Announced: Ford Guided Overland Adventure with Your Bronco for $4K & up

[Felix808]

That $500 for camping equipment is insane. I can get all that new and keep it for the same

But you will miss out getting crabs from a used sleeping bag

It's all about the experience & you can't put a price on that

Gotta tell my wife those car camping trips we took to Eagles Nest, Moab and Northern NV were actually worth $12K ...and she thinks I don't take her anywhere.

Updated the intro.
We've got get these excursions booked pronto before people come to their senses

New Mexico in August? Ford should be paying attendees.

They might just pay survivor benefits if you buy the insurance

So you've gone to every Off-Rodeo there is? Whatever will you do conquer next?
Well now you can take a guided adventure with Ford starting at $4K. You can't buy experiences like this. Well maybe you can if your pockets are deep enough

Lol. GTFOH. Also *just wait until sleeping bags are restrained items.

And I thought the 475 for my daughter to go along on the Offrodeo was high.

It is pretty rich to claim fostering Bronco community as one of the benefits. I guess there could be a sense of camaraderie knowing there are 10 like-minded suckers willing to pay $4k per person to sweat their a$$ off for 3 nights.

Makes me think the same is told to inmates by the warden during induction that the laundry room fosters community and camaraderie.

People have plenty of disposable income, don’t worry how they spend it.

I never worry. But I definitely judge, mock, and deride their choices.

You have me confused with someone else. Never jealous, either. I don't covet what others have.

Agreed. Not all of us are seasoned off-roaders/overlanders. I see it as a way for some people to get out of their comfort zone safely and grow confidence. It looks like much if not all of these trails are on private land and not accessible to the public. I might be wrong about that though. Bronco Offroadeo was well worth the money and I think this also will be for the customer it’s targeted towards. I’ve pissed away 4G’s for much less.

For comparison a 2 day guided elk hunting trip cost in Montana can cost over $5000. Would I pay that to be with an experienced guide on private land in grizzly territory with a chance at a trophy. Hell yeah!!.. some day

Has Ford confused Bronco owners as Porsche owners?

I know quite a few wealthy Bronco owners...

Offering the same experience in the North GA Mountains for $1500 for four nights. TENT INCLUDED. Sleeping bags will run you $300, pillows available upon request for $100.

Luxurious camping meals included consisting of BEANS and breakfast beers.

When we had an FJ Cruiser they used to have the FJ Summit get together every summer in Ouray. Organized by a group of fellow drivers. Cost as I recall was about $300 per driver. I think it was for 3 days. They provided dinner, brought in subject matter folks to teach things like off roading 101, winching, etc. Vendors provided prizes for the raffles. They set it up as a non-profit and gave the profit to the local stuff like the mountain rescue group and others. Basically the guys that ran it got to attend for free and it paid for their expenses. It filled up usually the 1st day registration opened. You brought your own rig, did your own thing on where to stay. You signed up for the runs that were led by someone who knew the trail. Was awesome.

So what Ford is telling me is that I’m doing my Bronco group thing wrong.

Basically I’m missing out on 15-25 g’s every trip I put on through the Rubicon, Mojave, local trails etc. heck I would have made a fortune on the Playa run.

Anyone wanna start a business?

It all depends where you're from, where you live and where you off-road. I could take someone up and down the Outer Banks or other East Coast beaches, teach sand driving skills and best practices for beach driving, safety, the shore ecosystem and be quite at home. I've been in that environment since I was a child. I could advise where to start and what to avoid. But if I went to Mojave, or the Rubicon, or Moab, I would have no idea where to start, or what it takes to be safe in those environments, so Ford is onto something, even if $4,000 is too much. I would need a guide if I went out West to wheel in some of those beautiful places. So maybe a side business would be worth it for you. Sometimes, a guided tour is the best way to start in a new place.
