When it comes to iconic vehicles, the list would be incomplete without mention of the Ford Bronco. This rough-and-ready SUV debuted in 1966, joining another classic—the Ford Mustang—in the Ford lineup. It was, however, quite different from the popular muscle car. In fact, the Bronco was the first vehicle marketed specifically as a "Sports Utility Vehicle." Its unique style and capability made it an instant classic in the industry.
Today's Ford Bronco has shifted to meet the needs of modern drivers while still holding onto its claim as a rugged vehicle for all terrains. It can easily handle winter weather, heavy rains, unpaved roads, and everything in between. If you're shopping on a budget and want to take advantage of the Bronco's impressive versatility, finding a used Ford Bronco for sale here at DePaula Ford is a great option. Our knowledgeable and friendly sales team can help you narrow your selection to ensure a stress-free shopping experience. Continue reading to learn more about the Ford Bronco through the years and how our team can help you find the right one for your needs.
The Ford Bronco was initially introduced for the 1966 model year. It took inspiration from Ford's involvement in developing a dependable four-wheel drive vehicle for soldiers in World War II that could handle various driving conditions, which later became known as the Jeep. During the war, Ford produced more than 250,000 Jeeps, and afterward the brand realized the concept could meet civilians' desire to hit the open roads and trails with ease. With this in mind, the brand worked to develop its own four-wheel drive vehicle, and the Bronco was born.
Of course, there are many differences between that first Bronco and the used models you'll find on our lot today, but many things remain the same. For instance, the brand's dedication to rugged dependability is what truly drove the first Bronco, and it remains a driving force today. There was also a strong desire for the first Bronco to have all the comfort and convenience of a family vehicle combined with the power and performance of a truck. Again, you'll see that across the Bronco lineup today, as the brand has worked hard to ensure the model delivers a smooth, powerful ride while also offering an interior that welcomes you and your passengers with comfortable seating, the latest technological advancements, and more.
The first Bronco was available in three body styles. The Roadster offered an open-air concept, while the Sports Utility was more truck than car. Finally, the Wagon was a two-door model with a full top and tailgate. The Wagon, which offered seating for up to five people thanks to its rear bench seat, was the most popular of the three body styles and was the one Ford continued to develop as drivers' needs shifted over the years. The earliest Bronco also allowed drivers to customize it with various parts and accessories, which is still a defining feature today.
Today, the Ford Bronco offers various trim levels, package options, and accessories so that you can find the one that best meets your needs. Even better? When shopping our used inventory, you can find the Bronco you want within your budget, which might be more difficult when purchasing new. After all, the ability to upgrade is one of the best reasons to check out our pre-owned selection.
Despite its popularity over the years, the Bronco took a break in 1996, after more than one million units rolled off the line over its 31-year history. However, the vehicle's popularity continued among off-road enthusiasts and car buffs. This dedication could be seen at car shows across the country and on the road as the Bronco was restored and modified to meet drivers' specific needs with aftermarket creations.
Then, in 2018, Ford put rumors to rest by announcing the beginning of a new Bronco era. This new Bronco, which debuted in 2021, offered all the power, performance, convenience, and functionality one would expect from a modern SUV. It's this revived Bronco you'll find in our used inventory, offering everything you need to tackle paved and unpaved roads while enjoying modern styling and amenities throughout.
The newest version of the Ford Bronco is focused on safety, performance, and functionality, ensuring that both families and individual drivers feel at ease. It allows you to customize it to your needs, much like the classic version. And serious off-road capability remains a mainstay, giving you confidence as you drive, wherever the road takes you. Another nod to earlier versions of the Bronco can be seen in both the exterior and interior styling, albeit with a modern twist. Our team can help you explore the various versions of the Ford Bronco and answer any questions you have about the options available in our used inventory.
Because of its long legacy of innovation and durability, the Bronco is an excellent candidate for a pre-owned purchase. If you want the advanced features, unmatched capability, and one-of-a-kind off-road styling of a modern SUV at a lower price point, purchasing a pre-owned Bronco is a great option. Not only will you get a lower purchase price when buying used, but you'll also avoid the rapid depreciation that comes with a new vehicle purchase.
Purchasing one of our quality pre-owned Bronco models means you don't have to sacrifice options and top-end amenities to save money. You'll be getting a Bronco loaded with current technology, performance, and features for less. And thanks to our DePaula Pre-Owned Promise, you can purchase a pre-owned vehicle from us with confidence, knowing that we've thoroughly inspected the SUV and we stand behind its quality and condition.

Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Ford Bronco models offer drivers top-tier confidence when buying a used vehicle, so you can purchase a vehicle that offers guaranteed reliability and performance. The Ford Blue Advantage CPO program includes two tiers of vehicles—Gold Certified and Blue Certified—and both levels include detailed inspections, extended warranties, and other benefits that make buying a Ford Blue Advantage Bronco an excellent choice.
All Ford Blue Advantage vehicles must pass a detailed multi-point inspection to assess quality and condition. Gold Certified vehicles are held to stricter age and mileage standards and must pass a more detailed inspection than Blue Certified vehicles. However, both tiers guarantee a higher level of quality than your typical used vehicle.
You can also take comfort in knowing that all of our Ford Blue Advantage CPO vehicles have been reconditioned by our certified Ford service technicians, who have vast experience in working on the full line of Ford cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs. When repairs are needed, our highly-trained techs use only OEM, manufacturer-recommended parts and equipment to ensure your CPO Ford operates as efficiently and smoothly as possible.
Purchasing a Ford Blue Advantage CPO Bronco extends amazing advantages to drivers. For example, Gold Certified vehicles come with a comprehensive limited vehicle warranty and a limited powertrain warranty. Blue Certified vehicles come with a shorter but still confidence-inspiring comprehensive limited vehicle warranty.
Other benefits include a money-back guarantee, complimentary 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty, and a complimentary vehicle history report. You can also get Ford Rewards points that you can use to pay for maintenance visits, accessories, and more.
Buying a Ford Blue Advantage CPO vehicle is a wise choice for drivers who want to save money without sacrificing quality, dependability, or performance. With a Ford CPO Bronco, you can get the best of both worlds, and you'll enjoy the confidence of knowing your pre-owned vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and has met Ford's strict criteria for quality used cars.
