Ford built the original Bronco in 1966 to be a formable off-road vehicle able to compete with the likes of the Jeeps, Internationals’ Scout and Land Rovers. Ford built an entirely original platform, borrowing only a few parts from the F-100 truck. The early Bronco was designed with a short wheelbase, utilizing a multi-link coil-spring front suspension. The design produced an off-road vehicle with great wheel travel and a tight turning radius. The timeless ascetics, backed by a solid foundation, have made the first generation of Broncos a favorite in the off-road and aftermarket industries. The Bronco received a major redesign in 1979. It was shorter and had cosmetic changes along with powertrain and suspension. In 1983, the Bronco II was introduced, which offered 4-wheel drive as an option.

Over the years, the Bronco evolved from a compact off-roader to a full-size SUV in 1978, before being discontinued in 1996. After a 25-year hiatus, Ford revived the Bronco in 2021, bringing back its legendary off-road prowess with modern technology and styling.
