Ford’s resurrected Bronco has proven to be a major hit in the US, but there’s still no concrete signs for the off-road SUV coming to Australia.
That’s despite the Bronco sharing the same ladder-frame underpinnings as the Ranger ute, Ford Australia’s most popular model, meaning a right-hand-drive conversion should be easy – at least in theory.
Still, once the Bronco hype dies down in the US, it could free up supply for export markets like Australia, or even enough of a batch to right-hand-drive remanufacture like Ford has done so with the F-150.
The line-up currently starts at $8,910 for the Bronco (base) and ranges through to $12,540 for the range-topping Bronco (base).
Ford offers the Bronco in 11 colours on most models in the range. The Heritage edition is limited to five colours (black, blue, red and two greys) but is available with a unique white roof - instead of the black top on other models.
There are a number of businesses specializing in Ford F100s and Broncos and I would expect they would have the part you need. Try West Coast F100 Salvage (03 5266 2015). If they can't help Google Bronco parts on the net and you are sure to find a supplier in the US who can supply what you need.

The Ford Bronco offers a nice blend of modern conveniences and technology and some retro style to the cabin. The digital dashboard display can be difficult to read at times, but the 'SYNC 4' multimedia system is very user friendly.
The Ford Bronco is available with three engine options - 2.3-litre four-cylinder 'EcoBoost', 2.7-litre V6 EcoBoost and 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6.
The 2.3-litre is fitted to the Heritage as standard. On standard US-grade petrol it's rated at 205kW/427Nm, but Ford claims it makes 223kW/440Nm with premium grade.
The Ford Bronco four-door models offers seating for five. Spaces is good in both rows thanks to the high roofline of the hard-top variant. In the Heritage edition the seats are trimmed in cloth with a retro pattern.
The Ford Bronco comes equipped with a 4x4 system with Ford’s ‘HOSS 1.0’ off-road suspension system, terrain management system and 'EcoBoost' engine as standard. Other features include keyless entry and ignition, dual-zone climate control and Ford’s 'SYNC 4' multimedia system on an 8.0-inch touchscreen.
The Heritage edition includes a two-tone paint job with 'Oxford White' accents on the removable hard-top, front grille and 17-inch alloy wheels. It also gets the huge squared-off fender flares from the 'Sasquatch' package that Ford offers for the Bronco, which also increase the track by approximately 50mm.
According to US reports the Ford Bronco takes approximately 6.0 seconds to run 0-100km/h. Expect a top speed around 210km/h.
Fuel economy for the Ford Bronco is officially rated at 11.7L/100km. The fuel tank is 64 litres, providing a driving range of approximately 550km.
