What kind of gas does the Bronco Sasquatch take?
The Bronco Sasquatch uses regular unleaded gasoline (87 octane) as standard; diesel or premium fuel is not required.
The Sasquatch is Ford’s off-road-focused package for the Bronco, offered with two EcoBoost gasoline engines. This article explains the fuel type, octane guidance, and practical fueling notes for Sasquatch models as of the latest model years.
Fuel type and octane requirements
The Sasquatch package itself does not alter the Bronco’s fuel type; it remains a gasoline-powered SUV. Ford’s guidance for the available engines—2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4 and 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6—is to use regular unleaded gasoline with a minimum octane rating of 87. Higher-octane fuel is optional and may be used at the owner's discretion, potentially offering marginal gains in certain driving conditions.
Engines offered with the Sasquatch package
Before detailing the engines, note that the Sasquatch package is designed to work with two gasoline engines. The list below confirms the engine options and their fuel type.
- 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4 (gasoline)
- 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 (gasoline)
Conclusion: Regardless of which engine you choose within the Sasquatch lineup, regular gasoline (87 octane) is the standard recommendation. Premium fuel is not required but is optional for drivers who want to experiment with higher-octane fuel under certain conditions.
Other fueling considerations
Fuel quality, ethanol content, and regional availability can influence performance and maintenance. The Bronco’s owner manual advises using the appropriate octane for your engine and climate, and to follow local fueling guidelines to protect warranty coverage.
Bottom line: The Bronco Sasquatch takes regular unleaded gasoline (87 octane) by default. The two available engine options are gasoline-powered EcoBoosts, with premium fuel optional rather than required. Always consult the model year’s manual for the most precise guidance.
Summary: The Sasquatch edition of the Ford Bronco runs on regular gasoline (87 octane). Engine options for this package are both gasoline-powered (2.3L EcoBoost I4 and 2.7L EcoBoost V6), and regular fuel is typically sufficient, with premium fuel being optional depending on driving needs.
