1983 Ford Bronco XLT review from North America
"A great off road truck, and a great on the road truck. Good all around."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Interior Cracking badly.
Seats are worn out.
Carburetor caught fire once.
Left leaf spring broke and pinched the gas line. Had to replace both.
Rear Window doesn't always role up, because it is not in line with the door.
Rear window rattles sometimes.
Hub didn't lock onetime and I had to replace the four wheel drive chain.
Small amounts of rust on the bottom of the tailgate and the back fenders.
Sinks easily in mud.
General comments?
Overall, the Ford Bronco has been a good truck and I plan to get anther one soon.
Its 4x4 capabilities are great, but it is still good on the roads.
OK gas mileage, with a Tornado system on the carburetor.
Always been a good truck on and off the road.
