Ford Bronco
Muscle · Ford
Ford's off-road SUV. The 2021+ revival brought back the iconic boxy design. Raptor variant for high-speed off-road, Wildtrak for daily off-road.
The Ford Bronco was originally produced from 1965 to 1996 and revived in 2021 after a 25-year hiatus. The original Bronco was Ford answer to the Jeep CJ, with serious off-road capability and rugged styling. The 2021+ Bronco continues that legacy with two-door and four-door body styles, removable doors and roof, and genuine off-road capability. The Bronco competes directly with the Jeep Wrangler in the off-road SUV segment. The Bronco offers turbocharged 2.3 four-cylinder, twin-turbo 2.7 V6, or supercharged 5.0 V8 engines (Bronco Raptor). Manual transmission availability differentiates the Bronco from competitors. Off-road capability includes locking differentials, removable sway bars, and various other off-road accessories. The Bronco Raptor (2022+) is the high-performance variant. 3.0 EcoBoost V6 making 418 horsepower, Fox internal bypass shocks, 37-inch tires, and aggressive aero. The Raptor competes with the Jeep Wrangler 392 (with Hemi V8) and other extreme off-road variants. On WhipJury, Bronco submissions are increasingly active. Raptor and Wildtrak variants reliably do well. Lifted Broncos with various aftermarket modifications appear regularly.

Round headlights are returning on the Ford Bronco, Fiat 500e, Renault 4 E-Tech and Mini after decades of narrow, angular lamps. It reads as nostalgia but it's really a technology story: LEDs freed designers from the big reflector a halogen bulb needed, so shape became free.
