I have seen maybe 3-4 BS from the dealership down the road from us, but no big ones. Saw a few Mavericks though, one was hauling a trailer. Considering the fact we aren’t really anything but a truck state, that’s pretty meh. I know the inventory for the dealership near us is total garbage, though, so that could also explain the lack of exciting colors being put into the order banks.

They are everywhere in western NC. Big Broncos, too. If there's one thing people love around here, it's vehicles that flaunt outdoorsy lifestyle vibes. Although I haven't seen any Velocity Blue Sports yet!

They’re becoming increasingly common around here in SD. Same with the big broncos.

I get a kick out of seeing the big broncos being used as suburban mall crawlers. Kinda want to ask them if they have to put it in 4wd low to get into that parking spot at the grocery store.

My partner tries hard to convince me not to judge...but every Bronco I've seen here in town has never left pavement, guaranteed. Moms drive them to take their kids to sporting events and go grocery shopping. I've never actually seen one in the National Forest I work in.

Wonder if the awful MPG is worth looking cool.

I've spotted a handful around me. I always wave ?, give a peace sign ✌, or the shaka ? . Not too many returns.. sad face. Oh well, I still really enjoy this vehicle, so the smile on my face has yet to fade. Hope you are all well!

It also takes so much effort, around here anyway, to get to a trail where you could use any of the advanced off-roading hardware. Like the nearest trail that isn’t a glorified fire road is at least an hour away. And the next trail where you could utilize that is over three hours away.

Buy what you want I guess, but for a mall crawler at those price points I’d be looking at a German.

There's is about two or three big Broncos (4-door BB, 2-door OB, ?) at my job and I've seen about r four BS (all BL minus one BB in Kodiak Brown) in my town. There's a white, red, and black one.

If Ford could build 250-300k sports a year they would sell every single one of them. But with supply chain parts shortage crisis demand can't be met. Some times I see other sports out driving but they still aren't common around were I live.

I wonder what they anticipated sales numbers to be during development? The plant, if Wikipedia is accurate, has a production capacity of 300,000 units per year. So while it’s not enough to handle all C2 vehicles for N.America (after all the Escape/Corsair are produced in Louisville) still they’re trying to get it to produce the BS, Maverick and potentially if this is to be believed, the next gen Transit Connect. So I’m assuming when production planning happened alongside design, they didn’t anticipate the sales numbers they are getting Or could be getting?

A lot of people zone out when they drive; they're talking with someone on the phone, listening to a podcast; watching por..., no wait, I meant rocking out to some tasty tunes, etc. In short, they're doing everything they can to avoid thinking about the chore of driving.

Or maybe they're just anti-social jerks. Whatevs... Don't let anyone else cramp your style.

Starting to see more and more of these in my Area. Used to be just one in town a few months ago. Starting to see them side by side at stop lights now.

I'm in a hotbed sales area...I see a number of sports daily, more so when I hit US23 or I75/94/96 in either direction. Likewise starting to see a lot of the Broncos in the area. They are both hitting the lots far more frequently as things start to pick up.

There are a couple I see fairly regularly, but overall the BS is still pretty uncommon in my area.
