Would you trade in the Sport for the Big Bronco? Why or why not??

[Mark S.]

Need steps ASAP, i can barely get in the dang thing.

Well no wonder, I think most 12-year-olds would have trouble getting in one!

I don’t think I would - but you never know lol - my Bronco is only a month old and I’m loving it - it’s funny how I end up getting it - I had brought my Eco in to get the winter tires off and I end up driving off the lot 2 hours later in my 2024 Sport Bronco lol - more space and comfy. Told my salesman this is my last vehicle and he laughed and said that’s what you said when you bought the other one lol
So right now I’m loving my Bronco

I believe I read that the Sport has more room in the back seat than the Big Bronco. I don't know how others drive, but I average 28 mpg around town. Highway driving (off of interstates) I get as high as 33 mpg. It does go down to around 23 mpg when pulling a trailer. With a small lift, additional skid plates, and a little taller tires, it is very capable offroad. If you want to keep up with the Jeep Wranglers, you'll want the Big Bronco.

Big Bronco is cool I like the looks of the two doors a lot. I don't care for the bigger bronco 4 doors at all. Lower fuel economy, crazy heavy for its size, issues still being reported on the hard tops, and crazy insane out of this world high sticker prices. The big Bronco nope not me its scratched off my list as a hard no.

No way on earth you are getting anywhere near 28mpg City in a badlands sport.

Just back from a little trip, badlands first edition 2.0 25.7 mpg , and that’s with a full load and bags, along with 235/70/17 Goodyear wrangler

The other guy said he was getting 28 mpg in the city it sounds like you were on a trip.If someone says city driving i think stop and go with traffic lights in that case i say no way on 28 mpg.

Don't forget that @NMhunter lives in Albuquerque, which is around 5,300' elevation. Altitude can have a marked effect on fuel economy.

 

[wireman]

Yes and no.

Yes for the design and the offroad capability.

No because of the cost and piss poor fuel economy.

I'm "The new guy", but here's my story:

My wife and I stopped at a gas station and she went in, while I was waiting I noticed this really nice electric blue Jeep Wrangler next to me. After a few minutes the guy that owned it came out, and stopped in his tracks when he saw our Bronco Sport Badlands. He said "I'm thinking of switching to that, how does it ride? I remarked that our previous car was a Buick Cascada convertible, and it rode almost as good as that, the classic Buick ride. He was astounded. I told him that I previously had a Toyota FJ Cruiser, which was a kidney belt vehicle, and the difference between the BS/BL and the FJ was like night and day.

He then asked how it did on gas, and I said about 28mpg, but I've hit 32 as most roads here are 55. He asked me to guess what the Wrangler gets, and I already knew it was 15mpg, like the BS's larger sibling. We exchanged pleasantries on how nice looking our vehicles looked, and he thanked me and left.

So... No. ?

Higher Elevation would make mileage worse No?

Negative.
