What did you drive before getting your Bronco?

[OffRoadUSA.com]

Just for fun, what were you driving before making the switch to the Bronco? Always curious what brought people over and how the Bronco stacks up for you so far.

Feel free to share pics!

VW Atlas Cross Sport AWD. Actually I like the car, it had some much interior room but wanted something more capable to get me to camping spots. Dont miss it though as the Bronco is fun to drive.

I had a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon just before I bought a BRaptor. I've had two different Wrangler Rubicons before that truck. I've had 3 different fullsize Broncos in the late '80s and '90s and I always hoped Ford would bring back the Bronco.

Telsa Model Y Performance. I absolutely adore the car, but at the risk of getting political backlash - f*ck Tesla as long as Musk is associated.

I wanted to get into wheeling/overlanding, and was originally going to wait for my Rivian R2 reservation, but decided that was going to be too long of a wait.
I still love EV life, though, so now I need to figure out if I keep my R2 reservation, or if I instead go for something like a Taycan Sport Turismo... because I don't see needing or wanting anything for offroad use now that I've lived with my BRaptor for a couple months.

Bought it new in 2001 and still have it. A 2 wheel drive, 235 K miles, averaging 21 MPG and still chugging along... Did have to finally ditch the rear air springs last year for some coil ones. Wasn't going to buy another $400 compressor for it as I had already gone through three! With the new Bronco, the Oldsmobile's camping days are now in the rear view mirror...

2010 Chevy Silverado 2dr LS SB w/Vortec V6 in blue metallic (no it ain't GREEN!!). I still own it, but that's what I drove before Herr Bronco.

I traded my 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison Diesel in on my 23 BB. The Bison was more capable but I always wanted a Bronco since 1978. I went the Jeep route with a Jeep Scrambler, I forget the year but bought it new in Texas. So I think it was maybe a 1982. It let me down a couple of times and the last straw was when we were on vacation. So two days later I bought the BB. I still have a jeep but it is a 1942 Ford GPW (jeep). The short clip of my jeep is from this past January during just after the "Blizzard of Tallahassee". Well, it snowed, anyway. LOL. This is sunny and warm Florida. This is the first time since I've lived here (since 1996) that it has snowed and stuck around.

2008 Chevy Cobalt 400K miles and I still have it and use it to teach the boys how to drive a manual. going to make a Goblin out of it. and when I wasn't driving that it was my 2004 F250 12V.

It has been so long ago I can’t remember my last one but I am pretty sure it was a mix of my 2012 Chevy reg cab. And my 1992 LS swapped Volvo 240 wagon. Funny thing is they both had the same engine and transmission.

I blame my parents for not raising me as the little Rich Kid I always wanted to be, that way I could have kept my 2010 Tundra 5.7L 4x4 RCSB

 

[Big Boss]

2018 Mazda6, before that 2012 focus, before that 2007 mustang GT and before that 2004 Mustang GT.

Bronco might be the most fun vehicle I have ever had.

The Bronco was an addition, not a replacement. But, I was going to get a Wrangler Rubicon when the JKs came out, as I had assumed the engine and steering would be upgraded to modern times ( , I know, I know). When that didn't happen, I waited more, figuring it might be a mid-cycle refresh. Eventually, after years went by and nothing happened, I figured I was never going to own a serious off-road vehicle.

Then, a lucky confluence of events occurred. We started exploring slot canyons, and I started thinking about getting a vehicle that could better handle the rugged trails without worrying about getting a flat on our SUV's street tires. Shortly after, I heard about the upcoming big reveal for the new Bronco and watched it live. My wife and I both loved the design, and I joined the waiting list that night. The rest, as they say, is history.
