6 Generations of Bronco Evolution: Styling, Performance, Size, Price

[Pancho Kornwallace]

Why are the 3rd, 4th and 5th gen's in this picture Right Hand drives??

They are likely all left hand drives, but a few of the pictures had the Broncos facing the wrong way, so they got flipped.

Can I get a new 1966 Bronco for $17,621 please? ?

How about another graphic showing the curb weights and hp per lb?

Take the Base 2021 Bronco, delete cost of the air conditioner, touch screen, navigation system, Sync 4, the stereo system, back seats, air bags, NHTSA safety like crumple zones, swap out the engine for a 1.5 liter 3 cylinder (181HP) and you can get it down to that price.

DONE!!! Where can I send my deposit?

It absolutely blows my mind that the Bronco is as cheap as it is. The increased safety content, technology and engineering prowess put into the 6th generation is unbelievable compared to any other generation, and at a price that compares to 1980 pricing.

For the folks complaining about how expensive Bronco is, the inflation-adjusted base price in today's dollars for each generation is listed below. One can also infer that as you go up trim level and add content, the prices will continue to climb. For every dope on here who spouts off something along the lines of "If they are going to get me to buy a $50K Bronco, it better darn well do (insert outlandish claim here)", I think of these prices, and how utterly stupid arguments are that somehow $50K in 2020 (or 2022 ) is somehow an astronomically expensive vehicle.

It amazes me how inefficient early V8s were And how folks complain today about not having those V-8’s. Those are the V8s sucked as far as production. Now, today’s V8s can be awesome, but old ones? Weak sauce.

I want 400h/500t in my Bronco. Any more will get me killed.

You obviously do not understand why the EPA neutered all vehicles not just V8s. It was not because they could not be awesome, but were built that way due to regulations. Same reason why we are driving over revved car motors in a truck now days.

Torque number, please only quote low rpm torque numbers.

Inflation never does.

Go buy a $70K Tundra and stop being pissed off here.

They left out the Bronco II.

We’ll pair that with the BRONCO Sport

Having owned them all, I can say the 6G is more Bronco II than EB. Definitely not Sport ancestor.

Has nothing to do with the EPA actions, you are overlooking that people are coveting those neutered V8's....

The sport should not be a bronco just like the new blazer shouldn’t actually be named a blazer. It’s an SUV they couldn’t come up with a name for so they slapped an old model name on it. The sport is like Eddie’s children from Christmas Vacation. Part of the griswold family but with an asterisk.
