When it comes to vehicles that combine ruggedness with versatility, the 2024 Ford Bronco stands out as a top choice. We had the pleasure of catching up with Jacob, an avid car enthusiast from Tennessee who runs a custom car shop, to learn about his experience with his new Bronco and why it’s perfect for Nashville’s unpredictable seasons.
Jacob’s First Impressions
For Jacob, the Ford Bronco was a game-changer from the start. “The Bronco just looks cool and there’s lots of customization options. For a winter car it just seemed right, and the price was good,” he shares. “It’s got this tough look I like since I work on a lot of square bodies.” From the moment he got behind the wheel, the G.O.A.T. modes, which form the terrain management system, and the well-designed interior stood out, making it a joy to drive, especially in the snowstorm that hit shortly after purchase.
Are Ford Broncos good in Snow? Thats a “YES”
Nashville winters can be tricky, but Jacob’s Bronco has been a revelation. “At first, I was like, ‘What is Goat mode?’” But when the roads froze this January, I looked for a traction feature and found the “Slippery” G.O.A.T. mode, which made the vehicle feel a lot easier to drive [in those conditions].”
“We just had a bad snowstorm too, and I felt a lot more confident driving around with the family on those roads. I traded in my Corvette for an SUV like this as winter got here because that car [the Corvette] was terrible in the snow. I trust the Ford Bronco in snow,” Jacob said. The advanced traction control, larger tires, and all-wheel drive make the Bronco a reliable companion in adverse weather.
More Uses for Ford Bronco GOAT Modes
As the seasons change, the Bronco continues to impress. “The Bronco is known to handle mud and rain well. It’s got great traction and stability, so I’m looking forward to doing some donuts in the backyard once spring gets here because I know it will be able to get back up the hill to our driveway,” Jacob enthuses. Springtime adventures become memorable experiences when the clay turns to mud. “My kids and I will love taking it out mudding when the weathers bad. The kids really like taking the roof off on sunny days or taking the doors off and going for a fun ride. It’s been a good replacement for our golf cart when I take them to visit their friends down the street.“ With uses like that, Jacob will probably want to invest in some Ford Bronco Mud Flaps for when his wife is following behind him when he shares the vehicle with family members or customers.
Ford Bronco Family-Friendly Features
Jacob’s Bronco isn’t just for him; it’s a family affair. “My wife and kids like it. It has plenty of space for the kids and all their stuff, and the safety features make my wife feel safe. It’s a good car. I like that it’s easy to clean when I go to tractor supply to get stuff for our chickens, and the cupholders fit my protein shakes.”
A Customized Ford Bronco with Genuine Ford Bronco Accessories
As a customization expert, Jacob has big plans for his Bronco, especially focusing on genuine Ford accessories. “I’ll probably start with some custom wheels and a lift kit, and add some off-road lights to give it that classic truck look. There‘s a lot to choose from, so I have to look at the Ford options and aftermarket accessories, too.” Jacob’s passion for personalization ensures his Bronco will be unique and suited to his needs. “It’s going to be an awesome custom Ford Bronco when I’m finished with it!”
Some of the genuine Ford Bronco accessories Jacob can choose from to make his truck a fully customized Ford Bronco include:
– Ford Bronco Mud Flaps (AKA Splash Guards): To protect the Bronco from mud and debris after a day of off-road adventures.
–All-Weather Floor Liners: To keep the interior clean, even in muddy or snowy conditions.
–Off-Road Lights: To improve visibility during nighttime off-road trips.
–Sasquatch Fender Flare Kit: To upgrade its appearance and protection from stones and mud while maintaining clearance for oversized tires.
–Tube Door Kit: To enjoy an open-air driving experience.
–Performance and High Clearance Exhaust Kits
–Underhood air compressor kit: To re-inflate tires after airing down on off-road adventures, or to inflate rafts and water sports equipment.

Safety and Peace of Mind
Safety is a top priority for Jacob, and the Bronco doesn’t disappoint.
In fact, Jacob recalls an instance when the Bronco’s safety features made a significant difference. “There was this one time when we hit a patch of black ice, and the Bronco handled it like a pro. The traction control kicked in immediately, and I was able to regain control without any issues. I had to make a long trip all the way out to Franklin, and it felt a lot safer than my client’s car I picked up.”
The Ford Bronco Community
For Jacob, owning a new Ford Bronco has also meant becoming part of a passionate and welcoming community. “Bronco owners love their cars, and it’s been great connecting with other enthusiasts and sharing ideas for my next build. Everyone is unique.”
