I have a 2020 TH 2.0 Turbo and get 15 mpg in the city, maybe 20-22 highway.
20-22 highway?? I have a 2020 V6 TH with a lift and 245/70/17 tires, and I recently did a road trip with roughly 24 mpg the whole time. Trip was 400 miles round trip. On the 200 mile trip back, I still had half a tank left

That’s really good! But after a mfc 2 inch lift, Dobinsons 1 1/2 inch suspension lift,roof rack, 32inch spare tire carrier on the back hitch, 32s all around, plus dual Gibson exhaust, plus other mods 20 mpg is best I get! Usually around 15 mpg off road. But I didn’t buy it for mileage, if I did I would have bought a Prius 😡😩and that’s not happening 😃

Rethinking it , 15 mpg off-road really isn’t that bad my Rubicon only gets 10 mpg off road and that will only get worse as my mods increase. But it’s why we do it!😃
As for choosing between a TH or my Rubicon, that’s easy on road the Cherokee off road the Rubicon. I guess I’ve got the best of both worlds! Happy Jeeping 😃no matter what Jeep you drive😃

I didn't buy mine for the MPG either, but when I spend 75-80 USD to fill up, every bit helps 😂

Build date May 2019
WAY BETTER than a Wrangler, and I wouldn't have traded in my Trailhawk either. I would need to have both...LOL!!! I love the upcoming Raptor Bronco, but it's so far not available in the 2 door. Great color BTW...😎

Aren't they all that way now pretty much??? 125,000 miles is the new 300,000 miles evidently...😉😎
Apparently theres a recall coming. Bronco 2.7L engines are blowing up their valvetrains under normal conditions

That's why I'm interested to see what the new 3.0 Ecoboost they're putting in the Raptor models will do. Still think a good old 5.0 Coyote would be a great option for the big Broncos, but I'm a little partial...😉😎

The 5.0 would be a great option in the big Bronco!

Is it proven?and the Raptor is 125$, you can almost buy a Rubicon and a TH for that cost! The jury is still out for me on the Bronco, I’ll see in a couple of years we’re they stand after we see them on the trails?! But they are definitely worth o look though, maybe the price will come down?as of now a Rubicon fully loaded around 67$ and the Equally loaded down Bronco 88$ big difference! Proven vs not proven, I’ll wait a while! I usually say happy Jeeping but this forum may be full of Broncos?

I had a similar problem with my 2003 ford SVT Cobra. It had a famous Head Tick! but a new head didn't fix it so I ended up with a new motor. 19K in warranty work. this all happened at 1,200 miles.
