A Californian woman recently experienced a dose of reality when she filled up her Ford Bronco. Taking to social media, the woman expressed her surprise and slight shock at the cost of a full tank of gas. The incident highlights the rising cost of maintaining larger vehicles, especially as gas prices fluctuate.
While the exact price wasn’t disclosed, the woman’s reaction implied a hefty sum. Some social media users even joked about the cost of a full tank. One user, @kylieraeirwin, shared the video to TikTok and jokingly estimated the cost to be $30,000.
The 2025 Ford Bronco boasts a fuel tank capacity of approximately 16.9 gallons. Depending on the current gas prices and the specific model year, filling up the tank can result in a substantial bill.
The Ford Bronco is known for more than just its fuel consumption. Key features include off-roading capabilities, such as ‘Trail Control’ and ‘Trail Turn Assist,’ and it has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. As electric vehicles (EVs) become more mainstream, some drivers are opting to switch to save on fuel costs. One motorist reported saving $1,800 in just six months by switching to an EV.
The Ford Bronco is undoubtedly a desirable vehicle. Nonetheless, the price of fuel makes it a less-than-ideal daily driver for those aiming to save a few dollars.
