The Ford Bronco is a model line of SUVs that were manufactured and marketed by Ford from 1965 to 1996 over five generations. After the first generation of the Bronco was introduced as a competitor to compact SUVs (including the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout), the succeeding four generations of the Bronco were full-sized SUVs, competing against the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and others. Ford has built the Bronco in five generations: 1st Gen (1966-1977), 2nd Gen (1978-1979), 3rd Gen (1980-1986), 4th Gen (1987-1991), 5th Gen (1992-1996), and 6th Gen (2021-).
