Talk about massive and brute. Ford has such a knack for creating gigantic loaded utility machines that never ceases to amaze many. And looking back to one of the first-utility vehicles, the Ford Bronco was released in 1965 to compete against Jeeps CJ- and International Harvester Scout. The first Bronco trucks were primitive without power steering and automatic transmission. It was chiefly an Off-Road vehicle. It had a 92 in wheelbase that was amazing for off-road driving but was not yet prepped as a towing machine. However, despite its fair towing capabilities, the truck sold very well for its first year. It has since then become the forerunner of all other compact SUVs produced by Ford. The first generation of Ford Bronco was equipped with Ford Falcons 105 hp 6-cylinder with a 3speed manual transmission with a column-mounted shifter. By 1966, the 289 hp V8 was introduced, still with a 3speed manual. Most had rear shock absorbers that angled forward in front of the axle with stud mounts at the top. The truck design was simplistic and economical as it was colossal. It had simple box-section ladder frame with a C-section bumpers. All glass was flat, and the door skins were identical. The truck was offered in wagon, halfcab, and roadster configurations. However, the roadster option was not very popular and was dropped after 1986. The truck was loaded with a standard 14.5 gallon gas with an optional 11.5 gallon second tank available. Additional features for the 1966 model were snow plow kits, tow hooks, winches, tachometers, and air lift front auxiliary springs. By 1967, the Sport Packaged debuted. The package features head and tail lamp bezels, side window frames, bumpers and front guards, chrome plated grilles, and 15 wheel covers. Upon the onset of the full-sized Chevrolet Blazer in 1969, Ford Bronco was further upgraded to compete with the fast rising new comer. The engine was upped to a whopping 302 hp V8. The Sport Package now had pleated parchment interior and aluminium door panel trims. By 1972, the Ranger Package was introduced. It consisted of new stripes, deluxe wheel covers, argent grille, and wood grained door panel trims. However, competition became stiffer with the Blazer and the Scout two almost dominating the market. So, by 1973, Ford offered optional the C4 automatic transmission as well as power steering. And just two years after, unleaded fuel engines and catalytic converters were added to the Bronco in accordance to the increasingly strict emissions requirements. And in this generations last year, a 14.4 plastic gas tank and an 8 gallon auxiliary tank was placed on the Bronco. The 1978 welcomed the era of the Big Bronco. The trucks design was now based on the F-100 truck, thus it shared many chassis, drivetrain, and body components with the pick-up. It was equipped with either a 315M or 400 V8 engine with a standard 4speed manual transmission and an optional 3-speed automatic. Two years after, Ford converted the Bronco with the Twin Traction Beam front suspension and offered three engines: a 300 CI inline 6 became the standard motor but with manual transmission only; optional engines included the 302 and 351 cid V-8's. Also, the dimensions of the truck were reduced by 2.7 inches in length and 1.1 inches in width. The Ford Bronco went through a lot of engine and transmission changes and was constantly upgraded in terms of motor and minor facelifts. And on the 25th anniversary of the Bronco, a Silver Anniversary Edition was released. The Special edition Bronco was only offered in Currant Red with gray leather interior. By 1992, the truck made its final major facelift with safety in mind. Changes included a slicker exterior, power mirrors, power windows, and rear shoulder seat belts. The driver-side airbags were not introduced until after 1994. The year 1996 was the last year of the Ford Bronco as the Ford Expedition was introduced to the market. Despite its demise, the Ford Bronco remains one of the sturdiest full-size SUVs ever produced. Headlights by State:
