Today on Donut, the team embarks on a wild adventure through the history of Ford Bronco, from the rugged OG to the modern-day iteration. Starting with the first generation, they dive into its raw simplicity and off-road prowess, showcasing its roots in off-road racing and the craftsmanship of designer McKinley Thompson. Transitioning to the second generation, they experience the beastly size and V8 power, noting its departure from the original's compact charm towards a more luxurious vibe. The team grapples with the floaty steering and hefty feel of the second gen, questioning its connection to the Bronco legacy.
Moving on to the third generation, they uncover the technical advancements and improved ride quality, highlighting the model's shift towards luxury and status. As they take the third gen for a spin, they find it smooth yet lacking the rugged character that defined the earlier Broncos. The team delves into its fuel efficiency and handling, ultimately rating it lower than its predecessors. The mixed reception and sales figures of the third gen set the stage for the introduction of the fourth generation, where Ford aims for a more aerodynamic design and modern performance enhancements.
As they test drive the fourth gen, they discover its improved fuel economy, safety features, and departure from the distinct Bronco identity. The team comments on its design similarities to other Ford models, signaling a shift towards a more generic look that struggles to capture the essence of the iconic Bronco. Despite its capabilities, the fourth gen faces challenges in sales, hinting at a potential loss of the Bronco's legendary status in the automotive world.
