It presents an exterior dimensions table showing the Bronco is slightly smaller outside than the Blazer (overall length 180.3 vs 184.4, wheelbase 104.0 vs 106.5, overall width 79.3 vs 79.6), illustrated with dimensioned side and front line drawings of the Bronco. A seating comparison table headlined 'Bronco 6, Blazer 2!' lists six Bronco seating configurations for 1979, including the new Captain's Chairs option with fold-down arm rests, versus only two available on Blazer, with capacities ranging from 2 to 6 passengers. A photo caption highlights 'Bronco's Captain's Chair Option for 1979.' The final section lists Bronco comfort and convenience exclusives over Blazer: a standard power tailgate window operable from the driver's seat or tailgate, four radio options (AM, AM/FM Monaural, AM/FM Stereo, 40-Channel CB), Comfort Vent Heater, Security Lock Group (locking gas cap, glove box, inside hood release, spare tire lock), illuminated visor vanity mirror, Privacy Glass in fixed quarter windows, and a Light Group (glove box, ashtray, engine compartment, instrument panel lights, dome lamp and map light with bucket seats).
