Ford Bronco 5th Generation

19921996 · suv

Fifth and final full-size Bronco, sharing the ninth-gen F-150's body and frame. Two-door SUV with a removable fiberglass rear top. Engine options: 4.9L inline-six (1992 only), 5.0L Windsor V8, 5.8L Windsor V8. 4-speed E4OD automatic or 5-speed M5OD manual. Driver airbag added 1994, 4-wheel ABS standard from 1993. Discontinued after 1996 in favor of the four-door Expedition — and not revived until 2021.

Watch out: E4OD automatic is the weak link — overheating and torque-converter failure are documented at high-mileage / towing duty; an aftermarket trans cooler is the standard preventive fix. Frame rust through the rear shackle hangers and body mounts is the other long-term killer, especially on rust-belt trucks.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
