1985 Ford Bronco II review from North America
"A great, dependable vehicle that lives up to the name sports utility vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new carburetor when I bought it.
General comments?
Converted the air conditioning to R-134 and it works well.
I don't take it off-road, even though it is a four-wheel-drive, but it is dependable during storms and I live on a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, so we get storms.
Other than the carburetor, I have had no problems, but I still need to check some of the sensors to get it to run perfectly. Right now, it only gets 14 miles per gallon.
