1985 Ford Bronco II XLT review from North America
"The best little truck on four wheels"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well at the 385,000k mark the clutch started slipping and it won't pass emmisions so I put a rebuilt engine and clutch in.
The original engine lasted 385,000k and still runs, just not as nice as the rebuilt.
Did the ball joints at 380,000k.
But still no rust and looking good.
General comments?
When I bought this truck I was surprised at just what this little thing could do.
Great truck, goes anywhere, never been stuck, pulled people out of some of the places I have been through. I pulled 2 Blazers out last month in one hole.
Tough little truck and it won't die.
