The vehicle in question is a 1978 Ford Bronco Ranger XLT, manufactured in the United States. This full-size SUV, hailing from an era when raw power and ruggedness defined automotive design, was initially delivered to Ed Chandler Ford in Hayward, California. Having undergone reportedly two refurbishments prior to its acquisition by the current seller on Bring a Trailer in September 2023, this Bronco still retains its authentic charm. It stands out as an American Truck classic, with its distinct '70s styling and iconic rectangular headlights.
