1988 Ford Bronco II XL review from North America
"It has been one of the best all-around vehicles I've ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Leaky valve cover gaskets.
Several air conditioning repairs.
General comments?
My '88 Bronco II is approaching 240,000 miles and it still has the original drive train, including the clutch. I change the oil and filter every 3,000 miles and, at most, I have to add a half-quart of oil between changes. It has always started for me and has never left me stranded. Sure it is under-powered, but it gets great fuel economy and turns on a dime.
