From the beginning to the present, it’s clear that the Bronco was designed to make history. Stop in at our Ford dealer in Columbus, GA, to see how the 2021 Ford Bronco has embraced this vehicle’s legacy with a modern twist.

Innovation From The Start

Design and development for the Bronco began in 1956. With the influence of McKinley Thompson, Jr. at the helm, the first sketches of this SUV evolved. Thompson’s love for Matchbox cars played a role, yet he and Ford designer Christopher Young wanted to create a vehicle that would differentiate Ford from other manufacturers.

The two led a team to create a vehicle with a rich history that has been brought back to the forefront. The 2021 Ford Bronco still includes many of the iconic elements that have influenced automotive design not just for Ford, but also other manufacturers.

A Wild History Full Of Thrilling Adventures

The first model year for the Ford Bronco was 1966. The First-Generation Bronco was deemed the ‘all-purpose vehicle’ without a roof or doors. Until 1977, the first-generation model of the Bronco from Ford dealers across the world offered rugged good looks and advanced stability and capability.

The Second-Generation Bronco only saw two model years from 1978 to 1979, but the design showcased a bigger and more rugged style. The 4×4 featured similar body style components as the F-series truck and moved to a larger platform. By the launch of the third-generation in 1980, this vehicle experienced a major comfort upgrade. This model featured a switch to an independent front suspension for a smoother ride.

From 1987 to 1991, Ford dealers noticed a major change to the design of this premium SUV. Instead of a boxy look, the Ford Bronco took on more of an aerodynamic design with sculpted edges. Safety updates were also upgraded when engineering the fourth generation. By 1992, the fifth-generation arrived, bringing back the original body style with some modern upgrades. This model was only in operation until 1996. Unfortunately, the popular SUV took a hiatus for a while.

The Latest Addition To The Family

The return of this innovative vehicle brings not only nostalgia but also a thrilling drive. Drivers will soon notice that the Bronco family has much more to offer than any other generation. The legend has returned with more intuitive design elements, technology, safety features, and capabilities. The 2021 models, including the standard and sport models, are loaded with 4×4 capabilities, two and four-door options, and driver-assist technologies.

Drive with confidence when backed by forward collision alerts, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-keeping assist capabilities. You’ll also find power with engine options, such as a 2.3L turbo I-4 that delivers 270 horses and a 2.7L twin-turbo V6 with 310 horses.
