The 2.3-liter Bronco makes 300 hp (304 PS), and the 2.7 cranks out 330 hp (335 PS), while Ford says it’s targeting over 400 hp (406 PS) for the Raptor courtesy of a tough iron-block 3.0-liter Ecoboost V6. And you do at least get a big jump up in performance for your small jump down in economy. So maybe the Raptor’s 15 mpg combined rating, while hardly welcome given how gas prices have rocketed over the last year, isn’t as bad as it first looks. In its standard configuration, the Bronco Sport is powered by a 1.5-liter three-cylinder engine turbocharged to 181 horsepower and 190 pound-feet of torque. That compares with a 20/22/21 mpg rating for the 2.3-liter four-cylinder Bronco in entry level trim.īut to be fair to the Raptor, that’s not really the whole story. Order your 2.3 Bronco in trail-loving Badlands trim with a manual transmission and those numbers tumble to 16/18/17 mpg, which is actually worse than the 17/18/17 mpg figures attributed to the 2.7-liter V6 Ecoboost Badlands with the 10-speed automatic option. Just under 20 selected the seven-speed manual transmission. Bronco fans on the Bronco6G forum recently got a look at a window sticker for one of the hot new Ford trucks, revealing that the high performance Raptor is rated at just 15 mpg city, 16 mpg highway, and 15 mpg overall. I road tested a mid-grade Outer Banks model equipped with the uprated 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 used in the Ford F-150.In the Bronco it makes 315 hp and 410 lb-ft of torque on 87 octane, but Ford. Ford told us around 25-30 of customers opted for the two-door Bronco, while around 70-75 picked the more practical four-door.
