I bought a new 1988 Bronco. Loaded XLT, regatta blue with white top. LOVED IT. Drove it over 235,000 miles. Regretfully let it go in 2003 for an Expedition.
The 2021 Bronco takes its styling cues from the 1966 Bronco. Much the same way Ford did with the 2005 Mustang and the 1960’s Mustang. Cool comparison video!
Hard to believe this vehicle was released around 5 years before you were born and I was still in high school, haha! I know it's hard for young people to get down with the old school Bronco but you did really good in driving and explaining everything, lol 😄
If you acrually measure the new one instead of going by info on the internet you will find it's much smaller but ford ncluded the spare tire and fender flares in their dimensions.
That 1988 Full Size Bronco Is a Short wheel. base F Series Pickup The New Bronco Is based Of The 1st Gen All Full size Broncos 1978-1996. Were short Wheel base F series.
I sure wish that Ford built the new Bronco like the 1966 - 1977 broncos in size . For did get it right with the Bronco II .in size . If they only kept that size into the new Bronco . It did not need to be fat and big like it is .
Yeah these are a bit bigger than a Wrangler even. But in todays market they just have to comply with regulations and things for safety. So there's only so small they could have made it most likely
They can make small cars ! They can built the Bronco's smaller and still be safe . But small cars in the mid 60's and up to the 90 was smaller than the cars we have today . Even the fiat is fat .
The new Bronco I think uses a framework similar if not based on the ranger platform, a Bronco II and the original first gen might be a cool comparison.
The size of the new Bronco is kinda in between the original/Bronco II, and the Full size Bronco (like the '88).. the new one in this video looks big because its a Badlands trim, which has bigger tires and sits higher, my Big Bend would look even smaller than the 88..
How ironic I just saw an identical BRONCO to the one in the video earlier this week. It is the ONLY 2 DOOR BRONCO or B.S. in COS, CO. All others no matter what color or trim level are 4 DOOR.
After awhile it can get a little annoying especially if you are out on the highway! Nothing wrong with it, but to drive it everyday, it's pretty loud...and you know what I meant :)
I'm sorry. The new Bronco is based on 1977 or older. The Bronco you're driving is not a straight axle it's a twin beam. My 78 bronco would be a closer truck to a new Bronco. I've driven every year Bronco. Thos sucks. Good luck on this comparison.
