Since I got my Bronco, I noticed that a number of Bronco owners give me thumbs up or beep when we meet on the road. Is there some kind of Bronco salute going on?

I always give another Bronco the finger... not the middle finger, just a raised index finger. However, it seems most of the other Broncos are driven by soccer mom mall crawlers oblivious to the world around them and probably on their phone.

I always acknowledge other big Broncos, even if they're the 5th gens. Sometimes with the horn, sometimes I flash my pod lights or brights. Most people wouldn't have a Bronco unless they loved Broncos and I think it's just a nice little interaction in a sea of anger and frustration.

My wife waves at every single Bronco of any type. She just really likes Broncos

I will wave if I see a rig that is obvious someone put a lot of time and effort into - even if it’s not a Bronco, and even if I don’t personally care for what they did

I usually do the ol' 'lift a few fingers from the steering wheel and head nod', which if I understand correctly is similar to 'The Jeep Wave'.

I tend to keep my eyes on the road, too many distracted drivers out there already...

I've had a few Jeeps flip me off. Reminds me of when I had my Mitsubishi Evo....every kid in a WRX would flip me off. The Evo was tuned to the hilt and more often than not I'd swing a u-turn and blow their doors off, flipping them off as I passed. Childish - yes. Enjoyed - absolutely!

Coming from the Jeep world, back in the late 90s when I had my 97 TJ 90% of other jeeps waved. Now it's probably 9% since everyone and their grandma has one. I see almost just as many Broncos now, so I just assume it's the same crowd that didn't get the 'acknowledge others memo', so I don't bother either.

In Texas, mostly out in the country, many people raise a couple fingers off the wheel at each other because they possibly know each other and could be neighbors. I do an acknowledgment of some sort when I meet a Bronco on the road. No flashing lights or beeping the horn though. When I’m in the Excursion if I see a nice one with a lift, etc., I will give a little wave to them also. I do pretty much the same thing in the Mustang to another Mustang that’s fixed up. It’s just admiration for someone with the same interest. If I see a cool hot rod on the road I will give them a thumbs up.
