1995 Ford Bronco XLT review from North America
"Very expensive and unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 10,000 miles the limited slip was whining! The dealership put in some "special" gear lube that was supposed to solve the problem... At 15,000 miles, the rearend was replaced.
The radiator went out at about 36,000 miles.
This truck must have been built to last about 60K miles. I'm glad I sold it before then.
General comments?
Smooth and quiet for about 10,000 miles. Then it got noisy due to loose stuff. The short wheelbase and high center of gravity gave it a very "busy" and scary ride.
The seats were very uncomfortable. I think Ford was ready to dump this model and replace it.
