I went on a trip with my parents earlier this year to the PNW and we rented a wrangler. When my mom was driving the wrangler she was confused why other wranglers we're waving at her until I explained it to her. She was then super excited about the wave every time and waved at every jeep that passed by.

Recently I was talking to her on the phone and she asked me why wranglers were no longer waving at her when she waves at them on the road. She doesn't own a wrangler or any sort of jeep and I thought it was the cutest that she still wanted a wave back. I think she might have waved at a few broncos and gladiators on that trip as well šŸ˜

I wave at them. Why?

The Bronco forced FCA to get off their a$$e$ and incorporate some things that should have been there all along.

It took competition from the Bronco to make that happen.

Thanks Ford.

Around here, you see more Broncos sitting for sale on non-Ford dealer lots, than on the streets.

When I come upon another 4x4 vehicle out on a trail I always wave. On the highway, pretty much never, unless I know the person.

Iā€™ll wave at a Bronco no problem just like I do Gladiators. Seriously, the only Jeeps I donā€™t wave at are any type of angry grill.
I feel like waving at a gladiator is always forgivable since it takes a pretty trained eye to tell the different between a JT and JL from the front. I wave even when I do catch it. They're close enough.

First Jeep wave I received was from a Gladiator. šŸ‘

Likewise. Iā€™ll wave at a Chevy on a dirt road more often than a Jeep on the highway. My response is inversely proportional to population density.

I will wave at a Bronco if it looks like it's done up right for wheeling, it's dirty, or the driver is enthusiastic about my rig first. I've come across all three scenarios pretty often so far - it's sort of a "okay, yeah, you went there and have a big brick of an off road rig - nice" wave to me. A united front of 14MPG and being blown all over the road by crosswind, and going to work on Monday with your interior covered in trail dust.

I don't typically wave at mall crawlers on 20s+, beat up stock JKs that have never seen dirt, angry grills, etc. Typically the waves don't come from those types anyways.

Waved at two Broncos the other day just because. The guy driving the 4-door waved back. The gal driving the 2-door Sasquatch didn't seem to notice.

But I thought that we were really just waving goodbye to our wallets all this time. šŸ¤”
