Ford Bronco data analysis
How Ford Bronco fuel tank capacity varies
Across 6 configurations recorded for the 2021 through 2026 Ford Bronco, fuel tank capacity runs from 16.9 gallons to 16.9 gallons. The strongest figure belongs to the 2021 Ford Bronco (Standard) at 16.9 gallons, and the weakest to the 2026 car (Standard) at 16.9 gallons — a spread of 0%. The narrow spread means any year of the Ford Bronco in this table behaves much like the others, so you can shop on price, condition and mileage rather than chasing a particular model year.
What changed for 2026
Average fuel tank capacity for the 2026 Ford Bronco is 16.9 gallons, against 16.9 gallons for the 2025 car — it held flat. A carry-over year like this usually means no powertrain or structural change, so an older example is the cheaper way into the same specification.
How to read this Ford Bronco data
This page lists every 2021 through 2026 Ford Bronco record we hold for this measurement — 6 rows in total, one per configuration and model year rather than a single headline figure. Figures are published as the source agency records them: we do not round, average or interpolate missing years, and a year that is absent from the table is a year with no published measurement rather than a zero. Where a manufacturer offered several drivetrains or body styles in the same year, each appears on its own row, because those variants rarely share the same numbers.
Where these Ford Bronco figures come from
Every value on this page is loaded from federal open data — EPA fuel economy submissions, NHTSA vehicle and crash-test records, and manufacturer specification filings — rather than dealer listings or copied editorial content. The Ford Bronco record refreshes as the agencies publish, which typically means new model-year rows appear in the autumn and crash-test results follow through the model year as vehicles are tested. Because certification data is filed per configuration, treat any single headline number for this vehicle with caution: the figure that applies to a specific car depends on its engine, drivetrain, body style and model year, all of which are listed separately above. If a number here disagrees with a brochure, the brochure is usually quoting the best available configuration rather than the one being sold.
