Anyone buying a new Bronco owned one in the past?

[Txchewy]

My first vehicle was an 88 Bronco with a 302 5sp. Lots of good memories in that truck. Owned a few expeditions but they were never the same experience. Own a JK now but can't wait for the Bronco!

My Dad had a 79 bronco when I was growing up. Use to go out 4x4 with him.. This will be my first bronco and I plan on taking my daughter out with me.

I've owned 3... all first gen. This is the only picture I have of any of them. I have to get with some old friends and dig through their photo albums someday.

First of all, cool picture! If you know/recall, is the bronco a Mallard Green color?

I still have my 94 XLT.

Have had 3 over the years. A 78 Bronco (hand me down from dad), an 88 Bronco II, and a 79 Bronco for woods running. Looking forward to my 4th...

Yeah, it's on the big side. But it's a great truck, and IMO the 92 through 96 Broncos and F-150's are the best looking Ford Trucks since the 56 F-100's

I can respect that. "To each his own". Ford definitely makes the best trucks! There's a reason the Ford F-150 has been America's Best selling truck for 43 consecutive years!

When I was little, my step-father's 1975 Bronco was the first 'truck' I ever drove. Was on the farm and I was probably 6-7 sitting on the edge of the seat. I was only allowed to put it in first gear (automatic). He sat in the passenger seat. Yes I learned to drive early as I already knew how to drive the forklift we had.

That same 1975 sits in my garage today. I'm looking forward to having two, one old and one new, in the stable.

Cool story! Thanks for sharing!

Growing up my Dad had a ‘72, ‘74 then an ‘82. I had a ‘75 that my wife always used to complain about the smell of gas in the garage and wouldn’t ride in it. My company moved us from DFW to Orange County in 2014 and we took it with us but I didn’t have room at the POS, little, overpriced house so I kept it in storage so it didn’t get driven much then the wife wanted a new kitchen so I sold it. A new one will sort of fill the void for me.

Had a 69 Bronco...of course now I wish I never sold it.

When was that picture took?

Another cool story. I love it!

Nice!

It is gonna be my first, but growing up my buddy next door had a 79 Custom and also I believe a 82. He had his license before me and drove me to school, loved those Broncs! Excited for my first!!

Growing up, my great uncle had 2, and my dad had 1 running one and a totalled out scrap one that he parted out to fix the running one. I think these were all the early 70s models. I was never allowed to drive my great uncle's, and my dad burned his out before I got to driving age. Riding in them was always a blast. It felt like I was in a tank, and there was no obstacle we couldn't hurdle.

I always said if Ford brought them back, I'd buy one. Still waiting on B&P to see if it's going to be feasible for me. If so, this will be my first, but technically, I've been around them my whole life.
