Bronco Nation exists to make owning a Bronco easier and more enjoyable. Part of that mission includes bringing the community together in person and online. And to do that that better, we needed a new Bronco Nation website.

On Monday morning, you’ll be able to see what our team has been working on for many months: a new version of theBroncoNation.com.

While the look of the site will be slightly different, the features you like will be staying –– and we’re even adding some new ones. What you see next week will be the start of even more to come.

You’re going to experience:
  • A better Member Map, our members-only feature that shows you Bronco communities, trails, campsites, and more all over the country.
  • An easier Events page. We’ve simplified down the steps and added a regional search. You’ll spend less time finding events to attend and creating your own.
  • A much friendlier mobile visit. The majority of you use Bronco Nation on your phone, and we’ve set up the site to be easier to browse and navigate. One thing to note: The Bronco Nation app will be ending. App users, we’d like to welcome you to the site. We’ve kept you in mind since the beginning of this process and went with a mobile-first setup.
  • Better search function across the forums and news articles. We know it hasn’t been great. Now you’ll have an easier time finding information you need.
  • A member dashboard of all your benefits. You’re going to have an easier time finding your member number, seeing what’s available with your membership, and locating partner codes.
We’ll Help You Through the Changes

While plenty of the changes are behind-the-scenes performance or in appearance-only, there are going to be some differences, especially surrounding your individual habits and patterns on BN. These may take getting used to.

Ask us any questions. Give us feedback because we will be doing continued improvements. Tag us here in the forums –– @Laura, @MattR, @London, and @jparker. Your team at Bronco Nation is here to help. This includes our moderators @SlashRacer, @Deano Bronc, and @TK1215, who deserve a special callout and round of applause for helping us get this site shaped up. Mike, Dean, and Tim have dedicated hours upon hours on the new site and with us on the phone, and their work was vital to making this as seamless as an experience for you as possible. Another massive thanks goes to our support teammates of Chris and Nick; we couldn't have done the tech or stayed on track without them.

Things to Note
  • Forum pause: Right now, we are on track to launch the site on Monday morning. This means the forums will pause at 5 p.m. ET this Friday. You can search for answers and read all you want, but you won't be able to post new threads or reply. We'll be posting a top banner across the forums soon to remind you. All our social sites will be up and running, so if you need a question answered, ask us on Facebook or Instagram.
  • Login: When you come back to Bronco Nation on Monday, you will need to log in again. If you know your password or have it saved on your device, this should be simple. If you need to reset it, we've tested the reset button, and it works. If you have any trouble, contact us at [email protected].
  • Having issues? If you find bugs or are having any issues at all, drop them here or DM me or @MattR. I will be showing off where some of the new features and adjustments are early Monday morning in this thread.
  • Reminder: The Bronco Nation app will be ending. We're still finding out if that's going to be a hard stop or if it will just stop updating. I'll let you know once we know.
We love our community here and can’t wait to make it even easier for all of us to connect around the vehicle we’re passionate about!

Makes me nervous when a name like this pops up on here..... 😬
Ha! I was playing around with the forum trying to see if an issue with screen resolution was my device or if affected all devices. I still haven’t been able to determine the exact cause so I can properly document it for @Laura.

Well said, @TechnicalDisaster. I agree completely. The staff pours a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into their work and it shows. They deserve the benefit of the doubt. With growth, growing pains are inevitable. The community continues to flourish, despite a few bumps in the road!

Small thing, but the time stamps are a really bad combination of standard time and military time. The post ^ is today at 0733 pm. Please go with one or the other. The 0 is driving me nuts because it's actually 1933. 07:33 was this morning...
This change has been suggested. I'll confirm that it's added to the roadmap.

When I click over to the "Shop Gear" part, the site seems to log me out and will not let me log back in. I enter my information, but the site doesn't seem to recognize it. Logging into the forums works fine, but when I go over to Shopping - no bueno. Can't log in, can't get the member discount.
Could that be related to the new site somehow?
This scenario was the same on the old site as well. There is a separate gear store account that must be created to receive a 10% member discount and manage your orders and subscriptions. Just make sure your gear store account is under the same email you used to purchase a membership. Once this account is created, it should keep you logged in when navigating to and from the store. Details can be found here.

The Bronco Nation Team is way more than just this forum. They work their a$$es off behind the scenes scheduling, organizing, and managing events, traveling all over the country, writing articles, sourcing merchandise, hunting down information, setting up and running campsites, and doing everything they can to make people feel heard and welcome. You should attend one of their events so you can see just how hard working, humble, and gracious they are.
Other forums might be running a little smoother and have different information, but I’m 100% certain none of their admins have ever brought you coffee or made you pancakes on a frosty Colorado morning.
The technical issues are temporary, but the community building is not. I hope you change your mind.
Sorry but hard work - though admirable - is not worth paying for unless it provides value. This transition is not a value proposition and I’ll be canceling as well. Too much easily accessible info on easy to use platforms elsewhere. I’m not here for coffee…

No. Stop. Don't go.

Well, I tried. 😝

@Laura @MattR new petty thing, today I was trying to help someone with train tracking info and I did a search for CSX and it came back with nothing found when I posted with it yesterday…. I even went to the thread where I posted it and it didn’t find it. Other searches have worked this one just didn’t. Odd.

Well that sucks, these guys are killing it. I will say I’m not a member at 6G but the few times the google machine has taken me there I can’t stand the layout and the way the ads are embedded throughout the posts. I pray to God that doesn’t happen here. I don‘t know where else a better community will be found for Bronco support. This site is definitely worth paying for! I have come to hang out here more than FB (ya I’m kinda addicted). If you can’t handle website growth and improvement best of luck to you.

For the most part, the forum continues to work pretty well for me. I posted our first MI Bronco Club event since the new format and I would say overall, it’s a bit better form a user interface perspective. I will also agree that once you go to an event and meet the people that work for/with Bronco Nation, that they are good people, wanting to make the forum and Bronco ownership better. By the way, I am an admin on our clubs B6G site and I have asked 20 times to correct and actually give me admin acces and never got even a response. Nothing and no one is perfect, I am just glad we have a choice and a group that listens and works to improve the experience.

I know, and you make a good point. Everyone should be made to feel welcome, even if they put out vibes they don't want to belong. However, in war cowards flee when things get rough. I don't care much for deserters; I want to stay and fight and try to make things better. I'm going to root in and focus on whatever good there is, and support the people who are actively engaged in building a community. I see tons of raw potential here. It's easy to be cynical and demoralizing when you have no vested interest in the common good. It's just plain selfish. It lacks creativity and I have no interest in attending that pity party.

My post didn’t disappear, just the search failed to find CSX that’s all.

Is it me and my computer, or is the page rewriting whenever a post is Liked? not a huge deal breaker, but it's very distracting.
