Hey Bronco Nation,

I know that there are plenty of people who have bought a Bronco and don't plan to take it off-road. However, in this forum, I'd think that most of us are planning to hit the dirt once we take delivery of our Broncos. This is our thread for memorializing and sharing that first trail you took your new Bronco on. Post a pic, tell where you went and how the Bronco did on its first dirt.

Something to get us started:

Took my Badlands to the Grand Canyon Parashant Halloween weekend.

I put a short video of one of the trails on Instagram. Here are a couple pictures. We camped on the rim of the Grand Canyon, and also got to try out Baja Mode in some open country on the way.

Took my bronco sport up a steep muddy hill overlooking the ocean (definitely a new camping spot once I get my rooftop tent next season) followed by some fun time in the mud. We actually ended up getting stuck and my friend used her ingenuity to place smooth rocks under the wheels to get traction to get us out of a giant mud puddle. Not bad for a couple of first time off roaders LOL

Looks like you guys had a blast and took the getting stuck thing in stride.

The color of your Bronco in the first pic is absolutely stunning. And that's coming from a person who prefers Rapid Red.

My first time stretching and flexing, tried out GOAT modes, donut mode, one pedal, etc that day as well. Can’t wait to get to an Off Roadeo, but in the meantime will be getting Bucky as dirty as possible!
