A Year of Evolution
The 1975 Ford Bronco marked a turning point in the model’s first-generation run. While its shape and spirit remained the same, Ford introduced several refinements that elevated its drivability and durability. It was the year the Bronco became more than an off-road utility vehicle—it became an American icon.
Tougher, smoother, and easier to handle, the 1975 Bronco captured the best of both worlds: timeless style and forward-thinking engineering.

The Bronco Grows Up
By 1975, the Bronco wasn’t just for ranchers and explorers—it had found its way into suburban driveways and coastal communities. It became a symbol of freedom and self-expression, equally at home hauling gear to the lake or pulling up to dinner downtown.
This model year represented Ford’s dedication to evolution without compromise: the balance between grit and grace that defines the Bronco legacy.
