Generations of Ford Broncos
The Ford Bronco made its first appearance back in 1966 as a vehicle without any roofs or doors giving it a very sporty appearance which was Ford's Original All-Purpose Vehicle.
After 1977 which ended the first generation of Bronco vehicles, Bronco sales reached record levels after the launch of the 2nd generation Bronco in 1978. The first two years of the larger and more luxurious Bronco were some of the most popular of its 30-year production run as the vehicles upped its toughness game with off-road-ready features.
By 1980, the third generation of Bronco was born making their cars lighter, more fuel-efficient, and had more interior options than ever. Major changes were made using an independent front suspension (Twin-Traction Beam) to improve ride characteristics while not compromising ground clearance in rough terrain.
The 4th Generation of Ford Broncos also known as the Aerodynamic Age began in 1987 as the vehicles boasted a more aerodynamic silhouette than its "bull nose" predecessors. Right angles and jutting edges gave way to dynamic sloping lines for the body, bumpers and mirrors, and headlights were flush with the front end. It was also in this year that the anti-lock braking technology was introduced in the 2WD models.
And finally, before it was phased out of the market forever in 1996, the 5th generation of Ford Broncos was also known as the generation that the Ford Bronco Original Body Style was born as the 1992 vehicles boasted cleaner lines-particularly on the front end-than earlier series.
