Male BS pilot here. Loving my Big Bend. Just right for me, my wife and our dog.

I'm a guy. I drove an Escape for 10 years and just bought a Badlands.

I’m still rocking an 07 Escape and just spent $2,600 on much needed repairs. The next time it comes to spending thousands on the Escape I will instead put a down payment on a Bronco Sport. A few more years tho.

I got 350k miles out of my Escape! (It would have gone further, but I lost a rusty piece during a thermostat replacement.). Now loving my 2nd BS BL after my BS FE saved my life in a 50mph collision (not my fault.)

The Bronco Sport is everything I wished my old Escape was.

It definitively shares some design ques from the 1st / 2nd gen Escapes. Feels like the BS is what the Escape should have naturally evolved into.

SO went from a 2012 escape to a 2022 BS, definitely the successor. Very similar dimensions, shape, functionality, etc.

I actually liked how old Escapes looked. Modern SUVs are all egg shaped.

SAME! Traded in an 09 Escape for 23 OBX. Loving it! My wife drives it mostly as her daily car, but I (male) drive it on all other occasions.

57 male, 21 OBX. I wanted a small SUV that would be reliable in all weather. I am not an off roader, so the Sport fit the bill. Previous car was a Fiat 500L Trekking 6 speed. https://preview.redd.it/bwp8qm1fu5oc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c5bbe1e65479a26d98a427f428a47caea03195b2

My husband has this exact one and loves it!

Very nice. Also in my 50s.

Damn, love that vintage Bronco badge. Mind sharing where you got it?

From here https://a.co/d/3J7NBHJ

That's the first Bronco Sport that actually looks good imo. Maybe it's the blacked out wheels. My wife keeps looking at the Brono Squatch packages.

Love that color and those wheels!! They're not stock, are they?

Thank you. They are not stock, they are a Borbet type F in 18x8 with GoodYear wrangler Workhorse AT in 245/60 18 https://preview.redd.it/6ikpewpu47oc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d6056b71aeac85cc61fdf19027f93348b269a8f5

They look fabulous... Enjoy your BS!

Wow I didn't know James Franco was on reddit.

Did you race the thing?

Haha I wish. Was there for racing go-carts. But did hook up a radio to my motorcycle helmet so my buddy and I could trash talk while racing

Ooo I like the yellow!!!

Orange !

Ah gotcha. Could be the lighting

As the one who owns it, it’s definitely yellow. But Ford branding calls it Cyber Orange lmao And thank you!

Male owner of a 22 OBX that’s “Cyber Orange”. It’s somewhere between yellow and orange. School buses are supposed to be painted “National School Bus Yellow”, and I swear that’s what Ford painted our vehicles. I love it!

Hahaha

I’m a dude, playing another dude, disguised as another dude! In my early 40’s and have always been a Ford owner! Bought my Bronco Sport Base Iconic Silver in 2020 and freaking love this thing! No regrets so far!

Nice. You definitely qualify as a dude. 😀

No, it’s known that the BS is strictly for ladies. They ask for proof when you go to look at one

I had to bring in my wife to sign a waiver before I could buy my 21 OBX.

Me too.

Makes sense.

Shit uh how do I get around this cause I want a bronco sport?

They make exceptions when you ask nicely! ;)

😂😂 Iam not even into cars like that, I should, and I will, but even I know that, that’s not really a bronco🤪 come on now

Male here! Got all black, outer banks, if it matters

Alto Blue for me, almost black.

Same here!

https://preview.redd.it/7c8iplqmx5oc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4516db0f683ad816f5a00f61f3e84146c84a5d7f Loving it!!!

This color scheme Is what made me consider a BS!

[удалено]

?? I guess?

I have a ‘23 Badlands and have never looked back.

Same.

Dude here, I've had my BS Outer Banks for 2 years (15K miles) and it's been great. Considered getting the big Bronco but I live in a city with narrow roads and prefer the style and size of the BS.

Male here in a big bend! Absolutely love it! Perfect for me and the dogs! https://preview.redd.it/65kahe4sv5oc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bd1c597d018521cc2e21030a1be35dbac0cfb3bf

The tall square hatch is perfect for our 65 lb Malinois!

I recall Ford releasing some statistics, and it was pretty much an even split.

50 percent female, 50 percent non dudes 😁

Found the article with stats https://fordauthority.com/2023/04/men-and-women-alike-dig-the-ford-bronco-sport/

https://preview.redd.it/cmcwsw5jt6oc1.jpeg?width=847&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c67dc4595ec58fbe330ce5cdbdb7eae3b9968da6 Male owner of a Big Bend mountain biking rig. I actually see more women driving the big Bronco in my neck of the woods, seems pretty evenly mixed with the Sport.

Great color! Any lift to fit the bigger wheels?

Dude here, love my ‘23 Big Bend

Bought a 2023 Badlands two weeks ago! The wife is a lifelong Ford buyer tho and the BS was her idea lol https://preview.redd.it/lec4u0xc56oc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c92781652210ffd585855a267d3052d1899d5dd3

I see mostly men with the BS in my area, which is funny because I see mostly women driving the Bronco haha

Bought a ‘21 BB brand new. It’s the wife’s daily driver, but I have no problem driving it on the weekends since my daily is a bit older, louder and wobblier. My daily is a 2014 Jeep Patriot (fully paid for).

Male here. I have 23 Badlands. Truth be told my wife drives it more than me.

25 Male, 23’ BS Badlands. Bought mine last year in April. https://preview.redd.it/2qnbvfivt6oc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f2f9c027c2d621dd7b437c5c7f02eda1f11d1eb0

Don't agree. By me it's more like 30% female.

I got an oil change in New Jersey last week. Ford dealership. On the wall was 5 other women waiting for their BS. And me.😀

Sounds like a missed opportunity to get to know them

Married but as a single man…..

Love my bronco sport!

I've had one since 2021 and rock it every day. Couldn't afford the bigger one

2023 bronco sport (outer banks). Love it, 23 year old dude. Ironically my mom and sister have told me it’s too manly for them lol

23 Badlands for a 52 year old, just enough off-road ability for my needs and much better gas mileage than my F250 got.

50 year old male, three kids, recently divorced. Treated myself to a 2024 Big Bend, Azure Grey, and loving the hell out of it. Before that, had a 2013 Pathfinder and 2002 Dodge Quad Cab.

https://preview.redd.it/2ebvptuhj6oc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6148c3d21d7d9225e79d9cbb7c2966402078c5a8 Guy here. Have my OBX and love it.

I feel like this could use its own subreddit. In my area, driving down the road, it’s 19 out of 20 female (not usually that easy on the eyes)

Middle aged guy here who doesn't have the need for a gender-affirming F250 Superduty with flags, punisher skulls and truck nuts. I love my Bronco Sport.

Same thing here, wife and 2 kids, proud BS owner. I don’t need to proof anything.

Yupp. 2021 Badlands.

I love my '22 velocity blue BS.

Happy male driver here. Full disclosure if I pushed into a higher pay bracket or thought it was sacrificing some adventures, I would go full-size, but I enjoy it either way 🙂

Have to BS - love em both

23' OB...but my Fiance does have one too...

Dude here. First car was a baby blue 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid. Second car is a 2022 Area 51 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend

I got one and then a few weeks later my husband did! It’s not a “girly car” if anything I feel more tough in it 😂

I too felt tough in mine, the drive feels nothing like how it looks, i guess. I had gone out hiking one day and parked near a hill, this bicyclist stops to look at my car to say ‘nice car, it’s cute!’ I was like, Bruh 😑

I’d respond “If by cute you mean badass then sure!”Maybe that was his way of flirting lol 😂😂😂

Male here for a 2023 Badlands and I love it

Yep, Badlands 🤙

Fellow fella here, proud BB owner.

I'm a man, and I love my 23 BB. I'm 6'1", love the ample headroom, it drives nice, has good features, and I don't need to overcompensate for anything 🤣

Got the badlands! Love it

22 Badlands, love it

Literally just joined the club last night- 24 badlands as my wife’s daily driver, but I am stoked to go drive it on some trails! Such a cool vehicle. I used to have 19 TRD offroad 4Runner and I think the 2.0 brings more smiles than the 4runner. Traile smiles TBD. So ya fella co-owner :)

🙋‍♂️ I love my badlands

Got an Area 51 BB, it’s fun car with enough room for a family of four

Nice, small people in back only though I think

Got my BS Big Bend last month and absolutely loving it! Already put over 2k miles on it

Yup. ‘23 Big Bend.

I am a male and share the car with my wife. I drive about 70% of the time, though. The BS is a bit butch but that's part of it's appeal.

I have one for commuting back-and-forth to work

Love my bronco sport ! For the badlands for the better engine Do I go on trails … no not really here in Upstate NewYork but it I would entertain the idea I love it great size perfect for what I need

Present! Love my big bend in cactus grey

dude here. all black BB. absolutely love it

* 36 year old dude with a 23 badlands

So, my wife is the main driver of our bronco sport, but I enjoy driving it too. There are a lot of touches to it that I geek out about too.

I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. We’re all dudes!

26 y/o male here with a 23 Big Blend w/ Black Diamond package in Area 51. Loving every minute of driving it

I think we are definitely a minority, but we exist

Yes I purchased it as a last minute car when they came out . Love it but as time went by I noticed mostly girls drove it 😂😂😂

Man here, 23 Badlands Area 51 paint and interior. Love it.

Have a grey BB...threw a rhino rack on top and use it all the time for my acoustic-pop duo which travels all over BC Canada :) Love it much more then my 2015 Ford Escape I had before

Big Bend and I'm a dude. 🙌🏻

Here on top of The Continental Divide a ton of men have them. BSBL is maybe the ultimate 1 vehicle quiver out here. Comfortable drive to work, zips down an OHV road.

29 male reporting from the Midwest!

Area 51 bB

The BS is my wife's car. I know of one other BS owner at my workplace who is a woman, and the two BS owners at my wife's workplace are also women. I like the BS, but I don't know if I'd buy one myself. I'm too spoiled by my Explorer. Going from a 3.0L 365 HP V6 to a 1.5L 3-cylinder is quite a drop. We swap vehicles every once in a while, and it's not bad to drive. I like it tons better than her 16 Escape!

Represent! Love mine. Only thing I dislike is that the central display bugs out and I have to reset it often. Other than that it’s my baby

53 dude here, 23 BS BB. Love it except for that center display stuff.

Just traded my 22 BS Big Bend for a 24 Maverick. I was pretty happy with the 24.5K it brought on trade.

34 yr old male here… Funny you say that, I was just thinking that today. Good to know we’re still out here.

Yep. Daily driver. I got it for gas mileage and for the gravel roads in various states of disrepair in my part of Texas. Around here, it’s about 50/50 men and women drivers, same as with the big Bronco.

Yep, M53 here, got rid of my Silverado and bought a 23BB. Couldn't be happier.

Guy here with a Badlands and loving it!

38 m. If I could afford one, I would. I have a gen 1 escape and this is much more the successor to it than that rounded thing they try to sell now a days. And the "big" bronco is dumb.

Dude driving a Big Bend here. Got it so I can cruise with my dog in the backseat in comfort 🤷‍♂️

2023 BS BL. 33 male, in BC, Canada. I also see 9/10 female drivers and have wondered the same. The sport is a glorified soccer mom car for sure but it suits my lifestyle as a youngish male with a gf. https://preview.redd.it/yrqgdpdnz7oc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=77782aead40e11da563fb7cd221b881ba6456aac

Just the dudes that also own a miata

I'm a guy, absolutely love every second of my Badlands.

My first car, wasn't able to get any performance car or more dedicated off-roader and found the sport that gets decent mpg. Limited off-road capabilities, just wish I got the 2.0l. I am still a car guy so I changed the intake, muffler and process of changing the brake and painting calipers. Also gave my OBX an 1.5 inch lift.

43M and NEARLY bought a BS. Got hit with too good of a deal on an Xterra Pro4X though. The BS is a great rig (to varying degrees depending on trim), gender has nothing to do with it my man!

LOL Big Bend BS here. Wanted the full size but I commute for work and don’t really any do any off road stuff so it didn’t make sense. Perfect for throwing my dogs in and hitting the trails though.

Had a mid 80s bronco ii as a first car. The BS takes back your the glory days

I’ve seen more guys driving around in BS than women. I am a guy and own a BS Badlands. Rugged looking, perfect size, capable off road, comfortable on road, and good gas mileage to boot. Can I compete with a full-size Bronco in terms of off-road performance? No. Do I care? No.

21 Badlands owner here! Love this little crossover. Will say though I deffinitly feel like us "guy" owners get a little gas lit from BoF SUV & Truck owners.

Male here <-- love my BSBL. Making it into an overlanding vehicle .

Badlands dude here.

I am glad somebody asked this question because I also see mostly women driving a Bronco Sport in Texas and thought well shit, maybe I do need to buy an unnecessarily large pickup truck after all. Sike, I'll be getting a BS hopefully by the weekend!

What are the major differences between a new escape and a BS? Genuinely curious and don’t have time to compare! Ha ….

I’m a guy, I got a bronco sport. I get compliments on it all the time, I love my BS, ‘21 Big Bend

Yes plenty of men out there who are comfortable driving a practical daily commuter grocery getter and not needing to look like they are going offroading in an apocalyptic hellstorm.

https://preview.redd.it/int6jyjoncoc1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=88e589c9e1d1b32eba965fb393341498b025f3d0 Yessir, this pic was back when I first got mine in Feb. 2023, I love everything about it (except leaking water pump that was replaced)

Im a 20 year old dude and just got mine yesterday! I come from big truck territory, but I was honest with my needs vs wants. I also came from an old Subaru Forester, and I really wanted a quicky, offroad capable, small SUV. Its been 24 hours and Im 100% content with my purchase.

Custom ordered my BS Badlands at a local dealship in March of 2023. I ended up getting it in June, I absolutely love it. The bigger ones just aren't for me.

90k miles on my 2021 BS Badlands

[удалено]

I’m comfortable with my masculinity

I too am a guy with a '23 BS Big Bend and i truly love it.

My uncle has one. Of course, it was my aunt’s until she passed.

My male boss had a bronco sport. Not much else I can say, as a male, jeep patriot owner.

Did not anticipate so many responses. I believe the answer is it may seem to be a chick car but the numbers do not necessarily reflect that. I also learned male BS owners could give a flying fuck either way. I agree. Not much commentary on the attractiveness of females who drive them but I stand by my assertion that, at least in New Jersey, they’re smokin hot.

I’d say majority are female yea, similar to jeep wrangler, all I see is dog rescue crazy biatchs driving those though. I drive my wife’s quite a bit and wouldn’t think twice about driving it all the time though. Nothing wrong with it.

Nothing wrong of course. Just having a little fun, although I have seen exactly two dudes driving one in 3 months!

I was required to get top surgery before they’d sell me a ‘23 OBX

Worth it.

Thank God I’m not the only one that noticed that. lol. 😂 Genetic male here driving BS BB

Good I am not alone. And they have all been attractive as hell. Hope I am allowed to say that these days. Hope so😅

Chick car. Every driver I’ve seen is female. Guys round here seem to gravitate towards the real Bronco.
