1989 Ford Bronco II XLT review from North America
"I still wish Ford was producing this truck, I would definitely buy one."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear lift gate shocks wore out.
It developed a small radiator leak.
General comments?
I bought this truck from my boss who was the first owner. It was extremely well taken care of.
His only problems with it were the valve cover gaskets, which were replaced and no problem since.
I drive this car every day to work now and it handles quite well.
Engine and transmission both original, and running quite strong.
Love the tight turn radius, very easy to maneuver, except higher speed cornering with high center of gravity.
The interior is a little small but a worthwhile tradeoff to the maneuverablilty of a smaller vehicle.
