I'm sure we're not the only ones who have done this.

A few weeks ago our friends from Tennessee stayed with us. They came in a conversation Ford Transit van that they built for travel on and off grid. So they came with a sense of adventure.
Because they were so exited to be out west (Arizona) we took them out into the desert in the bronco. All very easy trails. We explored back roads, mines and just the freedom.
I offered to let them drive and they declined.

We had shared some photos of our bronco adventure in Moab and just got the "like".

The day after they left I get the text, what model is your bronco?

Badlands with Sasquatch I reply. And nothing more about bronco's came up in our conversations.

Couple weeks go buy and we all travel down to Mexico and the #1 topic is them shopping for broncos.

So to add fuel to the fire I tell them about Bronco Nation and get them watching BN video. Now they are sharing bronco videos with us. They must not know we've seen them all.. duh.

Anyway... After another text yesterday, I bet there is a new bronco owner on the way very soon.

He is planning on flat towing behind the transit van.

The closest thing I have to a friend is a coworker who said he would be in the market for a Bronco if he won the lottery. He's tired of driving his Toyota Sienna minivan. He wants something with off-road capability, and he enjoys hearing about my excursions, infrequent as they may be.

No one inspired me to get a Bronco. I just thought it looked like it could be fun way to get around, and it might provide access to places I've never been. I guess we all become Bronco ambassadors to some extent over time. It's hard not too! 😉
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.

My buddy and I had grown apart for about 12 years when I started working 2 hours away and kids and all that. Well in early 22 they posted pictures of their new A51 Wildtrack on FB I never get on FB but the wife got on to look at something and saw the post. That was our way back into each other’s lives. It was actually his wife’s Bronco. And he surprised me with how much he hated the thing. He likes fast cars or 3/4 ton trucks. Well he calls one day to talk about the Corolla GR he just bought. Then a few weeks later I call him to talk about how his GR was working and he told me he traded it for a Supra, a rare yellow manual. Then he called me a month or two after that to talk about Broncos. Then the next thing I know he has his own Badlands 2-door. He added a few bit but loves the thing. And yes I kinda pushed him to the Bronco. I mean he had to crawl out of the Supra on his hands and knees.

That is a sweet looking ride he has! And iconic silver is a very rare color indeed!

I was a day 1 reservation holder and after my 1st Bronco purchase in September 2021, I bought 2 Bronco Sports for my business. In 2022 my CFO sold his Wrangler and bought a Bronco and in 2023 I bought another Sport for the business.

In 2023, I ordered a Raptor and when it arrived in November 2023, my wife fell in love with the dealer’s Heritage LE so I traded in my Badlands for that and ended the day with 2 more Broncos.

One of my service techs recently ordered a 2025 Bronco in late November.

I think I have done my share to spread the Bronco way of life!
- 2023 Raptor / Shadow Black / MGV (DOB 8/30/23)
- 2023 Heritage Limited Edition / Robin’s Egg Blue / 4dr / (stolen from my dealer 11/15/23)

We are the friends Scott helped with spending our money.

Well, we are proud to be Bronco owners, looking forward to our Off-Roadeo trip in a couple of weeks and then either turning the Bronco into an overlander or towing it behind our Camper Van for a trip back out west at some point this year.

Thanks for the amazing time out in the desert in your Bronco, Scott (& Louise)! It was easy to see how much fun we are going to have in our Bronco! You had us at "lock the rockers to go up this trail...."
