I haven't even owned my Bronco for a week yet and I've already spent about fifteen bucks at the local do it yourself car wash trying to get the mud out of the fender wells.

I've driven it at two different places that had a little bit of mud, and each time it picked up about twenty pounds of the stuff in the wheel wells. I've learned to head directly to the car wash before it freezes or dries, because it's harder to get off if you wait. The front fender wells have some kind of fabric-like stuff that holds onto the mud better than the plastic parts do. I have a pointy plastic thing to scrape the biggest stuff out before trying to get it with the car wash wand. After doing my best with it, there is still mud packed into the front and rear bumper areas. When we get some warmer weather, I'll have to work on those parts at home with a hose and spray nozzle.

Do Jeeps and other off road vehicles collect mud as well as the Bronco does?

Yes.
Just wait until you wheel with the doors off (or windows down) the first time.
You'll love the interior cleaning extravaganza...

accept the suck and move on. I ran my 69 doorless and topless for years. You get used to it after a while....dirt, dust and whatever else ends up in there becomes a part of the character of the Bronco. just keep a small umbrella around to pop up at stoplights :)
