BRONCOFACTS Trail guide · 1966–present

Scope & coverage

US-first Ford Bronco chronology, with Bronco II and Bronco Sport retained as related families in the underlying release.

What's covered

BroncoFacts is a US-first, evidence-backed reference and owner's field guide to the Ford Bronco. It's organised on the model-year axis: year pages are the chronological spine, and running changes live inside years as phases.

It is not a substitute for a manufacturer certificate, title search, professional inspection, appraisal, or recall remedy. It doesn't certify authenticity, value, or condition, and it doesn't host firmware, key material, or emissions/theft-deterrent bypasses.

The 1997–2020 gap is a fact

No model year offered

2003 – 2009

The production Bronco ended after 1996 and returned for 2021. The catalog represents 1997–2020 as an explained gap, never as missing data.
