Bronco Shorts
Description: The Ford Bronco is a model line of sport utility vehicles manufactured and marketed by Ford. The first SUV model developed by the company, five generations of the Bronco were sold from the 1966 to 1996 model years. A sixth generation of the model line is sold from the 2021 model year.[1] The nameplate has been used on other Ford SUVs, including the 1984-1990 Ford Bronco II compact SUV and the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport compact CUV.
Description: For the 1978 model year, the second-generation Bronco was introduced; to better compete with the K5, Ramcharger, and Cherokee, the Bronco arrived as a full-size SUV. In place of a model-specific chassis, the Bronco was adapted directly from the F-Series, becoming a shortened version of the F-100 4x4. Originally intended for a 1974 launch, the second-generation Bronco (named "Project Shorthorn" during its development) was postponed to 1978 in response to fuel economy concerns related to the 1973 fuel crisis; the second-generation Bronco was actually released for sale after development was nearly finalized on its 1980 successor. the second-generation Bronco proved successful, overtaking the Blazer and Ramcharger in sales for the first time.
