EPA releases fuel economy ratings for the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor

The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a beast. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 pumps out an estimated 400 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, while the body widens 8.6 inches to accommodate 37-inch BFGoodrich KO2 off-road tires. While these changes make the Bronco an even more competent off-roader, it comes at a price. The EPA released their fuel economy rating for the 2022 Bronco Raptor, and unsurprisingly, it’s the least efficient Bronco in the lineup.

The EPA says the 2022 Bronco Raptor will achieve 15 miles per gallon city and 16 mpg on the highway for a combined rating of 15 mpg. This makes it thirstier than other off-road models, including the V-6-powered Sasquatch, which achieves 17 mpg combined. The most efficient Broncos, on the other hand, are the four-cylinder-equipped base models, which return 20mpg combined, regardless of whether they use a manual or automatic transmission.

The Bronco Raptor’s closest competitor, the 470-horsepower Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392, guzzles more gas, with 13 mpg city and 17 mpg on the highway for a combined figure of 14 mpg. However, the 392 pulls it off with a whopping 6.4-liter V8 stuffed under the hood. While the 392 also gets taller suspension and other off-road goodies, it rides on significantly smaller 33-inch tires (there’s an option for 35s). While the Bronco Raptor is slightly more fuel efficient than its Jeep rival, we doubt many buyers of these all-terrain conquistadors would be concerned about how much fuel their $70,000 brutes are chugging.
