Ford Bronco 4th Gen

Introduced for the 1987 model year, the 4th generation Bronco shared its platform and 'brick nose' front end with the 8th generation F-150. This update brought improved aerodynamics and, most importantly, standard electronic fuel injection across the engine lineup. The available powerplants were the 4.9L inline-6, the 5.0L V8, and the torquey 5.8L Windsor V8, offering better reliability and drivability than the carbureted engines they replaced.

Collectors appreciate the 4th gen for its blend of classic square-body looks and more modern road manners. The fuel injection makes them easier to live with than older Broncos, and parts availability is excellent thanks to their F-Series connection. Desirability is highest for well-preserved Eddie Bauer editions with the 5.8L V8, as well as limited-run models like the Silver Anniversary and Nite editions. The iconic removable hardtop remains a huge draw for enthusiasts.

The market for these Broncos is very active, with an average sale price of $17,611 reflecting a wide variety of conditions. While project trucks can be found for a few thousand dollars, demand for clean, rust-free survivors and high-quality restorations has pushed top prices toward $90,000. Low-mileage, original examples are becoming true collector's items and their values have appreciated steadily.

Prices range from a few hundred dollars for parts trucks to as much as $90,000 for exceptional, low-mileage examples.
