg?!

But really, you're buying this not because of the mpg but christ almighty, it would be great if it had better than 17 so that it would make long road trips across this beautiful country much more easier on the wallet.

Yeah it's going to burn a lot and be costly to run. It gets the same as my 97 Wrangler with the 4.0 tractor six.....but the Bronco at least has a lot more HP to keep up with traffic. Lack of aerodynamics, brick in the wind.........

they are not even close.

For the sas, I will ever so simply sum it up that 17 city feels good...17 highway feels bad, it still averages to what we were expecting (17 mixed) so it really depends on whether you do more city or more highway driving to be happy or upset. I'm happy.

I'd rather have 17/17/17 than 15/19/17, whereas highway warriors may feel the opposite. To me, I could easily justify getting 15 or 16 real world city (17 advertised), knowing that it takes regular, and what that would be the equivalent for premium (18 mpg on premium?). But for some reason, if it was 15 advertised city (13-14 MPG real world) it starts to creep into low teens and for some reason would bother me...like a lot more...strange how that works.

More reference points / technical specs chart for comparing the trims / models:

That's VERY poor fuel mileage for this day and age, but I'm sure not many people set to buy a Bronco care either way.

If you are looking for good fuel mileage, then don't buy a Bronco or wait for the Electric version to come out in a couple of years or so.

seems bogus. example Sas all trims. 17 both HWY and City? How? I mean, I am cool with that but it makes no sense to me.

I saw the same city/hwy numbers on my Jeep. Tire size, gear ratio, wind resistance all add up to more throttle to maintain hwy speeds. If the interstate speed was 60 mph the mileage would be more.

Is that in Eco Mode? Or Regular?

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.
