The Bronco information drip feed

[BAUS67]

So was the Bronco ever used for any expeditions anywhere like the Land Rover Defender and the Land Rover Discovery? Maybe not, or? And also, have the military anywhere used the Bronco? You know, like the Land Rovers. Yes/no?

OK ? I surrender. You got me there on the Bronco in the military. I've seen a lot in civilian use though Airports, Municipal depts., Fire Fighters, etc. But just in case you didn' t know ……..

Ford did build the first JEEPs for the military along with Willys after the Bantam design which was created in Butler PA. Willys took over sole manufacturing a few years after the war started, then trademarked it later, think in the 50's. LONG before Land Rover buddy. In fact if I was like you I should stress the point that Ford was the FIRST to mass produce but I'm not a bragger.

I really don't get the point of bringing the military into it. Anyone who thinks the military using something makes it special, has obviously never been in the military.

Someone mention Willys? My first restoration project that got away, someone beat me to it when I went to buy it.

The Original 4x4 SUV, 1946 Willys Overland Wagon..., yes, before Land Rover.

Several people answer his questions in great detail about the history of the Bronco and crickets?

Truth is it was never used for much really. Som camping and fishing trips, and thats about it.

I was in the military(it is mandatory). We had MB Geländewagens. They were not great. The civillian version is much better though.

Yep. Not much. Huntin' and fishin' trips. No off road racing or any of that. Bronco has zero heritage or fan following. Not even sure why there's a website.

Unlike folks in Europe with their posh land rovers, Americans don't need to travel to other continents to experience the outdoors. "expeditions" are things we do for fun on our days off. Plenty of bronco's are used for over landing. I know Alaskans love them. I can't figure out if you're actually this pompous, or just a troll. Modern landrovers are balls. It's takes talent to be less reliable than Jeep. But they've done it. Year after year. I'm surprised the brand is still around.

I'd love a Touareg or a Cayenne for just that reason. There will be a 6spd Cayenne GTS on BaT every month or so, and there's dealer not too far from me that has a couple Touaregs, one of which is a V6 tdi.

Still wouldn't tough a Land Rover unless it was a 4th car (and I wouldn't touch a v10 tdi touareg unless it was a 14th car).

Cayenne is truly special, had ours for like 12 years and everytime I think of parting with it I just can't do it.
