Amount of usage with your Bronco -

[jnew71]

In this age of working from home, does anyone feel that he/she isn't driving his/her Bronco enough to warrant ownership?

I work from home, play a lot of golf on the weekends and thus far, haven't driven it that much (after 2 months it has 1600 miles on it, but 1000 was in a 3 day stretch to the beach). I love everything about this thing but am not using it enough and it leaves me feeling somewhat guilty.

We have the opposite problem with our Bronco as we are averaging 2,000 miles per month. If you wan’t to feel guilty about not using something, get a boat. I have two boats and the lakes are frozen for 5 months each year. Many boaters i know put less than 40 hours each year on their boat.

I'm picking up my bronco today and I'll be in the same boat work wise. It'll be a fun weekend car though

I work from home quite a bit, too. I've been doing day trips on my days off, despite the higher gas prices we've seen. Pick a direction out of town, drive randomly on little farm roads, then pull up a map and see what state parks are around. It gets me out of the house and puts some miles on the truck. And now, I've now seen more of the state than some of my co-workers who were born and raised here.

Owned 4 months, just turned 5500 miles. And it's not my daily driver. I love driving this thing and do so whenever I can. Damn it's fun!

I barely use my Bronco but still love it. After over 3 month ownership I have only 880 miles. I can only afford to drive it on the weekend due to gas prices. I don't work from home and have a super long commute to work and it would cost me $500 a month to drive the Bronco on a daily basis. I do drive it to work every other Friday and pay the gas for one day, which is a LOT. So I have a VW Jetta for that which 53-58 MPG. I hope to use the Bronco more when on vacation, drive it to Georgia in the mountains, etc.

I feel like I am putting too many miles on it. It's hard not to WANT to drive it.
If anything, my motorcycle is jealous and frankly just sits there during peak summer months.
I could save loads of $ by the fuel mileage between the two.
But it is just plain fun and easy to jump in the top-down doors-off Chonco and go to work.

2 months, 4000 miles… no guilt

Same here! 6 months and 13k km. I have another steed, but it is always the Bronco keys I grab.

Don’t have any regrets. Even if you bought this with the intent of it being your DD, you would have utilized another vehicle equally but been less excited every time you got in it. Unless the payments (assuming you have any) are putting undue strain on your lifestyle, keep it and keep those smiles coming when you get behind the wheel. It’s about smiles more than miles.

I can work from home and for the first couple of months I would go in to the office just so I could drive it. 4800 miles and will hit 3 months of ownership Thursday. It has taken us on lots of adventures so far.

Keep in mind, a huge percentage folks living in the US don't warrant owning about 75% of the items that we do lol. Nobody needs a 5k Sq foot home, or a new vehicle, etc lol. Enjoy it when you do drive it!!

Got it on September...drove 1300 miles home....now has 2800 miles on it. 1500 miles in 10 months. Yeah, I feel a little guilty.

No payment - just need to be more intentional about getting it out a bit more

I find I’m driving my Bronco much more than I have previous vehicles. Any chance I have, even just for a drive for no reason, I’ll drive my Bronco.
