It was small when the original Bronco was created!
The new Ford Bronco will be available. The reborn offroader was originally expected to be unveiled in April. However, Coronavirus forced Ford a delay of a few months. The automaker confirmed that the new Bronco will be revealed in spring. We may not get the full details until June or July. YouTuber Mr. The chart shows the evolution of the Bronco over the years. Ford targeted the first-generation model at smaller off-road competitors such as the Jeep CJ-5 or International Harvester Scout in 1965 with the arrival of the first-generation model. There were many options for the compact Bronco, including a roofless/doorless version and an enclosed wagon or pickup truck model.
The introduction of the second-generation Bronco in 1978 marked a significant shift. The off-roader was no longer a small CJ option. It went full-size with a Ford-based body and frame. F-Series. The rear seats were protected by a removable fiberglass hardtop. The second-generation Bronco, despite the F-Series bones retained a coil-sprung axle in the front instead of the twin I-beam layout found on pickup trucks.
Bronco evolutions became essentially facelifts or technology updates, which corresponded to various F-Series generation. For the 1980 model year, the third-generation Bronco was introduced. It omitted the solid axle in the front to make way for Ford’s twin-I-beam design. In 1987 saw the fourth generation redesign with flush headlights. The final fifth-generation Bronco was introduced for the 1992 model year. In 1996, the last Bronco was produced. This brings us to 2020. The video then ends with a look on the BroncoR Baja racing car that Ford unveiled last year to give a glimpse of what’s next. The sixth-generation will be a smaller Jeep fighter with removable tops and doors. It will be available in a two-door and a four-door version, as per numerous patent applications. This is identical to the Jeep Wrangler.
