Made For All Adventures Inspired by war heroes and thrill-seekers, it was understood by Ford Motor Company that customers were looking for a vehicle that could traverse through trailheads, ranches, and trout streams with ease and dependability. Its G.O.A.T. roots date back to 1965 when product manager Donald Frey and lead designer Lee Iacocca established the first generation of Ford Bronco history. What began as a dream exhilarated the scene for more than a decade, and featured an all-purpose Roadster, a Sport Utility half cab, and a Wagon body style. In 1978, the second-generation arose to a more stout body style sharing segments with Ford F-Series pickups and more luxurious offerings. A year later, the third-generation Ford Bronco (1980-1986) rolled out boasting a smoother ride and better fuel economy. Generation 4 (1987-1991) began the "Aerodynamic Age" for enhancing powertrain and anti-lock braking technology, while Generation 5 (1992-1996) sealed the 30-year Ford Bronco run with premium sound and power windows and door locks. Each chapter of the legacy adds to the proud Ford Bronco history in 2021.
