1989 Ford Bronco II Reviews - Page 9 of 9

Power steering pump leaked.

Window motors.

Changed all hoses and belts.

Brakes being redone.

Oil pump failed.

Oil pressure and temperature gauges died.

Shocks replaced.

I have replaced many other things since purchasing it. However I do find it to be fairly reliable. I can't complain about the work I've done to it. Hell that's routine for any car over 100,000 miles.

Truck handles beautifully, on and off road. Also very stable on ice. Everything is in great shape, paint, interior, and drivetrain. Interior looks new.

The only thing I find lacking is the amount of power. That shall be remedied shortly!

I have not had any problems with the truck, other than routine maintenance - belts, brakes, tires etc.

Bought it new and had not 1 problem that has required it to be in the shop.

I think that when people have problems with this little truck, are when they buy a used Bronco and it had been abused by a novice off-roader. If you understand the limits of the Bronco II then you will be in good shape (from my own experience the Bronco II has very little limitations for a stock truck).

Great vehicle, just watch the transmissions (stick and auto).

If you can believe it the only thing that has gone wrong is the drive shaft.

I don't now how or why, but it runs like new. I know I will get over 200,000 miles out of it. I mean it I haven't put one cent in to the engine. Ford makes a good SUV, my father in law has a 1991 Ford Explorer and if you can believe this it has 254,000 miles on it and still runs.

For the most part an excellent car, engine is still kicking at over 200k.

Have had numerous electrical problems with the headlight switch.

Problems with the fly-wheel starter.

Paint on hood and roof is flaking.

Top of the dashboard is damaged due to sunlight.

4x4 gear-box was torn up when I drove on the highway with it engaged.

Flat tire.

New transmission.

I love this truck. It is awesome off-road. I put 33x12.5 tires on it and I have to say it is sweet. I've heard people say that it rolls over easy but mine hasn't yet. This bad boy sounds like a V8 with the exhaust I put on it.

Trunion gear snapped.

Transmission shot.

Corroded exhaust.

Good car overall. But if you like spending a lot of money, I would recommend not buying one.

I bought the truck from my grandpa (the original owner) and I drove it through high school. I'm now in college and have been from AZ to FL 4 times, WY once and CA a lot.

She has finally died with the original powertrain. My engine died and it is my only vehicle, winter is coming and I need an engine (never let girlfriends drive your Ford).

Anybody got one??

I loved the truck, it is very dependable and it looks cool with its lift, 33 tires and a chopped rear top that now is a soft top.

It had been rolled 6 times and I drove it home with no damage to the tires, frame, steering or powertrain. Now it is fixed but dead. Please help.

Starter/flywheel compatibility problem.

This is the second Bronco II I have owned. The fold down back seats, short wheel base and short turning radius make this an excellent off road vehicle.

Gas mileage is very good for a 4wd vehicle but I wish it had a 4.0 engine. It has a good body style and looks sharp when cherryed out.

Clear coat is coming off on the roof and the hood, power steering fluid leak, wind shield wiper fluid pump in the front is shot.

A real nice car with a small motor (not for racing) but good all around (would look nice with lots of accessories)!
