Why do Jeep owners hate us??

[Ape Factory]

Actually had it happen to me recently for the first time. Jeep pulled up next to me, all tricked out in pink no less (hey if that's your thing you do you!) and then proceeded to absolutely gun it once the light turned green. I think her (their?) tires gave out a "micro chirp" as she/he/they/them left the line. Me, in the right hand lane, only wanted to make it across the intersection so I could turn into the Shell station and fill up. Because Raptor.

This is like Ford vs. Chevy, Dolphins fans vs. Jets fans (the Jets suck!), Catholics vs. Prodestants, dogs vs. cats. .We seem to be born for rivalries. I tend to be nice. I try to help them navigate traffic since they generally don't turn, accelerate (392 notwithstanding in the acceleration department) or handle well and need all the assistance they can get. Plus we're a blended family so maybe that's where my tolerance comes from.

Cuz nobody talks to them at the gas station anymore. We are like that new kid in high school that runs through all the girls when they get there.

I'm a bit unbiased, since I own both.

They didn't cut you off on purpose they just can't stay in their own lane. (My wife owns a 4 door wrangler lol)

DUDE! You just won the internet!

(as a Jeep owner I can attest: it's funny 'cause it's true)

This is a weird thread.... so why did I read the whole freaking thing??!

either read these things, or pay some bills. oh.

I believe most of the people who drive like angry Jeeps would drive the same in any car.

They hate everyone that doesn't have a Jeep, hate Broncos, hated us when i had my FJ cruiser... In there head they are the superior bread... Go figure.

Every time I'm cruising in my Bronco and spot a Jeep Wrangler, it turns into a showdown! They’re always trying to race me or cut me off—what's with the rivalry? Is it because we Bronco owners have more engine power and an unbeatable ride? It’s all in good fun, but I can’t help but laugh!

They're just jealous that we can remove our doors and still have side view mirrors.

Bronco

I have never had this happen. We went on a 10,000 mile camping trip out west. Went to Moab where Jeeps outnumbered Broncos by a lot. Met a lot of great Jeep owners. Looked over our Bronco and liked what they saw. Invited us on the trails, had a blast.

My husband has a Jeep and I traded a 2012 2dr Rubicon that could climb walls. We have owned Jeeps for decades and love them. We also love our Bronco. They are fun to drive just different. We went to the Outer Banks in the Jeep and it was great.

During first week or so of wife driving our new bronco (dec of '21) some smuck in a jeep driving the other way shoots her the finger. Low speed road, near town so likely someone local.
Of course shes thingking WTF did i do to deserve that ? Me and the rest of the family had a good laugh - told her its the first one the guy likely seen - but otherwise haven't really seen much stewpidity on jeepers behalf since then.
The occasional one even gives a thumbs up. Typically never see another Bronco owner do that so yes, the jeepers are a unique and well connected bunch lol..

f—what's with the rivalry?

Just jealous that the Ford doesn't have "death wobble".

This is an easy one. Jeep owners are outdoorsy type and chill. They wave to each other and "duck" each other. They are usually friendly and fun people. Bronco owners? Are you kidding? Go have a look at recent "waving" threads on this site and you know what I'm talking about. Bronco owners have a serious attitude and quick to insult. I'm a member of several forums in this series including Ranger and Maverick and this one is by far the worst. A better question to ask is why would Jeep onwers like Bronco owners? Nobody likes assholes.

As a Wrangler JK owner until I got my Bronco in November, I was admiring and desiring every Bronco that I saw.

During my Bronco ownership, I’ve never gotten a scowl, insult, or aggressive driving from a Wrangler. I still love em, but I love my Bronco more.

So we need to transition from another Jeep vs. Bronco thread to a MOAR DOOR thread, eh?

Hummm....reminds me of the old days and a friend that loved to go jeepin with me in my CJ5. One day after lots of beer and off road hill climbing in the jeep he started telling me he could male it to the top in his Ford Falcon three speed on the column. Well we got his Falcon and had such a great time beating his family car in the dirt and trying to climb that hill we even ran out of beer so we quit. I tell you I was amazed at what he managed to do with that sorta one wheel drive Falcon....But it was great fun. Today that area is a sea of upscale homes back then its reputation was Sasquatch country.
Whats my point?...Don't ask me i wuz just drinkin beer...
