Anyone else change their driving habits after getting Bronco?

Definitely slower and I have a tendency to straighten out the round a bout. Excellent observation

Oh for sure! I went from a SUV with 255/45/20ZR tires and sporty suspension to one with 315/70/17 MT tires and soft suspension.

Zero f#%@s given for potholes and uneven pavement! Plus, I plan to never get suck in the sand again...

I definitely have noticed a change in my driving habits. I drive faster, spend more time on dirt, and love to throw it sideways in the snow!

I've found myself being more conservative, and trying to be aware of the size versus what's outside the truck. I'm used to cars, so that's caused me to be more aware of where I am and where everyone else is.

I originally tried to worry about MPGs and watch the gauge, but now I use the triple readout and ignore how I drive after seeing I got better mileage that way. The gauge is fine, but I think paying attention to gearing, RPM, grade, and all that will give you better mileage since you can feel when its working harder (burning more fuel) to maintain speed.

I have noticed it likes to be driven harder and shifted more aggressively, its me being careful because its new and breaking-in. Speaking of, I just got my third oil change at 4000 miles, so I think its time for Shadow to see full boost

unintentionally, i drive faster. i don't mean to but when i look down at the speedo, it's usually 5-10 mph faster than i thought i was going. the ride is just so nice i just don't realize it. oh and since you asked i am intentionally less aggressive.

Definitely drive different. Feels like I am going faster and the ride is much smoother. This is coming from an Xterra so Im not sure if that is any comparison.

Rocket sled on wheels, like everything I drive except the KR F350 CCLB SRW. I drive the one ton like it is heavy, and slower with a trailer... unless I'm towing to windrock...

I’m learning to drive slower. Coming from a 5.0 Mustang this thing is a lot heavier and takes a lot more distance to stop

Yeah me too..l

For me the main thing that's changed is my parking strategy. With my old vehicles I didn't care where I parked. But since getting two dings on my other newer vehicle, I'm careful where and by whom I park, drives my wife crazy. What's with people opening their doors into other vehicles?!

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.

I'm still really aggressive! I'm always in sport mode, I have the V6 and am always driving a little too fast haha!
