So it sounds like this is a more common occurrence than I thought it'd be!
yep thats how it starts ...5k into mine and loving every second of it lolMy wife and I were at a Ford dealership earlier this year, looking to trade in my F150 for a Superduty for better towing. We've also been looking around at the eventual replacement of her vehicle. As we were looking at the trucks on the lot, she made the mistake of pointing at a 4D 6g and saying "What's that? It looks pretty cool". In the famous words of Mike Goldberg, "It's aaaaaaaaaaaall over!!!" Joke aside, I was surprised, but excited, because a Bronco fits our needs perfectly, I just didn't think it'd be something she'd be interested in.
I grew up riding in my Dad's 3g 351. I LOVED that thing. I'm still mad at him for selling it! It's pretty hard to compare a 3g to these new 6g's, but the nostalgic factor is still there for me. Once I got wife approval (since technically this is her vehicle), we started window shopping Broncos, and recently found a "used" 2023 Wildtrak with only 2100 miles on it. Well, an afternoon and a bit of haggling later, she's all ours. We're looking forward to the fun!
It was also fun convincing the salesman not to detail the exterior. The last 1/2 mile of our road is basically an offroad trail full of huge potholes and ruts filled with mud and water, so it is a waste of the dealership's time (it was already pretty clean). For context, there was no dirt on it when we left the dealership.

What a Great looking Bronco...if your on rock or gravel roads look into "RokBlokz" mud flaps...I just put them on my 23 Badlands for a rally race I was being a sweep for and made a world of difference...just a thought...My wife and I were at a Ford dealership earlier this year, looking to trade in my F150 for a Superduty for better towing.

I noticed by your location that you are near where I grew up in Aztec NM. Southern Colorado is awesome.
We drive on a lot of gravel around here, so I'll look into those, thanks.

Does the Bronco have an issue throwing rocks and chipping the door paint? Or is the primary reason for mudflaps just for the mud spray?
