Don't ever want to sell it!!!!

By Ken (ME) on Tuesday, May 21, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 131,245

Pros: "A snow Eater!!"

Cons: "Radiator support rusted quick"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"I purchased this 1994 Bronco brand new back in Nov 1993 in Rockland Maine. I am active duty Coast Guard so this truck has been to many differant locations. This truck is my second Bronco the 1st one being a 1986 and the only reason we got rid of it was the back seat was hard to get into and with a new born my wife wanted it gone. The 94 model's back seat slides forward making access easier. The only thing I have done to this truck in just under 20 years is the radiator support which rotted at the frame & a few sensors (minor). I saw this truck in forest green/grey two tone and had to have it. The truck has the bullet proof 5.0 and auto trans which has been flawless. I did recently convert the auto hubs to manual warn lockers making for about 3 mpg better now that my half shafts arn't turning anymore & smoother down the highway. I have zero rust on this truck and when I pull up to a stop light guys always comment "that you don't see them like that anymore" Great truck and I wish Ford kept them going for the real Bronco enthusiest!!"

Safest car on the road

By birdmister (CA) on Saturday, April 06, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 149,100

Pros: "Engine, Turning circle, Fun to Drive"

Cons: "Gas mileage, only 4-speed auto"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"I'm only 16 and my dad wanted me to have a car with guts, and safe enough so that an accident would just leave a fun battle scar. I love my bronco, especially because we got a super aftermarket paint job. If ford would have had a 5-speed automatic, for the mileage, I would give this perfect 10's. Bilstein shocks give the right amount of bounce, and keep the corners.... interesting. I would just criticize the gas mileage, but my parents say that if I keep my grades up, that won't be a problem. At 149100 soon to be 150000 and I'll drive it 'till it dies."

"This is my second Bronco. My first was a 1989. I kept it for 3 years. After driving a Bronco in the snow for a few years nothing else compared. My wife drove a few Subarus. I bought my second 1992 Bronco and pulled Subarus out of the snow, no sweat. My 1992 is on it's, second engine and paint (200,000+ miles). It's a beauty. Loves gas but I'm not paying Bank of America just Shell now. It tows my 19 foot ski boat like it's not there. I have taken the rear seat out and slept in it on camping trips many times. We have had 12 ( 4 Lincolns, 3 Subarus) other cars during my 20 year affair with the XLT. This one is a keeper."
