Why No Published MPG ?

[ttaylor667]

Guesss what? No one cares that you dont care. I care that my brain wasted seconds of my life accidentally reading anything from your useless posts and further hate myself that I wasted another 30 seconds writing this. I feel better now, guess I was "triggered."

Oh, did the wittle snowflake get twiggered by da bad man's words?? <sniffle> <sniffle> Maybe mama can snuggle you to her ample bosom and comfort you.

My question would be what drive train are you all running? Stock Base with the AT has 3.73 gearing, options run from 4.27 to 4.70. So your MPG will depend on what config you order as well as how you drive. As Always; Your Mileage May Vary.

. No reason to get hung up on the actual numbers as we know EPA testing on turbo engines are optimistic.

I have a lifetime tank avg of 36+ on my fiesta st. Not that I expect to be pleasantly surprised by the bronco's mpg.

MPG is absolutely a factor. I bought a Chevy ZR2 bison on 12/26, and even though I'm working from home full time, I've already put nearly 2000 miles on it.. it's a great truck, built similarly to the Bronco - upgraded bash plates, winch ready front bumper, front and rear recovery points, front and rear lockers, 4L and 4H, etc - it's got the gas 3.6L V6. my overall mileage is around 15-16mpg total, with around town being about 14mpg and highway being around 18-20 if I reallllly baby it.
Based on the performance of the Ecoboost Mustang I had prior to this truck, I know that the EB engines are capable of really impressive mileage with some conservative driving, so I'm hoping to see slightly better numbers out of both the 2.3 and 2.7 engines in the Bronco.

My dad drives a 13 Wrangler Sport 2dr 6sp MT w/3.21 gear ratio & 32” AT tires. He gets over 20 mpg in the real world. My 00 Wrangler Sport 4.0L 5sp MT w/3.07 gear ratio & 31” MT tires gets 15 mpg on a good day. I suspect the Bronco will be better than my TJ in any configuration. It’ll probably do as well as my dads JK with similar tires and gearing. I do not expect the Badlands I’m ordering to even sniff the 20 mpg mark. My 12 Taco only got 18 mpg. And it was certainly more aerodynamic than the Bronco will be and wasn’t running 33” tires.

I think one of the problems is that with the turbo you can get boost, or you can get good mpgs. There isn't much of an in between there. A lot of people don't understand that, and Ford does a piss poor job at letting them know.

Yes, because the Bronco is the first turbo vehicle in their fleet and Ford doesn‘t know how to test one and record MPG due to it being a turbo engine. Because a turbo engine is new to vehicles from any manufacturer, a turbo engine is rare? Come on now, Ford knows exactly what the mpg is, they just don’t want to publish it until they have to.

Many new Bronco owners are currently CAR drivers who have never put a wheel on a rock ( and the Bronco will be a very capable 4wd). Publishing a 16 city and 19 hwy mpg would hurt sales from these CAR drivers. Let the car owners buy the Bronco and learn how expensive it is to have fun in it. Many will not be able to afford the cost of ownership for their mall crawler. Two years from now will be very nice used Bronco prices from people that couldn’t afford the gas bill.

They probably haven't published the MPG because they really don't think we care....

They aren't listening! (Jk)

Twin turbo diesel!

I don't disagree with you there. Many may be looking at the Bronco as just a cooler SUV, and are going to be surprised. I think it may be a bit higher than 16/19 for the Broncos with the 3.73 gearing, but you are probably pretty dang close for the ones sporting the squatch, and 4.27's.

If someone can afford the Bronco I think 16MPG would be easy to swallow. That’s pretty damn good unless your dirt poor, which again - if you can afford the truck that’s good indication your not poor.

I'm paying cash for my Badlands, and it damn will better get more MPG than that.
Just because I can afford something, that doesn't mean I want to.

16MPG x 16 GAL gas tank = 250 miles range (low gas light on @ 200 miles)

I’m expecting 15-20mpg at this point for a Badlands.

The 2.3 in a Focus could probably get 30, but the Bronco is less aerodynamic, about double the weight, and has larger heavier rotating mass on each corner.

Per Fuelly, the Ranger gets about 20 avg. with the 2.3. Again the Bronco in Badlands config is bigger all around.

Now a 2-door base Bronco 2.3 might get 20/25, but at this point it’s all just speculation.
