In the future...some non car-person will call/think your Bronco is a Jeep...how will you respond?

[tshaw2009]

There is only one response that is fitting for someone that mistakes a Bronco for a Jeep:

The more I read some of the responses in this thread, I think the question should be rephrased as “Drivers of certain cars have reputations for being total a-holes; how can we be one of them?”

You’re losing perspective. You’re used to there only being tons of jeeps around, hence the Jeep first perspective. So in the future they might just get them confused, or even think Jeeps are Broncos

Alot of folks confuse my Indian motorcycle with a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I just give a smile and keep on going, sometimes it's just not worth the effort to explain.

I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you!

 

[SVT_GRL]

I’ll just give them Bronco horns and a smile! “Bronco, baby!!!”

 

[BroncoJay]

Or maybe they will refer to the Jeep as a bronco... because the bronco will have dominated the Jeep and people will have forgot about it
?

 

[Beef78]

I’ll say, “thanks brother.”

Be prepared to hear this OFTEN. Even my wife calls Fj40s jeeps. She will probably call the Bronco a Jeep too. She doesn’t give a F and calls it what she wants lol. Jeep has become synonymous with the topless 4x4 and there are a billion of them On the road or off-road everywhere you look. Had other brands kept making their topless 4x4s maybe people would realize there are others. Between Broncos and Wranglers, there will now be a topless 4x4s in every mirror on your crawl to the mall.

I'll respond the same way I do when somebody says that about my 1974.
I reply "what jeep?"

 

[Hoofnmouth]

I would politely say au contraire no the jeep is at home.

Oh man. I can't even tell you how many times I've gotten compliments on my "Honda" and to a lesser extent my "CBR". Lmao. Honda wishes.

It's even worse in the cruiser world. I could be riding a Japanese cruiser (Honda Shadow, Kawasaki Vulcan, etc.) and it's "Hey, nice Harley!" all day long. They can't tell an American bike like a Victory or an Indian either, no matter how big the logo or how easily they spell it out... If it looks like a cruiser it's a Harley, every single time.

I guess it would be the same in the ADV world, where every adventure bike looks like a BMW thanks to "Long Way Round"?

But, if I had to guess, I was thinking you would get "Nice Ninja" in the sports bike world rather than Honda or CBR.

Yea it's the same in every circle. I get Honda because it's red and "Hondas are red" haha

 

[Dads_bronze_bronco]

I always reply one of two ways;

“Barbie drives a Jeep, this is a Bronco”

Or

“Jeeps are for girls!”

I’m confused ?‍

I thought Barbie got all hot for GI Joe listening to Van Halen in a Nissan 300zx?

Which is constant by the way. And weird since they look nothing alike. I always say its not a charger, you can't buy a Tremec 6 in the charger. They look even more bewildered.

Nice ride, but I can't get past the attention to detail of leaving a drink lid and straw on the garage floor. Just a silent trigger of my GI Clean days.
