With the announcement that Ford will bring back the Bronco before the decade is out and the fact that this can only cause a great deal of excitement this is the perfect time to look back at the first generation of the Bronco to make it difficult to argue against this awesome little SUV coming back.
First of all, the Bronco was built to be a competitor for the Jeep CJ-5 and the International Harvester Scout. When it arrived the Bronco offers the advantage of coil springs in the front suspension which helped to improve performance on and off the road. Another advantage to start with was the optional V8 engine which was not present on the other two competitors.
