Introduced in March 1983, Ford marketed the Bronco II as a “vehicle for men, single people, or young couples ... almost like John Wayne vehicles ... that gave people the sense that they could conquer anything ...” While the Bronco II was nearly a foot shorter than the competing Chevrolet S-10 Blazer (introduced for 1982), the use of the Ranger chassis allowed for lower production costs by using a common assembly line with many shared components.Competition to this Bronco II in 1984 included Chevrolet’s S-10 Blazer, GMC’s S-15 Jimmy, Isuzu’s Trooper, Jeep’s CJ-7 and Cherokee XJ, Mitsubishi’s Montero and Toyota’s 4Runner.Classic Ford Truck fans, if you want something unique for your collection, even if you simply put it on a pedestal versus driving it, this 1984 Ford Bronco II XLT 4x4 might just be up your alley.
