1986 Ford Bronco XLT review from North America
"It's a bronco with the legendary 302."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Only major fix:headlight switch.
Seats are in very bad condition.
Needs a paint job, and developing rust.
Possible cracked exhaust manifold.
Oil leaks from oil pan.
The engine will be rebuilt, and a lift kit is the next project.
General comments?
At 106k I took it 70 miles on a camping trip, and at 70 mph it still felt strong.
I can't wait for tomorrow to come I just want to drive my bronco all day long.
Althuogh, after 18 years you need to tighten all the little screws to get rid of all those annoying cabin noises.
