    The most impressive part is how this thing handles itself on the road! Efficiency is also better than expected in our test. Also I mentioned 37” tires, this vehicle has 35”, apologies!

    Sasquatch = 35's, not 37's as mentioned

    I have a 2.7 Bronco. You are right about the ride quality and the mileage. Great vehicle.

    Very encouraging results! I was concerned about this as I'm expecting to take delivery on a 2022 Bronco Badlands with the Sasquatch package and 2.7L V6. Thanks for the thorough review.

    2 months in with an OBX, 2.3L, stock wheels/tires and I get 23mpg in suburban driving. better than i expected!
    ETA, i cannot wait for a hybrid version!!!

      Hybrid version, that is just plain stupid. You are embarrassing Bronco owners, stop.

  • @Haulass95gt
    @Haulass95gt Před 2 lety +2

    The sasquatch package comes with a 4.70 rear gear, that's why the RPMs are up a little on the freeway.

    I'm definitely getting the Bronco. But wait! They are about to announce the Bronco Raptor! Depending on how impressive it is, I'm going to order the Raptor !

      2 door 2.7 Bronco > Fat Chick Raptor
      4319 lbs/330hp vs 5800 lbs/400hp
      13.1 lbs/hp vs 14.5 lbs/hp

  • @ilovecars2978

    The First Edition Bronco has full underneath body armor which makes the mileage even more impressive.

    • @mpeugeot
      @mpeugeot Před 2 lety

      Actually, it probably helps the mileage by smoothing out the airflow underneath.

    I bet it surpassed the MPG rating because they did the Ford Lightning thing of "let's load a 1000 lbs on it just cause"

  • @BoostedsnailS209
    @BoostedsnailS209 Před 2 lety

    Not sure how you are getting those numbers. My wife and I have the same FE and we get 15.6 around town and 18-19 on Hwy if we are lucky.

  • @whocaresjustdoit
    @whocaresjustdoit Před 2 lety

    The hard top, from this video, seems like it was pretty quiet. I test drove a soft top
    Bronco and it was excruciatingly painfully loud on the highway, to the point that I decided not to buy it for that sole reason. Hopefully they fix the hard top quality control soon and I’ll give it another try. Good stuff!

    Highway driving is perfection; you know in a F250 with the 6.2 you can get 13mpg
    Kinda cool.

  • @alen32896
    @alen32896 Před 2 lety +6

    19 mpg for a new vehicle is pretty lackluster even if it's for an SUV. In an age where electric pickups and getting over 100 mpge is common, 19 just isn't enough.

  • @robertt1336
    @robertt1336 Před 2 lety +1

    It’s hard to believe any car would get less than 20mpg on the hwy in 2022… body styling, tires, and off road gearing prob shouldn’t be a thing, even if attractive. Did like interior vibe tho

    • @0hypnotoad0
      @0hypnotoad0 Před 2 lety +1

      Nothing wrong with an off-road vehicle, so long as it actually spends most of it's time on trails and service roads where the big tires are actually helpful, and where aerodynamics aren't a consideration due to lower driving speeds. Too many people buy these for style points and only use them on the streets and highways, and then it basically becomes a roving pollution machine.

    • @Snookchaser007
      @Snookchaser007 Před 2 lety +4

      This is a country that revolves around freedom. I do use my Bronco on trails but if someone wants to buy one just for style and looks and they can afford the vehicle, gas, and the car meets highway safety standards great for them. Who are you to choose what vehicle others “should” drive. I am not a fan of small cars but am in favor of those who are being free to choose them.

  • @ouch1011
    @ouch1011 Před 2 lety +2

    I think it’s time to stop celebrating really terrible fuel economy just because it’s “better” than some other trucks. Fuel economy numbers for a lot of trucks have only marginally improved over the past couple decades, and yet they are now some of the most common vehicles on the road. To be clear, that’s not the fault of Kyle or the channel, that is the fault of vehicle manufacturers being irresponsible, consumers not caring, and the government’s failure to enact appropriate regulations.

    • @mpeugeot
      @mpeugeot Před 2 lety +1

      Yes, more government regulation will make everything better... Have you considered that this vehicle might be much more fuel efficient had government not been helping in the first place?

  • @rzu7120
    @rzu7120 Před 2 lety +3

    Very rude driving to not let the truck back into the right lane after he pulled over for you. You should have gotten behind him until he could get back into the right lane.

    • @josephs8364
      @josephs8364 Před 2 lety

      That’s not efficient. That means the truck changed lanes. Then the truck switch back over. Then the bronco changed lanes to pass the truck. Then the bronco switch lanes again to get back in the right lane. 4 lane changes vs 2

  • @robadr13

    A brick, cruising the freeway at 17 (sorry..19.6) mpg. In 2022.
