What year did Ford make a 4-door Bronco?
The four-door Bronco was introduced for the 2021 model year, with production beginning in late 2020. This marked the first time Ford offered a four-door body style for the Bronco in its modern lineup.
Historically, the Bronco line dating back to 1966 was built primarily as two-door SUVs. Ford revived the Bronco in 2021 after a long hiatus, expanding the lineup to include both a two-door and a four-door variant to appeal to families and adventure seekers while maintaining off-road capability.
Historical context of Bronco door configurations
Before the 2021 revival, the Bronco nameplate offered no factory four-door model. The long-running two-door design defined the model's identity for decades, while related Ford SUVs such as the Bronco II (a separate, smaller model) did not alter this trend.
- 1966–1977: First-generation Bronco, two-door only.
- 1983–1990: Bronco II, a smaller, separate model, primarily two-door.
These points illustrate that a factory-configured four-door Bronco did not exist until Ford's revival in 2021.
The 2021 revival: introduction of the four-door option
Informative paragraph before list: The 2021 revival of the Bronco introduced both two-door and four-door configurations as production-ready options, signaling a return to Ford's classic off-road heritage with modern practicality.
- For the 2021 model year, Ford launched the Bronco with both two-door and four-door body styles.
- Production of the four-door Bronco began in late 2020, with first deliveries to customers in early 2021.
- Popular trims included Badlands, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, and First Edition, all available in four-door form.
These milestones establish that Ford officially produced and sold a four-door Bronco starting with the 2021 model year.
Summary
The four-door Bronco first arrived with the 2021 model year, marking Ford's return to offering the Bronco as a true four-door SUV alongside the traditional two-door variant. Production began in late 2020, and the model quickly found a wide audience among both off-road enthusiasts and everyday drivers.
