Hi all!

First of all I LOVE the big Broncos. Have always liked them but never had the opportunity to own one (have owned a Bronco II and several F150's and an F250).

Anyway, my son is a Blazer lover (YUK!) and we got into a discussion. I think I'm right and he thinks I'm nuts. Can anyone give me details on the run of the Bronco and the Bronco II. Was the bronco II only manufactured when the big Bronco wasn't? I think there are years where both were manufactured, but he thinks it was either one or the other.

I've been all over the web looking and can find the answer. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Sandy

 

I've found both Broncos in several years, but what I'm looking for is the run of each style.


Thanks

 

The Bronco II started in 1984, and ended I think when the Explorer 2-door came out ('91 or '92, I think). The Big Bronco was made from 1978 to 1996, so both vehicles were in simultaneous production for probably 8 years.

 

B2's ended in 90 i thought, i could be wrong

 

Go to autozone, ask for a part from a ford bronco, they'll ask "What year" say 90... Ford... then they'll ask if it's a Bronco or Bronco II. Proof that both existed in, at the very least, that year. (They wouldn't have listings for a vehicle that didn't exist, because they would never have parts for it)

 

...or would they?............

 

Whatever year the Exploder started was the end of the BII. I know a guy that has a '90 BII, so it existed then for sure. I'm gonna say '91, 'cause '92 is the earliest I can remember the Exploder being out.

 

Ha Ha Ha!!! I know ecxactly what you mean ANdrewdrice!

 

The little Bronco II was made from 1984 to 1990 which is seven years of production. The big Bronco was made from 1978 to 1996. Hope this helps in the debate.

 

91 is the last year for the bronco 2 because my roomate has one

 

My X is a 91... so unless they produced it and the B2 sim. then 90 was the last B2 year.

But both Bronco's were built sim from 84-90... My B2 was an 85, and the full size I have now is an 85.

I liked my B2, it was a descent rig for getting around in the woods and all, just lacked towing power and the ability to pull much of anything out of a hole if they were stuck... My full size makes up for those shortcomings, but won't fit down some of the old ATV trails I used to take my B2 down.

The X is a good median, with the 4.0L or now days they have the V-8 models you have plenty of power, but it's not a bohemith like the full size Bronco...

V-8 would be nice, but who wants to take a new 30+K X where I take my old Bronco or my old X... that would be crazy!

 

Thank you all so much. You have answered my question.
