The second-gen Ford Bronco was the first full-size SUV that Ford produced, developed directly from the F-Series pickup trucks. The second-gen Bronco was only available for 2 years before the third-gen was introduced. It was available in 2 trim packages, the Custom, or base package, and the high-end Ranger XLT. Styling was shared with the F-Series pickup trucks, and showcases a 'free-wheeling' aesthetic, common in the late 1970s.
