Is your Bronco your first Ford?

[Scott R Nelson]

I currently own three Fords, and had a couple of others in the past as well. I claim that I'm not brand loyal, since each Ford purchase was strictly on the merits of the vehicle at the time. I came close to buying a Subaru Outback when I bought my Escape, but my wife didn't like driving the Subaru, and it was to be her car, so we went with Ford. There are a few brands that I would not buy, though.

I’ve always bought a Ford when their product is the best in the segment I’m buying in:

SVT Focus:

Ranger FX4 Level II:

This is a completely random question just to mix things up a bit. How many of you are first time Ford owners due to your Bronco?

Worked for Chevrolet Parts for 45 years, but......
First Ford was 72 Maverick Grabber 302 manual trans (wish I still had it), also
72 Mustang Fastback 351
67 Mustang Fastback 289 4 speed (my favorite)
70 Maverick 6 cylinder beater
2002 Focus
2005 Escape
Years with Chevy and now back to the Bronco

She wasn't wrong. Not at all.

13 Fords since 1980. Okay, some of them were Mercurys and Lincoln’s, but still Fords.

Plus one Mazda, one Nissan, one Ram, and one Jeep.

First Ford was a new early 60s Falcon. Should have learned a lesson from it! But didn’t and bought a new Cougar later because I liked the styling. Probably the worst POS I ever owned. Convinced me to switch to rice burners for daily driving ever since. Bought a Rubicon the first year they came out because there was nothing else that could do what it did. It has been an excellent machine. Jeep failed to keep up with tech so I got a Badlands (1.5 year wait and Ford tricked me out of Sasquatch and Lux after the first year of waiting) Jury is still out on the Bronco……strange non-repeatable electrical problems in the first month. Does strange quirky things occasionally. Latest was trying to burn up my brakes while in the (undocumented, learned about it at the Las Vegas OffRodeo) Hill Descent Mode. I really hate the nanny features-I know what I’m doing despite the opinion of Ford lawyers. However, ignoring its quirks, it usually does well on the trail and has some redeeming features.

It's my first Ford! Well since my 2012 Mustang, which came after my '93 Bronco, preceded by my '92 Bronco, before that had an '84 Bronco... and finally my 1st ever car.... 1978 Pontiac Catalina Safari Station Wagon So I guess I was wrong.. not my 1st Ford, though it is my 1st POS turbo engine

First ford was a Bronco Sport, it was the only car Wifey was interested in?! I was sold on a wrangler, I mean - It Was Decided. But… I was so impressed with the baby bronco that I test drove a big bronco and never once looked back! It’s early, but so far an awesome experience!

First Ford for me. Back in 1990, my high school buddy got an early 70's-something Bronco with the 302, while I got a YJ Wrangler. He was always on the side of the road, but I always felt it was the best looking open top 4x4 out there. I always wanted to get one, but just never got around to commit to owning 2 vehicles. With the 6th Gen, I finally get a chance to get a modern machine that has a lot of the styling of the early Bronco...and able to have a second vehicle in case I end up on the side of the road often too lol.

No, first Ford was a 96 Explorer and I loved it. Had a 2" suspension lift and 33" tires. Looked awesome and drove great.

I am not brand loyal. Most of the vehicles I've owned throughout my life were Chevys because I had a good relationship with a dealer, and their cars were reliable. At one point, I had a 2000s Blazer Executive and a 2009 Tracker/Vitara, which opened my eyes to off-roading.

In 2014, I drove my childhood dream car, a Mustang, through multiple states in the US for three months with my wife. It’s the trip of our lives.
In 2018, we bought a Mustang, and loved every minute with it. But its value was decreasing FAST.
In 2020, we traded it for a Jeep JLUR, and had amazing adventures, delving deeper into off-roading, exploration, and overlanding. Although we didn’t miss having a sports car, we greatly missed the comfort and perfection of the Mustang's interior—even the chime reminding me to fasten my seatbelt! My wife and I used to hear it at random places and it was very reminiscent of all the good memories and trips we did in that vehicle.

so the first time I sat in my Bronco, I felt like I was back in my good old Mustang—like it was a Mustang on steroids—because I could do everything I was doing with the Jeep and still have the comfort and those memories from those two Mustangs . Nostalgia is a powerful thing haha

A dozen or more, Taurus (3), Escapes (2) f100/f150, Excursion, Freestyle, 1988 & 1996 Broncos. And two Scouts.

First Ford? Not even close. First new Ford? Again no. Last Ford? Maybe.
