Ford Bronco II Production Numbers
Ford Bronco II production numbers can be surprisingly difficult to pin down, particularly for the earliest model years. The figures below are compiled from Ford production records and related documentation, with separate totals shown for four-wheel-drive (4X4) and two-wheel-drive (4X2) models where the records provide them. Some figures contain known inconsistencies or anomalies, including the missing 1984 production data and identical 1987 and 1988 figures carried over in Ford records. Rather than presenting the numbers as unquestionably exact, this table preserves those discrepancies and identifies where the available Ford documentation leaves questions. It provides the best available year-by-year picture of Bronco II production from its introduction in 1984 through the end of production in 1990.
