Ford’s purpose-built four-wheel drive: the 92-inch Bronco of 1966–77 (225,586 built), the full-size F-Series-based Broncos of 1978–96 (about 900,000 across four generations, the last on 12 June 1996), and the sixth-generation Bronco of 2021 that returned as a Wrangler rival with removable doors and roof.
The compact Ford four-wheel drives of North America: the Ranger 4x4 of 1983–2011 on Twin-Traction Beam and then torsion-bar independent front suspension, and the Bronco II wagon of 1984–90 cut from it, the two vehicles the Explorer grew out of.
The four-wheel-drive F-Series since 1959: the F-100 and F-250 4x4 with a Dana front axle and divorced transfer case, the Highboy F-250 of 1967–77, Twin-Traction Beam on the F-150 from 1980 and full independence from 1997, the Super Duty of 1999, the FX4 package, the Raptor of 2010 and the Tremor — America’s best-selling vehicle since 1981, and the working truck of its ranches, utilities and fire departments.
The global Ford four-wheel drives designed in Australia: the T6 Ranger pick-up of 2011 and its 2022 successor, the Ranger Raptor of 2019, and the Everest wagon of 2003 that became a T6 in 2015 — built in Thailand, South Africa, Argentina, Vietnam and, from 2019, Michigan, and the architecture under the 2021 Bronco.
Ford’s body-on-frame SUVs: the Ranger-based Explorer of 1991–2010 that made the family four-wheel drive a mass market, the F-150-based Expedition since 1997 that replaced the Bronco, the Super Duty-based Excursion of 2000–05, and the Nissan-built Maverick that was Ford Australia’s four-wheel drive of 1988–94.
Ford’s military four-wheel drives: the Marmon-Herrington conversions sold to the US and Belgian armies from 1936, the T9 half-track, the 277,000 GPW Jeeps and 12,778 GPA amphibians Ford built to Willys drawings in 1942–45 (recorded under Jeep), and the M151 MUTT Ford designed in 1951 and built with Kaiser Jeep and AM General from 1959 to 1982 — more than 100,000 for more than 100 countries.
