context_page_description: The Ford Bronco is a model line of SUVs that were manufactured and marketed by Ford from 1965 to 1996. The first sport-utility vehicle marketed by Ford, the Bronco was initially a compact design based on its own chassis, competing against the Jeep CJ-5 and International Harvester Scout. For 1978, the Bronco became a shortened version of the F-Series pickup truck for its next four generations; the full-size Bronco competed against the Chevrolet K5 Blazer and Dodge Ramcharger.
  Sharing only its nameplate with the Bronco, the Ford Bronco II was a compact SUV based on the Ford Ranger for the 1984 to 1990 model years.
  Following declining demand for two-door SUVs during the 1990s, Ford discontinued the Bronco after the 1996 model year, replacing it with the four-door Ford Expedition.
  For the 2021 model year, Ford reintroduced the Bronco SUV after a 25-year hiatus. With both two- and four-door versions, the Bronco is now packaged as a mid-sized competitor to the Jeep Wrangler. It was introduced together with a compact crossover SUV called the Ford Bronco Sport.
  From 1965 to 1996, Broncos were produced by Ford at its Michigan Truck Plant in Wayne, Michigan.
context_section_description: At the 2004 North American International Auto Show, a Ford Bronco concept vehicle was unveiled.  Inspired by the first-generation (1966-1977) Ford Bronco, the 2004 concept adapted a short wheelbase, round headlamps, and squared-off roofline; the concept marked one of the first uses of a three-bar grille on Ford vehicles.  Using a minimalist exterior design, the Bronco design was unveiled alongside a Shelby Cobra Concept at the same show.
  Using the Ford CD2 platform of the Ford Escape, the Bronco concept was powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder turbodiesel (from the Ford Mondeo) and a six-speed manual transmission.  Replacing ControlTrac II, an "Intelligent" 4-wheel drive system was intended for improved stability and fuel economy.
  Dwayne Johnson's character drives the Bronco concept in his 2018 movie, Rampage.
