Block off your schedule –– It’s time to remind off-roaders there’s another iconic 4x4 vehicle capable of taking on the trails!

Ford is attending Easter Jeep Safari 2025, which runs April 12-20. Come out and see the motor company's booth, check out what's on display from Ford as well as dozens of other vendors, and drive a Bronco Off-Roadeo vehicle on the private course Ford is creating.

In addition, Bronco Nation will be hosting a half-day drive just for members as well as a meetup. We'll be announcing day, time, and additional details as soon as we have them.

The Plans!
  • Ford booth at the Vendor Expo
  • Private off-roading course with Bronco Off-Roadeo guides
  • Bronco Nation member meetup + drive
  • Bring your friends!

For now: Express your interest in attending. All activities are complimentary.

That's a terrible idea, when do we start?

I think that this is a great idea. I know a lot of folks who think that ESJ is ONLY for Jeep owners. I think that Ford having an actual presence there would make Bronco owners more comfortable attending EJS.

Agreed -- it's a great event for all! I've enjoyed the two years I've gone.

And it's possible to stay away from crowded trails too, since Red Rock 4-Wheelers publishes the trails the event will be using.

Oh cool!! Unexpected, but glad to see, especially since the Bronco Safari permit wasn't approved last year.

Wonder what the chances are I can convince my family to spend four days of their spring break in a car traveling to Utah so I can go hand out with a bunch of offroading nerds. 😁

I haven't been in a LONG time, how busy does it get in town though?

We'll be there 2 weeks prior so plenty of time for you to go home, regroup and head back.😁

My one and only trip to Moab was in the 90's when I had a Jeep and attended a Jeep Safari.. It might have been called a Jeep Jamboree back then, can't remember..

I can't make it this year as my son is currently in Bali, Indonesia and I need to pick him up from the airport when he returns on April 14th..

Looking forward to live reports and / or some aftermath trip reports!

So, we’re party crashers now? Sounds like fun. Let’s do it! 🤪
Chris here. I drive a 2-door Velocity Blue 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with Sasquatch, Lux, a 2.7L V6, and an automatic transmission. It’s fun.

I went in 2022 and 2024. In 2022, it felt busy, but not overwhelming, and in 2024, I stayed at Bronco Off-Roadeo, which is about 30 minutes from town, so that didn't feel bad at all. (In 2023, Bronco Nation attended Moab Bronco Safari instead of EJS).

For all the Bronco Basecamps, we've stayed off the EJS trails as much as we can, and we didn't run into many other groups.

I imagine town is the worst for the residents trying to go about their routines like normal. Coffee shop lines and things like that do require people to be patient, and I hope we are all being polite, gracious visitors when we swarm their home!

Valid reason! Safe returns to him!

Back to back Moab trips. 🤔

I think my wife would divorce me if I went back to Moab a week after I got back from there.

I might try to talk my wife into going down for this, but it will be tight with our work travel schedule. Would be my first event with my Bronco, and I’d love to help rep Bronco’s there!

We will try to attend. Even though we're retired, I started a small farm. Would have to ensure the critters were good.

Basecamp at EJS '22 was so awesome! It was a fantastic trip, all-around!
