I was finally asked the stupidest question.

[THE_SAVSQCH]

I was filling up the BBR with gasoline, and this Tacoma on other side of pump asked me the stupidest question ……… “Hey man, what kind of Jeep is that?”

I just stared before calmly replying “The one made by Ford….”

Response was “cool about time Ford starting making Jeeps.”

I wasn’t sure what to say. I know not everyone are car enthusiasts but I wasn’t sure if he was kidding or not.

I think our society is becoming stupider by the generation lol.

While we were in Colorado last summer, my wife bought a shirt in Silverton that says “Why do they call it Jeeping?” with a picture of a 1st gen Bronco on it.

That goes perfect with what I was asked. He literally said back “about time Ford made a Jeep”

lol I almost asked him if he was serious but he was serious lol

I never knew Jeeps were like Kleenex or QTips lol but apparently they are.

The sad part is that you just cannot make this stuff up!

To be totally fair... I'm in Northern Kentucky and where I'm from we call most SUV's trucks. Even when I had my Bronco Sport I called it a truck just out of habit. Could just be a nomenclature thing from someone who doesn't know vehicles that well.

Yeah, jeep/jeeping (lowercase) to some is like saying Coke in the south. You go a lot of places outside the south, they'll argue with you if you say "I'd like a coke, can I get a Dr. Pepper". A jeep is just a specific 4x4/off road vehicle to some people.

this Tacoma on other side of pump asked me the stupidest question ……… “Hey man, what kind of Jeep is that?”

Also, why were you talking to a Tacoma? Do those talk now??

I don't understand. My bronco is literally named "the jeep."

Nomenclature versus brand.

Kleenex. Xerox. He's using it as a generic description that everyone knows, as opposed to a specific brand.

Don't be offended. He's just engaging in conversation.

I've heard "truck" be used for vans as well. No big deal.

You should've seen the ripping I got on the Bronco Sport forum when I called it a truck. You would've thought I dropped a racial slur by the reaction. lol
