Ford Bronco
Everything started in the mid-’60s when Ford realized the market for compact and off-road capable SUVs was emerging. The Bronco was very compact, which helped it be very maneuverable on and off the road, making this Ford quite capable when the asphalt stops. The small dimensions mean that the interior was cramped, but the buyers loved it nonetheless, and the sales numbers went through the roof. Second and third generations were even more successful but more prominent and comfortable vehicles with a longer list of options and better equipment.
