Ok, about a 12th of the way through the 101 Cars I must drive…

I previously talked about the original off-road vehicle… the Jeep… but while they were the first to see civilian usage of four wheel drive vehicles, especially recreational four wheeling, they weren’t the only ones.  Ford jumped into the recreational market in 1966 with their competitor.

The Bronco

It was a bit bigger than the contemporary Jeeps.  It was more powerful… especially after Ford dropped the 289 in.  But the big different was under the front end.  Ford put coil springs under the front.  The radius arm suspension wasn’t amazing off-road, but the coils made for a more compliant ride on-road.

All in all, they are great vehicles.
