Comments you received about your Bronco

[Squatch]

Mostly, I get:

• Was that really necessary?
• Did you need to honk at that old lady?
• Don't drive over the [median, curb, sidewalk, cyclists, etc.]
• Nobody was racing you!

“I love your Bronco! It’s so much better than those stubby 2-door Broncos!”

The voices in your head don't count.

Mostly just “nice bronco” or a thumbs up…but at the last “event I was at a lady came over told me my bronco was “famous“…I had no idea…but I am still doing “stupid“ stuff..

Meh, I think the Bronco hype is over as it is just a commodity vehicle at this point. Of the handful of people that I've told I got a new Bronco, their reaction was "oh." Generally followed by, "did you look at" or "I like" the new Land Cruiser or GX. And one of those guys owns a uncut '72! (he's a bit bitter at Ford now due to so many issues with his F250)

I'd be very surprised if anyone ever came up to me and said anything about it. Now my built Power Wagon still elicits comments every so often as does the LX. If you narrow down even more, most of the comments come in the form of questions about the snorkels and where I use them in AZ. I don't go down the IAT rabbit hole, so I just say it helps with dust, which they don't.

I get lots of "I love your bronco" comments, thumbs up, and waves.

Always for the '72 though. Theres so many 6g broncos out there the new one seldom draws attention.

Can only imagine if I was a hard-core 'overlander' acolyte, and rolled up in my gray 6-door... oh, the attention I'd get.

My son and I were at a Packers Vikings football game a few weeks ago tailgating in my Braptor and had a guy ask me when did jeep start making vehicles like that. I told him it was a bronco raptor and he had to go to the back of the vehicle to verify what I was telling him. I guess he didn’t believe me. Go packers.

"How do you like your Bronco"?

"It's on the third top and needs another."

"Oh."

Jokes aside, I usually get two common comments, each depending on the top. With the soft top and in safari mode (especially in the spring and fall), I get "that sure likes a lot of fun", and when in hard top mode, I get comments on the color (green).

When they look inside of it though, they notice the wood amazon pieces I installed along the center area/hvac/handles and comment "it's nicer in here than I thought it would be, love the wood." I have the roast color interior that plays well with the fake wood.

But what I really love the most, is when the comments come from someone who is driving another nice car. I've had comments from a few Porsche owners, and I love Porsche, some nice BMW's and MB's, etc. Not because the Bronco is in those categories of those vehicles' strengths, but because the Bronco is a one-of-a-kind vehicle in general. Especially when in safari mode / soft top and the weather is perfect for a convertible day.

I also get several kids who like it, which makes me smile. Especially little boys riding with the parents. I know that little kid myself. Told one dad who was asking me about it with his 10 year old son that it's a real-life Tonka toy, and he instantly knew exactly what I was talking about.

Some recognize the meaning behind the Callahan sticker and laugh. Others tend to ask if Callahan is some type of version of the Bronco. To them, I point out the Tommy Boy reference and that life's too short to not have a good laugh.

"Love the color"(velocity blue) and "you seem to change cars like toilet paper", "love it" then looks and smiles from 3 to 93 yr olds, just like S550 Mustang convertible.

“I love your Bronco! It’s so much better than those stubby 2-door Broncos!”

Aww, come on. You just made that up...

 

[UncleBrad]

I've gotten a lot of unsolicited comments from people that I run in to. One memorable one was at a rest park enroute to the Bronco Off-Roadeo eastern Tennessee (pic below). A super nice guy in well-worn F-250 work truck said he loved the new Bronco, and really wanted one He said that just before I arrived, an attractive blonde just drove off in one. We both said at the same time: "mating call".

Most asked question, " How many recalls do YOU have?"

 

[Varska]

I like your Bronco!
Followed up with:
Is it noisy?
What size engine?
Can you store the roof panels in back?
How much was it?

 

[MayhemMike]

Majority of comments are due to my owning a two door. The comments are always positive.

 

[jrollo7]

Only have had older guys who use to have a gen 1 or 2 and asked how I like it and let them hop in a show them around. I’m just waiting for the cute girls to come up tho

 

[J-Lugster]

That's hilarious. My Bronco has been referred more to as a Jeep than a Bronco.
