Balancing it against my V10 and it looks pretty good.
Same here. 2008 F350 srw rc manual. When I put bfg AT on I lost a cpl mpg. Scary thing is they’re smaller than the non sasq bfgs on the bl.

Nice I love the reg cabs. Mine's a manual as well but a super cab.

So i had done some number crunching myself. My car gets upper 30's for commute miles and gas is $5 a gallon.

When factoring the yearly costs, including gas, tires, oil changes, insurance, and DMV registration...it was going to cost me $1,200 MORE per year to keep my commuter car then just drive the Bronco.

So just sold it to Shift for over 19k while used prices are super high.

My point being...make sure to include everything because the cost of ownership goes well past just gas.

I'm daily driving the most efficient vehicle I currently have access to, a 2000 Ford Ranger 4.0 V6 with 160 hp. I drove home from Marquette, MI to Plymouth, IN, over 350 miles, and observed a 16.8 mpg mileage. I'll gladly take twice the power, more capability and a manual transmission from my pending Badlands purchase.

I'm getting 13 mpg's from premium out of my DD LR3, so the Bronco should be a gas saver already. In the summer I like to take the Triumph Tiger to work and that get's over 40 mpg's, and the bride's Sport gets 26-28 so there's more gas savings.

I also drive a Model Y Performance powered by free electricity (9pm-9am daily) and a '19 Mazda MX-5 which can get 30+ mpg when I don't drive it too hard (which is rare).

We have 3 efficient cars: Yaris iA, Golf Sportwagen, and Elantra.
We have one medium: Suzuki Samurai with a Geo Tracker engine.
And we have a 1966 442 that gets 7-12 mpg.

What is free electricity?

My electric provider doesn't charge me for usage between 9pm and 9am daily. One of the benefits of living in an area with deregulated electricity.

Wow. We have no choice who our electricity is with, so no discounts, much less free.

Fiat 500e free charge at local ChargePoint. Or svartpilen 401 on nice weather days. Paid 7000 for used 500e and it’s pretty fun to drive.

Tesla Model Y Performance with free charging at my office. But with the new Bronco, the Tesla hasn’t gotten much love lately.
