Bronco Sport owners waving

[jamaicandave]

I'm in the Ottawa, Canada area. Big Bend, purchased last August. Around here I have Bronco Sport and Bronco owners waving as they approach on 2 lane roads, like motorcyclists generally do. It's easy to identify a Bronco Sport or Bronco as most trim levels have the words in big letters on the front grille. Is this an Ottawa Valley thing or have you seen this too?

When first bought my BB 4/30/2021 I could go days without seeing another. Kinda had a natural urge to acknowledge a fellow BS when you spotted one. Recently had pizza outdoors with the kids and I was amazed at the number of Broncos and Sports that passed by. The notion of something unique is long gone at least in an urban area. Doesn’t lessen my enjoyment of it one bit.

Same here - Sioux Lookout, Ontario, Canada.
Much smaller than Ottawa (3500 people) but 7 or 8 Bronco Sports and 2-3 Big Broncos!!!
I can confirm the greeting/waving, even though less than at the beginning. Also small talks
at parking lots, etc., rolling down the window: "nice car!" ... between two Bronco owners ... kind of funny.
Also high beam flashing on the highway, easy recognizable with unique front grill/headlights.
First Bronco owners were/felt special because we had to wait so long for one (6 month-2021 shortage) ... and all the waiting and effort invested. Now there are more and more and it is a bit less exciting.
All in all, Broncos are a noticeable / visibly outstanding vehicles, so different from all other small SUVs - all look alike, slanting blobs. Reason enough to recognize each other.

Cheers

I have the 2021 Big Bend up here in the Barry's Bay area, 2 hours north of Ottawa. It took some time but I got almost everyone with a Bronco waving at each other as we pass, even the old ladies.

I see a lot of Broncos around here but nobody waves or honks or does anything.

I’m in Oakville where there are lots of Broncos (Ford head office and plant) and have had my Badlands since February 2021. I’ve never seen anyone wave to me and, frankly, I’m glad. I think it’s kind of dumb.

I've found that in rural areas, people often wave at you regardless of what you're driving. To me it means "yeah, I'd stop and help you if you needed it."

Once in California, I stopped to help an older couple dig their car out of a snowbank. Another guy from Nevada stopped to help also. All of the CA drivers just kept going.

I've had lots of folks ask me how I like my Sport. I always tell them I love it.

Love your OB color selection. One of my personal favorite colors with nice contrast with black roof.

Where?

Gilbert Arizona, but that also applies to other towns around here I go througth, Mesa, Chandler, Tempe, Phoenix, Casa Grande to name a few.

There are a ton of Broncos around, both flavors, but no waves or honks.

When you live in the most populated state it’s like you see someone, acknowledge their existence and kinda move on.

Don’t wave it’s very TURKEY

Sounds kinda like the “Jeep Wave” from 20 years ago. Out in rural Manitoba we wave at everyone.

Some places in my city, waving will get you shot, so, sorry, no waves from me.
