Ford Bronco Visual History

Long before the F-150 Raptor was a thing, the Ford Bronco was the Blue Oval’s off-road icon. Originally conceived in the 1960s as a more versatile alternative to existing four-by-fours such as the Jeep CJ and the International Harvester Scout, the rugged Bronco would morph over the years into a proper full-size SUV, spawn a pint-size spinoff in the Bronco II, and eventually go out of production in 1996 as four-door ’utes both big and small took over the market. Now Ford’s Bronco is back and ready to crawl over its competition. Click through for a look back at how the Bronco earned its stripes and why the all-new version is a big deal here >
