1985 Ford Bronco II review from North America
"A tough truck that has lasted the test of time"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I am the original owner of my vehicle and I maintained the truck very well.
I replaced the clutch approximately every 70,000 miles.
I replaced the head gasket at 180,000 miles.
I had a valve job done at 97,000 miles.
My transfer case linkage was replaced at 140,000 miles.
General comments?
As I stated earlier, I am the original owner of my Ford Bronco II.
After 197,000 miles and 18 years of reliable service, to me, I can honestly say it has been an absolute work horse.
Please feel free to see photos and details of this beautiful truck. URL = http://joemad2.tripod.com/bronco/for_sale.htm.
