STORY

The Bronco is Ford's rugged body-on-frame SUV, launched in 1966 and revived in 2021 after a 25-year break to compete with the Jeep Wrangler. The new sixth-generation Bronco is a serious off-roader again: it has removable doors and roof, available two- and four-door bodies, and a purpose-built ladder-frame chassis. It drew a lot of attention and brought back a name linked to Baja racing and the first SUVs.
