1985 Ford Bronco II review from North America
"My idea of a perfect little ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My transmission passed away at 130,000 miles. I did not use a reputable auto mechanic so within 4 months I had to install another one.
There was a ticking under the hood from day one which never caused any problems.
General comments?
Reliable in good or bad weather.
Economical to run.
Even though not garaged, she had only one small rust spot after almost 20 years of service.
Comfortable in town or on trips.
Always classy looking - all black and chrome with a red interior. The spare tire was inside.
If I had to do it again, I would buy it again.
