The Ford Bronco was first introduced in 1965 and remained in production for more than 31 years until it was discontinued in 1996.  26 years later, after the last Bronco was produced, Ford unveiled the all-new 2021 Bronco. Two models of Bronco are available, the small SUV Sport Bronco and the full-size Bronco. Fans who loved the original Bronco’s tough appearance and all-terrain capability were eager to get their hands on the new Ford Bronco, anticipating solid dependability and an improved look and design.   Although the 2021 Ford Bronco has been remodeled and updated features added, it has already received complaints from dissatisfied owners because of Ford Bronco Roof Water Leak.
