Love Your Jeep!

[Last Ride Bronco]

Love Your Jeep! That’s the phrase I usually hear. With the patience and understanding of a parent dealing with a naïve child, I just say, “Thank you, but it’s a Bronco.” My mission is to educate the public

At least I am not hearing this as often, “I like your Bronco, I thought it was smaller” (meaning they confused it with the Bronco Sport).

All that being said, there aren’t that many Broncos around for the public to see. I think it will get better in time. Some people use, “Jeep “ as a generic term for all off-road vehicles like some people use “Coke “ as a generic term for soft drinks.

I have the same gentleman innocently tell me time after time that he loves my jeep (my ‘70 Bronco). And time after time, I tell him, “it’s a Bronco!” Like you said, it’s just a generic term he’s using. I still don’t like it though. I’ve had another individual call my Bronco a jeep, and my 4 year old was appalled! She said, “noooo, that’s a Bronco!”

More often than not, mine is called a Jeep as well... BUT, never a Scout at least....

People say that to me too... I don't care, a compliment is a compliment.

Was at a car show and had someone telling me he was in his Bronco when a guy on a Harley pulled up next to him and said nice Jeep. He said thanks and told him nice Honda!

I keep getting “nice scout”

Could be worse... At least they're not saying "Nice Dodge Caravan" or something (*Insert 4-door joke from @Tricky Dick here*).

The couple times I've heard "Nice Jeep" I just correct them and move on as well.

just look around confused and reply, “I’m not towing a Jeep.”

Got that all the time back when I was driving Scouts

I finally got smart enough to address it this way.

Some people use, “Jeep “ as a generic term for all off-road vehicles like some people use “Coke “ as a generic term for soft drinks.

Is it a regional thing maybe? I’ve never heard that around here, but I can picture people in different parts of the country calling any 4-wheeler a ”jeep”…

Im sure many of them are being smart asses. They are calling Ford out for copying the Jeep.
