Easter is here, full of spring weather, flowers and…Easter eggs. You’re wondering what the Ford Bronco has to do with Easter eggs. The egg reference in automotive is the way that logos, details and special features are hidden throughout a car. Let’s hunt for the best and coolest eggs ever.
Horse in the Headlights
1. The Ford Bronco is “Build Wild” using a bucking bronco as its logo. A bucking bronco is etched into the edge of the LED daytime running headlights.

Trail Sights
3. The word Bronco is engraved in the bolts.

Taillights
13. The lights are shaped like horseshoes. Also, the passenger side taillight looks like the letter B.
Tires
14. While this may not be an actual visual Easter egg, it’s something that is “missing” from the Goodyear tires. The tires on the the Bronco are Goodyear’s Wrangler line of tire. Ford preferred to not to wear the WRANGLER name on its wheels. Instead, the name GOODYEAR appears twice on the outer sidewall, with WRANGLER appearing on the inner sidewall.

Gas Cap Door
18. Open the door to view three 1966 Broncos with the U-codes of the first generation Bronco models-U13 for the topless roadster, U14 for the half-cab pickup and U15 for the wagon. In the Ford Bronco Raptor, the graphics are of historical race winning Bronco models that competed in the Baja Off-Road race and won.
Door Connectors
19. The door wiring connection cover has “GET UNHINGED” engraved on it.

28. The shape of the button is identical to the Bronco’s headlights.
Drive Modes
29. For the original Bronco project, Ford used an internal code name of G.O.A.T., Goes Over Any Terrain. On the new Bronco, G.O.A.T. is used for the driving modes. We love the analogy, but Greatest Of All Time also feels fitting.
