1984 Ford Bronco II XLT review from North America
"Good vehicle for camping trips and the like, cheap to fix"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The U-Joints went out on me about 6 months after getting car, but they were the originals. Valve Covers had to be changerd twice. Radiator had to be replaced due to age. Smog pump went out and had to be replaced.
General comments?
My Bronco 2 gets me to were I need to go, although at times things do go wrong with it. It has never left me stranded to long though, unless it was a bad repair done on my part.
4x4 is really fun, although on city streets this car chews up more gas than power it puts out. This truck has no horsepower, but a nice amount of torque.
Interior is falling apart, but that is due to age. It's a 1984 and the seats are still in great condition, but I ripped out the headliner since it was falling on my head.
This car really hates the cold, and the carburetor doesn't help. Unless you pop it in neutral and give it a bit of gas, it will stall on you. During the summer though it's a fun car, I take it on road and camping trips all the time.
