About this generation

Ford replaced the original Bronco with a much larger second generation for 1978, moving it to a full-size SUV format based on the F-Series pickup architecture. This generation was sold in the United States for only two model years, 1978 and 1979. It was succeeded by the redesigned 1980 Bronco.
