1986 Ford Bronco XLT review from North America
"Very rugged and sure footed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump went out at 175000 miles.
Exhaust manifold on the drivers side cracked.
Rear window motor went out at 175000 miles.
General comments?
Normal repairs for the amount of miles.
Great off road and camping toy; mine spends a lot of time off road and has always made it home.
A 1986 Bronco makes a good project truck, and with a little work is a outstanding off road platform.
The 5.0 is a little small for the truck, but a few after market parts and it's more than up to the job.
You can rebuild the truck from the ground up from any auto parts store.
Only real down fall is the 10-12 m.p.g.
