1995 Ford Bronco xlt review from North America
"In a desperate situation, I'd want to be in this truck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The catalytic converter melts the passenger side control arm bushing.
At two years old, the cruise control malfunctioned one time in the full throttle position. Ford payed for half of the repair.
The front seats are uncomfortable. They're like sitting on balloons. No side support.
Changing the spark plugs is a major headache.
The idle air control valve will go out. $50 simple repair.
The fibreglass shell will fade.
General comments?
In general, this is a good truck. I've owned it since new, and it's only left me on the road once, and that was briefly.
The motor and tranny, and drive train in general, have been rock solid. In 4wd, this truck could pull down a house.
I have kept it garaged, and waxed, so the paint still looks very good (it's black).
Gas mileage is bad, but this ain't a little truck.
