I am not new to Broncos or the Bronco Nation. I currently own a 2023 Area 51, four-door, Wildtrak that I bought back in December of 2022. I previously owned a 2013 four-door Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited that I had done a number of modifications to…I’ve got to say it was an awesome vehicle but after a number of combat deployments it became a little too rough of a ride for me to be a daily driver. My daughter always wanted it, so I decided to trade her for her Hyundai Kona (what was I thinking?) Well fast forward and my Bronco finally came in and I had to sell the Jeep to help pay for the Bronco and broke my daughter’s heart. So she got her Kona back. Two weeks ago, she got hit by another driver in a major intersection which totaled her Kona. Thank goodness she was able to walk away with minor injuries. My wife and I were helping her look for a new vehicle and were able to find an amazing deal on an A 51, Big Bend Bronco Sport and decided we are going to surprise her with it! What are some must have items for Bronco Sports? Lift kit, upgraded tires, ditch lights? Cell phone holder? Anything? I do know that I will get her a membership with Bronco Nation and get her active in the community. Her Bronco Sport will predominantly be a daily driver…but she loves four-wheel drive vehicles and will at some point bring it off-roading in North Carolina both in the mountains and on the beach. Looking forward to seeing all the recommendations from the Nation!

My wife was absolutely thrilled when I bought her the rubber floor mat ,
Especially the rear cargo area.
She loves how it protects carpet and easy cleaning.

I'm so glad she was mostly ok! The Bronco Sport will be a great surprise, and I know it will give all of you peace of mind with the safety ratings, though I hope she never needs them again. You might want to show her Joseph's Big Bend once you bring it home; it might inspire her.

So glad to hear she wasn't hurt badly in the accident!! I'm sure she will love her Bronco Sport! If she is going off-road she may want some good floor mats as well as a pressure washer. A lift and better tires may go a long way to get her where she wants to go. Make sure to introduce her to us when she joins! And we love pictures!

NavP, glad to hear she's alright and her injuries were only minor. I'm sure she's a very happy camper with the Big Bend Bronco Sport, congrats! You mentioned a phone holder so I thought I'd send a picture of what I did to my Badlands center console. I found this on Amazon and I had to have it for running dual mapping when off/on road adventures.

I use apple car play since I opted not to have the factory maps as part of the entertainment system this time. I find with my phone maps are more up-to-date and I also like using onXmaps for my off road adventures.
