I guess it was her turn to be the first kid on the block to have one.

I would take that over the Expedition/Navigator any day!

Broncos have sure become popular around Oklahoma City and I see those and Jeep Wranglers more and more all the time. Many are tricked out with lift kits, bigger wheels, winches, special suspension, etc. and most look so clean they haven't ever been taken off road.
Cha-ching! Nice ride.

And on a Moderators salary...

I wouldn't have chose that, but it is fun to drive.
She initially said she wanted an F-150 just like mine. I went up to the dealership, did some recon and had them value her 2018 Explorer. They had one white F-150 with a V8 in stock, but I also thought she'd like this:
I took her to the dealership to see what I found. We walked the showroom floor while waiting to talk to our salesman and spotted the Bronco. It wasn't there a half hour earlier. It's a new 2023 that was marked down over $18K and Ford offered an additional $5K off a B-Raptor if you trade in a vehicle.
She was grinning ear to ear when she looked it over. I asked her if she'd want a thing like that and she told me, OH YEAH!
I don't see any mud bogging, dune jumping or rock climbing in her future, but it should be OK in the snow.
I thought my tires looked big, until she parked it in the driveway.

Ford hit a home run with the new Bronco. Everyone I have talked to loves theirs. May it provide many safe and trouble free miles!
My wife did the same thing. Decided it was time to ditch the Audi Q7 which was absolutely the nicest most luxurious vehicle I've ever sat in, for a Bronco Outer Banks edition. Complete with V6 twin turbo and 32" tires.
There's a Bronco jamboree in Townsend TN in the Smokies every year. I know a few who attend, it's epic.
You know she needs a 1911 in a carved holster to go with that.

Hate to say it old boy but she pretty much emasculated you right there!
Go ahead and turn in your man card and moderator badge and join the quilting club.

I got my wife a Ford Maverick. They're cheap compared to regular, real trucks, but honest to goodness she can't climb up into anything higher off the ground! Her brother carries a small step stool in his truck for her. She's < 5feet tall...
I wish I could get my wife to look at a new vehicle. She still drives her 1997 Cougar XR7. The 4.6 with the HP chip is pretty peppy but she dogs it around. 90,000 miles.
OP
Mrs Chad is the quilter. I do get to drive it, but I actually prefer my truck. It has more room, rides better and is faster.
She told me she was stopped at a light next to a cop yesterday and he was eyeing the B-Raptor bigtime. I'm hardwiring in a radar detector today...
Watching my wife get in and out is pretty entertaining. I'm 6'5" and it's a good 4" drop to the ground for me!
She like to take Scout to the park and the trails at the local community college. There's a perfect doggy containment area in the back. Scout seems to enjoy it!

Great ride. She'll be safe and comfortable in style.
