Why do Bronco owners drive so slow?

[stickshifthappy]

Simple they have the aerodynamics of a brick..... Head winds, and side winds are a bee-otch !!!!

One word:

Autobahn.

Americans drivers training is almost nonexistence compared to Europe's.

Is the Autobahn safer than US highways?


SCHMITZ: According to road accident statistics from last year, 34 people per million Germans died in car accidents, but only 5% of those accidents occurred on the autobahn. Germany's fatal car accident rate is among the lowest in Europe and is more than three times as low as the rate in the United States

Just you and your Bronco enjoying The Slow Ride - W-H-O-O- A - SLOW DOWN BRONCO!

I used to daily a sport bike for about 6 years. Doing so shook the need for speed out of me. Also, a bronco is not fast or nimble so why mash the throttle?

my previous daily drivers we sports cars and I didn’t drive those fast either.

lol. Funny you should ask. I have noticed I drive considerably slower in my Bronco. I’ve always been a bit of a lead foot. Always in a hurry to get somewhere. I’ve got a pile of speeding tickets over the years to prove it. But either I’ve crossed some invisible line into old age, or there’s just something pleasant about putting along in my Bronco. It’s kind of my happy place, and when I drive it, I don’t really care to hurry. That and my gas mileage is notably improved if I stay at or a little above the speed limit.

I hit 40 this year, two months after accepting my Bronco, and I have had it over 75, maybe 3 or 4 times. I prefer enjoying the drive, and then I have on the trails kicked up my fair share of dust, but perhaps it's the invisible line, I think, or it's the first car in a long time I want to last forever.

It ain’t just me, although different transmissions

No driving 20 under the rest of traffic is what is dangerous. Keep up with traffic. Or stay off the freeway.

Seems like I'm always zooming past Bronco's out here in Cali. On the freeway, Bronco's are usually in the slow lane, or in the middle lane driving below the speed limit. On the street, it seems like they're all in Eco mode, just trailing behind everyone. If I didn't own one, I'd think they were underpowered and slow.

This isn't me driving fast either. Between the freeway and street, I'm usually at 65-75/35-45.

I always have my 2 Huskies in the car with me. They're precious cargo and more important than humans. Also, people in Colorado are horrible drivers. I also enjoy driving, and like to take my time since I leave at a reasonable hour, am never late, and am never in a rush. I get a middle finger every day.

Exactly.

unless your hairs blue and you cant see over the wheel, no reason to drive 20 under, and if you are an old blue hair, dont drive at all. Those arent speed bumps you’re hitting mildred

No matter what it is, Im prepared to see them before they get me

That was probably the oddest thing about my time living in Colorado, all the people driving around with dogs. The thing about dogs being more important than humans, I knew more than a few people there who felt that way, it was a mess of human/dog co-dependency, lol.
