1983 Ford Bronco XLT review from North America
"Toughest truck around"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats wore out.
Engine blew (my fault)
Tailgate rust.
General comments?
This truck is the best ever it'll go through anything anywhere.
Even before the 6" suspension and 3" body lift it went everywhere now with 9" more of clearance and 39" super swampers, can't stop it.
The best part is the removable top (till a mid summer day storm)
It is more reliable then anything else I've driven and the 302 motor in it is unbreakable.
I had a 87 k-5 and the bronco out performs out looks and outgoes it in every way possible the only thing they have in common is poor gas mileage and a removable top.
