Talk:Ford Bronco

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Um, you all need to get your facts correct. For an encyclopedia there are way too many errors of facts on this page for me to even want to check any other pages. I will never use this site for detailed complete information. The other engines offered in the full size Bronco are the 351 Windsor, 300 inline six, and the 351 modified/400 in edition to the engines you have stated. This is written to strongly suggest that the full size Bronco was not made for a solid 30 years, 1966-1996. You also forget to mention the k-5 Blazer as competition for the Bronco.There are 5 generations of Broncos as follows: 1966-77, 78-79, 80-86, 87-91, and 92-96. This article is so poorly written it infuriates me! There is plenty more information out there on Broncos. I wanted to give the writers of this a heads up and a few basic facts of the Bronco lineage. I have no more time to write about this.

I fixed some things. I still am looking for production figures, and a couple years powertrain offerings may be a little off but they are close.--Pmeisel 16:23, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Errors in Bronco entry...

Too many errors. The categories are: '66-'77 (early Broncos), '78-'79 (full size Broncos), and the '80-'96 (also full size Broncos).

First, the '78-'79 was a different concept compared to the '80-'96 Bronco. The only engines available in '78-'79 were the 400/351M (not "modified" as sometimes described, but only a letter designation to differentiate it from the 351C (Cleveland) and 351W (Windsor)engines). The 351M and 400 engines are identical except for crankshaft throw and piston height.

The '80-'96 Broncos were designed to be more "boulevard" friendly, while the '78-'79 were considered to be "work" trucks. From '78 on to '96, the Bronco was largely based on the F-150 (not the F-100) pickup chasis and shared many body, suspension and drivetrain components.

Considerable, and accurate, technical information can be found at http://fullsizebronco.com/forum/index.php which is a board for Bronco enthusiasts.

I'm a former owner of a '79 Bronco Custom, and current owner of an '89 Bronco Eddie Bauer edition.

Most of the Bronco owners I know would argue that a Bronco is a truck, not an SUV. No cupholders. 24.178.126.182 02:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Updated

Not too many errors actually. If '78-'79 is a category based on some small changes, then we'd have to breakout parts of the '66-'77 too. No reason for it. It's all big bronco.

[edit] Picture Submission for subcategory

I'd like to submit a picture of my 78 ford bronco for the second generation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Magley64 (talk • contribs) 16:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
