Not much, but your gearing w/ sas is 4.70 its not really freeway gearing. This means the faster you go the more it winds up, higher RPM Sooner, 70mph instead of 75 or 77 at same rpm with 4.46 . I would have to drive them both and see. I'm always doing 80+ shhhh. ?
Not always the case I have traded smaller engine vehicles for larger engine vehicles and got better gas mileage some decent size vehicles with smaller engines are under more of a strain resulting in more gas consumption examples ford ranger with 2.3 4cyl gets about the same if not worse gas mileage as a f150 with a 5.0 v8 or a guy I work with had a f150 with 3.5 EcoBoost v6 was getting worse gas mileage than my f150 with 5.0 v8
Or some people have so little self-awareness that they don't understand how insulting and judgmental they are when they post a thread accusing people of being vehicle "posers"? There's that possibility.
My 5.0 gets better gas mileage than my son's Jeep with a 6 cyl.
Mine will be a school crawler and a Hobby Lobby crawler...but I live off road, so don't tell the OP that I'm more bonafide than he or she is.
It reminded me of that one friend who always has something negative to say to your good news
Love your post Jim. Not kidding saying that I want to be like you when I grow up!Iām 60 and want a toy. Iāve put 3 kids through college, helped one of them get through law school and am putting my youngest through college currently.
I have a ā13 Land Cruiser which checks all the boxes that any rational person not worried about MPG or prestige could want. Great on the highway and good enough for off-roading that all but the serious enthusiast would require.
Maybe Iāll take my Bronco to West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and/or Utah, or maybe Iāll continue to travel comfortably in my Land Cruiser.
It will be clean, except when it isnāt. Iāll let my kids use it after they learn how to drive a standard. It wonāt typically drive me to work, so I wonāt have to worry about it getting door-dinged. Whatever happens in the line of more serious duty, so be it.
The toy in my garage was supposed to be an old muscle car. Iāve had three Porsches and donāt have a big desire to have another one. Iām not a Jeep fan at all, but seeing the Bronco was kinda like hearing a bad-ass song on the radio for the first time. It tugged at my soul in an indescribable and not totally rational fashion. I canāt tell you exactly why Iām getting one, I just know Iāve gotta have it.

" some people have so little self-awareness that they don't understand how insulting and judgmental they are when they post.... pretty much what you been doing.... Be safe out there enjoy your new Bronco......
I think the terminology for folks like that are called "pocket watchers".
