Ford Bronco

Ford Bronco Australia

 

Ford’s resurrected Bronco has proven to be a major hit in the US, but there’s still no concrete signs for the off-road SUV coming to Australia.

That’s despite the Bronco sharing the same ladder-frame underpinnings as the Ranger ute, Ford Australia’s most popular model, meaning a right-hand-drive conversion should be easy – at least in theory.

Still, once the Bronco hype dies down in the US, it could free up supply for export markets like Australia, or even enough of a batch to right-hand-drive remanufacture like Ford has done so with the F-150.

The line-up currently starts at $8,910 for the Bronco (4X4) and ranges through to $12,540 for the range-topping Bronco (4X4).

Ford offers the Bronco in 11 colours on most models in the range. The Heritage edition is limited to five colours (black, blue, red and two greys) but is available with a unique white roof - instead of the black top on other models.
