When it comes to choosing an adventure SUV, Auburn drivers typically narrow it down to two options: the Chevy Trailblazer and the Ford Bronco. Both of these vehicles offer impressive off-road performance and a wide range of trim levels to meet your needs. However, they cater to different lifestyles and preferences. Compare the Trailblazer vs. Bronco in our guide below to find your match, then schedule a test drive at our dealership in Auburn.

N/A for the 2025 Ford Bronco at the time of writing,
but mpg figures are projected to be very similar to
those of the 2024 Ford Bronco.
Although the 2025 Bronco offers more trims and engine options than the 2025 Trailblazer, the Ford Bronco also commands a significantly higher MSRP. The 2025 Chevy Trailblazer ranges from $23,100 to $27,700, while the 2025 Bronco starts at $37,995 for the base model and ends at an eye-watering $90,035 MSRP for the top-of-the-line Raptor® trim. Given that the top of the Trailblazer lineup has a more approachable MSRP than the entry point to the Bronco lineup, the Chevy is the clear winner in this area of the Trailblazer vs. Bronco comparison.
The 2025 Trailblazer offers excellent fuel efficiency, with some models like the ACTIV and RS achieving up to 31 combined mpg when configured as FWD vehicles. Combined with a 13.2-gallon fuel tank, this enables the 2025 Trailblazer to travel up to an EPA-estimated 409 miles on a single fill-up.
The Ford Bronco is likely far less fuel-efficient, though conclusive 2025 mpg figures have yet to be released by the OEM or the EPA. However, given that the latest iteration of the Bronco has essentially the same engine options as its model-year predecessor, we can tentatively suggest that a 2025 Ford Bronco may deliver up to:
Both sets of mpg figures are given for 4WD and have been sourced from the EPA. By comparison, the 2025 Chevy Trailblazer is expected to deliver at least 26 city/29 highway /27 combined mpg when configured as a 4WD SUV, which should make long-distance drives to and from Maple Valley a breeze.
Finally, given that the Trailblazer is more compact than the relatively sizable Bronco, the Trailblazer vs. Bronco matchup winner for maneuverability goes to the Trailblazer. For example, the Bronco has a maximum width of nearly 87 inches, around 16 inches wider than the Chevy Trailblazer, which measures 71.2 inches across without the mirrors extended. This makes the Trailblazer better suited for driving and navigating numerous conditions than the Bronco, from tight urban corridors in Covington to congested highways and complex construction zones.
