2024 Ford Bronco Everglades

About the Ford Bronco Everglades

The Ford Bronco Everglades is a rugged SUV designed for off-road adventures. We recently had the opportunity to test drive this vehicle in the mountains of Colorado for over a week. Before our trip, we asked our readers what questions they had about the Bronco Everglades. In this article, we will provide answers to those questions and include a video showcasing the vehicle’s features.

Marine-Grade Vinyl Seats

One of the questions we received was about the quality of the marine-grade vinyl seats. We found that these seats were comfortable and offered good cushioning, making the ride smoother. The material also felt nice to the touch, adding a touch of luxury to the cabin.

Removability of the Everglades Graphic

Another question we received was whether the Everglades graphic on the vehicle is removable. The answer is yes, it is just a decal. However, removing the decal may leave behind adhesive residue on the fender, which could be challenging to clean.

Comparison of Premium vs Regular Gasoline

Some readers were curious about the performance difference between premium and regular gasoline in the Bronco Everglades. However, in the area where we tested the vehicle, the mid-grade fuel available was 87 octane, which is the minimum recommended by Ford for the 2.3-liter engine. The difference in performance between premium and regular gasoline was minimal, making it unnecessary to conduct a specific test.

Fuel Economy

According to Ford, the Bronco Everglades has an estimated fuel economy of 18 mpg in the city and 17 mpg on the highway, with a combined score of 18 mpg. During our test drive, we achieved an average fuel economy of 17.3 mpg in mixed driving conditions, including mountainous terrain. This performance was on par with expectations for a vehicle of this type.

Window Drop Feature

One reader asked about the window drop feature when entering or exiting the vehicle. While some may find it annoying, we felt that it added to the rugged character of the Bronco Everglades. The noticeable window drop is a result of the frameless doors on the SUV and contributes to its unique appeal.

Water Wading Depth

The Bronco Everglades is designed to handle water crossings. Ford states that it can wade through water up to 36.4 inches deep. While we couldn’t test this feature during our time in Colorado, it surpasses the capabilities of other off-road vehicles like the Bronco Raptor and Jeep Wrangler.
