D. Both A & B are correct answers.

I usually just say thank you. A compliment is a compliment!

If they start asking questions about it I make sure to fit the word BRONCO in there somewhere, lol!

E. A,B, & C...

It’s a compliment, accept it graciously. Lots of folks don’t know about Broncos believe it not.

Yep, but if you can't do that you can always fill out & file one of these

Remember that Jeep came from “GP” or general purpose vehicle which is now known as an SUV. My boss call’s my Sport a Jeep! No big deal, it’s better than calling it a Prius.

Grab them by the back of the neck and push their face up to the grill and yell “ read it“! Just kidding

Actually, people calling my Bronco an SUV bugs me more then the clueless calling it a jeep.

Technically they are correct. It is an SUV.

But in my mind a Ford Expedition is an SUV. As is a Cadillac Escalade. A Porsche Cayenne. Etc. They are big. They're refined. People go to buy groceries in them or to take their kids to soccer practice. They glide down the interstate with enough horse power to pull a whale over a redwood.

My 2dr Sasquatch is a BRONCO! Damn it! Not a status symbol SUV. (I'll fill out the sensitivity report later.)

I didn't know the history behind the term "jeep." That's interesting. Maybe calling it a jeep isn't that far off, historically speaking.

I just say thanks. Even if they say nice truck, car, vehicle, automobile, SUV, etc. I’m smart enough to figure out what they mean.

It's actually G for government (contract) and P was Ford's designation for an 80" wheelbase. I have a 41 Ford GP. They lost the contract to Willys and had to make the Ford GPW the copy of the Willys MB.

Also have heard the word "Jeep" came from Popeye's cartoon dog named Jeep that could climb anything.

Apparently Jeep is the Xerox/ q-tip/ Kleenex/ post-it/ Velcro of the 4 x 4 world.

I know there’s several opinions out there about that. I’ll stick with my fathers rendition since he was a “GP” driver after the fighting in WWII stopped. Prior to that he drove a tank under Patton until May of 45. His division then helped liberate Czechoslovakia and he ferried higher ranking officers between there and Paris until early 46. He always referred to them as GP’s or general purpose as that’s what they used the for.

I’ve seen the stories regarding the Popeye version as well.
