Why is it from people and descriptions say this g05 yellow coolant is compatible but valvolines own website says it isn't. what else can I use that isn't Motorcraft?

That stuff is compatible with the Gold Motorcraft coolant which the Bronco doesn’t use.
You can use anything that meets the same WSS-M97B57-A2 specifications as the yellow motorcraft coolant in the Bronco.

What about this? Just says Ford Trucks 2019+. Some online auto parts store says this will work and others don't. Their parts department says yes and even Valvoline's website says no. The other yellow coolants are just as confusing trying to understand them.

Yes, that is compatible. Ford trucks use the same coolant as the Bronco and it meets WSS-M97B57-A1 and A2 which is correct.

You’ve been going back and fourth on this for a few days and it has me curious as to why. What’s wrong with the Motorcraft product? is it expensive vs the others or do you have an anticdote of a bad experience?

Has me wondering if I should be concerned.
