Hey gang! Just for some context, I have had a Bronco Wildtrak before getting the Raptor. One thing I try to always do is acknowledge another Bronco on the road, when I notice I just, pop up 4 fingers from the wheel and wave. When it's a Raptor, I probably fist-pump, lol. I appreciate it when someone acknowledges me from another Bronco. Do you all do a Bronco wave when you pass another?
 
I personally wave, but it is not returned. I receive a lot of waves from Jeep owners.
Welcome to BroncoRaptor.com! 🍻

When driving one of our Broncos, I also wave but almost never receive a wave in return from a Bronco or Jeep driver. When I drive my Wrangler I wave to other Jeep drivers and almost always receive a wave in return. I've concluded that when I drive my Jeep I have lots of Friends and when I drive one of our Broncos or another vehicle I loose all my Friends and have became just another lonely, but proud, driver. :giggle:
 
I have been a Jeep owner for over 2 decades and Bronco owner since September 2021 and I DON’T wave to these other vehicles. I am not a snob, it’s just that there are sooooo many Jeeps (and Broncos now) in NY that I would need to drive with my hand up all the time to acknowledge others. If someone waves to me, I will typically wave back.

I do however wave to all Harley riders when I am enjoying my 2 wheel toys and ALWAYS receive a reciprocal wave in return

That's about exactly my experience, lol. I love to see Broncos on the road. Every time I get in, I can't believe it's mine. I love any sense of community in life and I'll always wave, even if folks don't wave back. LOVE it when they do though

It's funny, I used to get sad when people didn't wave back and so I stopped. Now, I'm like, if you want it to be a thing, it starts with you (meaning me, lol), so now I do it no matter what. When I had my Wildtrak, I would look at Raptor drivers and feel SO less than. I was almost like, that's not really even a Bronco, that's like a spaceship or a Bentley. Now I have a Raptor and I wave at all the Broncos. I was like, see Raptorians are people too :).
 
I waved at a Braptor on Monday. He didn't wave back. About 15 minutes later, we ended up next to one another at the local car wash - he looked like a snobby a$$-clown so I just ignored him. It was a hand wash place and when I paid, the attendant says "we HATE washing these things - they're too damn high!" They have to use step ladders to get the roof and top middle of windshield and such. Said he always worries one of the washers will hit the truck with the ladder. In the JK, it's rare to not get a wave. On the Harley, most other riders wave. On the BMW GSA, most Harley riders don't wave.
 
Some of the Raptor owners are arse's. My parents have a neighbor with a heritage, and they don't wave to my kids (Base and Badlands). However he almost broke his arm to wave at my Raptor. So I called him out on it. :)
