When it comes to either driving off road or talking smack to a "Non-Sport" Bronco owner, just remember

You have to admit, “non-sport” is pretty funny. Can’t wait to compliment someone on their non-sport. Would that be worse than telling them I like their Jeep?

WTF is a “Non-Sport” Bronco?
I am glad I am not the only one who read that and was like: WTF

In my 3 year tenure here at 6g that was the he first time I have ever heard that term. And it should be the last. Or, maybe that is what they are teaching over at BN these days?

Also, Ford calls them Trail Sights, the theory being they help you place your tires when offroad.

Also, they look cool and add to the retro vibe thing.
How do they add to the retro vibe? Earlier generations didn't have them

I have a '61 Galaxie and am always reminded of it when I look out over the Bronco hood at the trail sights.

(Neither of these are of my car, just showing why)

Excellent response. So retro in general , but not retro Bronco. I removed mine because I thought they detracted from my first generation Bronco theme. Thanks!

You know what the Broncos and that Escape based Bronco Sport have in common?

Six Letters and even those aren’t interchangeable between the B6G and the BS
More like the Non-Bronco - Sport , lol.

The fenders were taller than the hood . Ford just made them functional on the 6G .If you can't see the similarity then we can't help you ,LOL.

The fenders are taller than the hood on the 6th generation too. I think it looks more 1st generation without them. I agree, they can be functional, but it doesn't help the looks imo.

Bronco sport, blah, not real Bronco, blah, escape based, blah. We know. The subject is like Bronco wind noise, slightly irritating and always there.

Back to trail sights. I was very skeptical at reveal time about the trail sights and couldn't wait for someone to develop a delete option . . . until someone developed a delete option. I'm not a fan, per se, but feel like something is missing when they're gone. 🤔

This all the way. Often when lashing things to the top of my other vehicles, I'm having to look around or crawl under, to find places to fix ropes. These hood mounts will be welcome.

The are cool-looking as others have said, there's no need to remove mine.
I like them myself but to each their own.

Some folks have done color inserts for their Broncos to suit their style

I chalk it up to our precious Right to LLPOH

Sorry for teasing you but your "Non-Sport Bronco" Bronco is a definitely a B6G classic line
