Ford Bronco Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1978–1979) — Second Generation
The second-generation Ford Bronco combines a rugged character with a 3-door SUV body. Understanding its powertrain helps you judge how a particular version suits everyday driving, highway trips and rougher terrain.
The 5.8 AT is one example of a Ford Bronco engine and transmission pairing, combining gasoline power with an automatic that handles gear changes for you. This version uses rear-wheel drive, so the rear tires must provide the traction needed to get moving on loose or slippery surfaces.
