1986 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer review from North America
"I love it, drives anywhere, anytime, I can't wait to add the lift kit and engine rebuild!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition switch is tricky and would not connect properly.
Starter solenoid had to be replaced right away.
Gas gauge is way off, which has put me in a few sticky situations.
Exhaust is falling apart and rust has formed on all quarters and bottom of tail gate.
General comments?
Eats a bit more gas than i'd like, but it handles well on the highway.
4X4 is VERY useful in the winter and muddiness.
Very roomy and comfy, handles great.
I freakin' love my bronco, I have always wanted one of these.
