1988 Ford Bronco II XLT review from North America
"Fun rig, like a Jeep that runs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight plug in the steering column shorted (no lights).
Tip-over fuel pump shut off plug shorted (won't run when that happens).
A4LD transmission quit shifting to over-drive (cleaning the valve body will fix it).
Oil leaks at the valve covers.
Seat back frame broken.
General comments?
If I could get a new one just like it, I would.
It gets great mileage, easy to drive, comfortable on long trips, goes great in snow and mud.
A4LD automatic transmission is the major weakness of the vehicle.
Everything else on it can take a beating and keep going.
Tips over everytime I drive it! (just kidding)
