1986 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Fun and affordable 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
First thing that went wrong with the Bronco II was Fuel Pump Relay at 111000 miles.
Clutch began slipping at 112000 and was replaced at 112500.
Majority of the repairs were made prior to my purchase of the vehicle.
Most expensive and seemly insignificant part replaced was the computer chip at 96000 miles for $1500.
General comments?
I enjoy driving my Bronco, it gets me around just fine and I have never been stuck while driving in muddy or snowy terrain.
Much of my ride is rough due to the shocks being worn.
Interior seems pretty spacious for being a compact SUV, plenty of room to move from forward seating compartment to rear cargo area.
I will continue to repair this truck until it finally falls to pieces.
