¹ With the Sasquatch Package (765): the maker’s figure for the configuration with that factory option.
² With the Advanced 4x4 (EMTC transfer case): the maker’s figure for the configuration with that factory option.

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

Estimate ±A dashed underline marks our estimate where the maker prints no figure: worked out from its other numbers, shown with its margin (±), and never used for a headline, comparison or ranking.

02 / What changed

New for 2021

The 2021 is the earliest Bronco model year we hold, so there is nothing before it to compare.

The 2021 documents

4 documents behind the 2021 Bronco’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 7, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.
