1986 Ford Bronco II Eddie Bauer from North America - Comments

Ive had my Bronco II for a while now and it has had a few problems. It had a power steering leak, the starter went out, and a few other minor problems but nothing that the Shadetree mechanic can't fix.

I have two small children and it is a really reliable source of transportation. It may have a few problems but the level of comfort totally overrides the problems. I believe that I will own my Bronco for a long time and when the motor goes out, HEY I'll replace it, it's well worth it!!!

You're very right!!!!!!!!

I just purchased an Older Bronco ll (1986) in very good condition and so far I love it. But my daughter told me that they did a report in school and Bronoc ll's are the most dangerous SUV. I'm scared to drive it now.

There is a surprisingly large Bronco II community on the internet, and the overwhelming consensus seems to be that the truck is perfectly safe to drive if you're driving legally.

I wouldn't put too much stock in a school report. No offense to your daughter, but most kids' ideas about "research" involve surfing the web and reading whatever is posted there without doing any in-depth fact checking or verification of sources. I wouldn't be afraid to drive a vehicle just because somebody says they managed to roll it doing 70 in a 90 degree turn. Just don't do 70 in a 90 degree turn. Simple.

I absolutely love my 1986 Eddie Bauer Ford Bronco II in Hunter Green color with beige accents. I am the original owner of 22 years. The car is an exceptionally easy drive and very comfortable, she sits high, turns on a dime, and has a great, fun look to it. I've had the usual problems with the car, but worked through them as the car is so unique. At this stage the Bronco still needs some items fixed, but I always said I'd keep the Bronco until it falls apart. There are so few around today when there used to be so many. Did you know the car came with a set of luggage? I still have it. Driving is no problem around corners if the corners are taken slower as the car sits high and has a short wheel base. When I am forced to buy a new car, I'll most likely pass this car along to a member of my family.

This is a great vehicle and is worth buying.
