they are the stock Black diamond wheels and OEM tires. 32” tires and I believe tge wheel width is 7 inches, not 7.5 but I could be wrong.

Steelies are 7.5", discount tire was willing to mount my 295/70R17 Milestar Patagonia M/Ts on them.

Yes, you must have missed it.
My 2- and 4-door 2.3L-powered SAS units (4.70 ratio) get 19 to 22 mpg.

I've got a 630 horsepower car that can do 0-62 in under 2.9 seconds and get 28mpg cruising on the highway. 19-22 isn't impressive in any context, except maybe to a Gen1 Bronco owner.

I myself am thrilled to get 19-to 22 mpg with my Broncos. Given weight and the aerodynamics of a brick, I'm very pleased with that fuel economy while enjoying award-winning looks inside and out, comfort and capability. Ford scored a 100 on the 10 scale.

Oh, I agree, for a Bronco, 19-22 is great. But for a vehicle in general, not so much. I also agree the Bronco is great at what it is. I waited 8 years for Jeep to turn the Wrangler into a Bronco*, then gave up and figured I would never have a vehicle like this until that magical July day.

*I was hoping for a larger Wrangler two-door (I would have settled for the four-door) with IFS, rack-and-pinion steering, and a good engine with competitive power output. Yes, I realize how silly that sounds, but I thought the Wrangler was going to be modernized under Mercedes ownership. I had no clue.
