1989 Ford Bronco II XLT review from North America
"A wonderful, reliable vehicle - maybe one of Ford's best!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Here are all the repairs to this vehicle:
1) two water pumps (1997, 2001)
2) one radiator replacement (2001)
3) shocks (2001)
4) two exhaust systems
5) transmission rebuild under warranty at 60K miles
6) tuned up three times
7) brakes at 90K and again at 220K
8) alternator at 232K miles
9) valve cover gaskets at 190K miles.
A/C stopped working five years ago.
General comments?
I can't believe the low maintenance and high reliability of this truck. Many people ask me why I still have it... because it still starts, gets me where I'm going and back with little maintenance.
This vehicle has to be one of Ford's best!!
