1989 Ford Bronco

Big, boxy and unmistakably American. The 1989 Ford Bronco brings one of the most recognizable classic SUVs to Project Zomboid, combining rugged styling, practical customization and plenty of opportunities for survival-focused upgrades.

The Bronco represents an era when American off-road vehicles were built around sturdy truck-based designs, generous proportions and a straightforward approach to utility.

Now this iconic SUV can become part of your journey through the abandoned roads of Kentucky.

Whether you're looking for a vehicle to restore, a dependable companion for group expeditions or a heavily customized machine for dangerous supply runs, the Bronco offers an impressive selection of equipment.

It's also part of a larger collection of 1980s American pickups, sharing several important components with other vehicles in the series.

Three Ford Bronco Variants

The mod includes three vehicle configurations:

• Ford Bronco - The classic civilian SUV with its recognizable two-door body and traditional American styling.
• Ford Bronco PD - A police department version with distinctive law enforcement appearance.
• Ford Bronco Ranger - An additional Ranger variant that expands the available selection.

Each version preserves the recognizable Bronco design while providing another option for players collecting or restoring classic American vehicles.

Multiple exterior texture variations add further visual diversity, making it more interesting to search for your preferred configuration.

Extensive Customization Options

One of the Bronco's greatest strengths is its extensive selection of optional components.

Some upgrades can be installed together, while others require choosing between different configurations.

This allows players to create vehicles with distinct appearances rather than simply installing every available accessory.

Available customization equipment includes:

• Three front bumper and bullbar configurations
• Two rear bumper and bullbar configurations
• Two levels of protective reinforcement
• Additional armor plates for windows and doors
• Protective equipment for the engine and headlights
• Bed covers and exterior body accessories
• Roll bars and reinforced attachments
• Roof racks and additional equipment
• Multiple exterior texture variations

Many components can be discovered while exploring the game world, allowing you to gradually rebuild and improve your vehicle.

You can preserve the original appearance of the Bronco or turn it into a more heavily equipped SUV for dangerous journeys.

Two-Tier Armor Protection

The Ford Bronco features a protective equipment system designed to improve its ability to withstand the dangers of Knox County.

Both front and rear bumper configurations offer two tiers of protection, giving players additional options when preparing their vehicle.

Armor components are also available for vulnerable areas, including:

• Windows
• Doors
• Engine compartment
• Headlights

These upgrades provide opportunities to reinforce the vehicle without completely abandoning its classic appearance.

Choosing the right combination of equipment becomes an important part of customizing your Bronco.

Shared Parts With Other 1980s Pickups

The Bronco belongs to a broader collection of American pickup and SUV modifications.

Several components are compatible with other vehicles from the same series, including:

• Tires
• Armor components
• Seats
• Roof racks
• Selected additional parts

This compatibility makes maintaining multiple vehicles more convenient.

Instead of collecting completely different equipment for every vehicle, you can reuse compatible parts from other models in the collection.

It's a particularly useful feature for players who enjoy building a garage filled with classic American trucks and SUVs.

Detailed Animations and Interactive Components

The Bronco includes detailed vehicle interactions and fully animated body parts.

The hood, rear cargo access, doors and windows are animated, while the interior and character remain visible during driving.

Additional features include:

• Improved entering, exiting and aiming animations
• Removable 3D components that can be placed in the game world
• Discoverable accessories and customization equipment
• Multiple protective bumper configurations
• Support for towing other vehicles
• Ability to be towed when necessary

These details make vehicle restoration and maintenance a more engaging part of the survival experience.
