1986 Ford Bronco II review from North America
"Very reliable and low maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transfer case blew at 160,000.
Hoses were leaking at 160,000.
Alternator blew at 165,000.
After replacing transfer case, alternator and hoses it has run great. The blue paint was chipping on the roof, but after a paint job that was taken care of as well.
General comments?
I have been in two small collisions and one serious accident. The car has had minimal body damage and I have walked away from all accidents. I live in Alaska and this car starts at -40. A great and reliable car.
