Anyone else change their driving habits after getting Bronco?

Drive it like you stole it, this goes for anything I drive.

Recent road trip, the Bronco feels great at the speed limiter for miles and miles.

Nope, I've been driving like the age my beaded seat covers make me look since before the Bronco. Turns out you save a lot of money on fuel, tickets, and insurance by not being an asshat.

Although I find myself rolling stops to avoid ASS when I forget to hit the button.

I've noticed that ever since I got my Bronco, I drive quite a bit slower. I used to speed everywhere, but now I consistently realize that I'm barely doing the speed limit.

I know some people are trying to save gas, but that's not a factor for me.

Anyone else change their driving at all (faster, slower, more or less aggressive, etc.), or is it just me?

Apologies in advance to our folks still waiting.

A Bronco doesn't need to be driven fast or aggressive to have fun. Let the other poor suckers get their kicks getting to the next stoplight quickly and slamming on their brakes. That said, yeah I drive 70 on the freeway instead of 80 and enjoy the ride far more than my sedan, and time lost is chicken shit.

Driving a slow car fast is more fun than driving a fast car slow....cruising in the mustang passing most everything is less fun than trying to keep up with traffic in the Model A...I figure the Bronco will be more like the Model A than the mustang....just about right...

I'm at 379 miles on the odometer, and babying mine even more than you. I try to not exceed 2K RPM's, but have exceeded that slightly when taking off from a stoplight on a highway if traffic is heavy. I HAVE DEFINITELY NOT EXCEEDED 2.5K.

Manual says 3k, so I'm sticking by that.

More like changed back! Coming from a Syclone, Nitrous fed Ranger Splash, then Mazdaspeed 3, I was forced into a 2006 Expedition for family-friendly reasons. My driving habits with the Expedition quickly became more defensive and planned out. But since selling the Expedition to buy my new 2-door 2.7 Bronco!!!!! I can drive as carefully, or carefree as I wish to. But of course, erroring more towards safe and insurance-friendly driving habits.

I Am too high profile in the Bronco. I had to become more polite on the road when i gave up my "same white Taco" as everyone else on island. God bless dark tint.

Damn!, I thought I was the only one. My wife and kids both say I drive way slower and more pleasant now with the Bronco than with any previous vehicle. I took it on a minor road trip this weekend and used my adaptive cruise control for the 1st time and it was awesome! I know it's not brand new technology but it's new to me. I cannot imagine taking a long road trip without it now. Additionally, I'm in no hurry to get to where I'm going now because I absolutely love driving the Bronco so I'm sure that also has a little to do with my "Grandma" like driving.

Nope! Having had a truck of various shapes and sizes since the early 90's, I'm use to they way they drive. And with the advances in technology, they handle better now.

Yup, I have been driving around the Speed limit posted and coz now I cannot see shorter cars behind my Sasq I don't get intimated by the (BMW, MBs and Audi's) who like to push all the time.

ughh i can't wait i need this to change my driving habits. have been driving nothing but hellcats since early 2015.......why isn't the car in front of me on the highway doing 100+mph?!?! get out of the wayyyyyyy. yes that all needs to stop.

 

[cyberfalco]

I find myself going faster as it rides way better than everything else I have.

 

[Jeverall]

haha, yes! And.... I had considered purchasing a GC Trackhawk vs the Bronco, in which case I would probably be doing the opposite and speeding all the time.....
