Hello all,
My wife and I are getting on in years, she used to be a convertible gal, had an MX-5, an '03 red Thunderbird, and her last was a Buick Cascada we traded for this little pony. The poor '17 Cascada only had 13,000 on it so we got a great deal on the trade in.
I used to have a Toyota FJ, so we thought perhaps a real utility vehicle with some fairly serious capability and towing capacity would be a good change, and it had to be easy to get in and out of. My vehicle is a Ford F350 Platinum that we use to tow a large Toy Hauler. I'm grateful for the nearly 30mpg this little beast gets.
At first she was skeptical, but we checked the Bronco Sport out while my truck was in for service, and she fell in love with it, but wanted a better color, she likes a vehicle that stands out.
We ended up with a '24 Badlands, I insisted she get the model with the larger motor and heavier drive train, we probably won't go off road too much but our driveway is a half mile itself, and I'm sure there is a beach somewhere. I tricked it out a little for her. She was particularly interested in the door guards, we bought aftermarket because the OEM get too close to the logos on the doors. I also added a Bronco on the tailgate, but for some reason I can't add more than one photo.
The dealership had to look around their inventory to get a color she wanted, so we had to wait a day to pick it up, I think the only thing it doesn't have is built in navigation, but using Android Auto isn't a problem. I really like the "Topo-Graphics", they help with glare.
She couldn't be happier, and I think we will be driving it more!
