Bronco II anyone??

[fanninator 10+ year member]

not tryin to have a ford/chevy/dodge grudge or anything...im just asking if anyone has or has had a ford bronco II, the 2.9 4x4s. i like them and they do decent on gas from what i know. a buddy had bought a 2.9 ranger and molested it for about 10 months untill he bought his new truck and it was a great running truck im just seeing if the broncos were made the same.

and while im at it, do they get loud very easy...just curious.

I have always been under the impression that they were real pieces of shit.

I own an 87 2 wheel drive version with the V6.

It has 180,000 miles on it, and doesnt leak or burn a single drop of oil.

Most dependable vehicle I ever owned.

hum. thats how the ranger was...couldnt kill it, he paid 700 for it, put a cheap pioneer in it and dual flowmasters and sold it for 900 and its still kickin round town. never spent a penny on anything mechanical...do you have subs in it by chance?

No subs, not even a radio!

I bought a 2001 Eclipse Spyder over a year back which is now my main car, but I still have the Bronco II for around town stuff.

(The Spyder has a tiny trunk.)

My mom owned 2 of the Rangers with the 2.9L in them. Both were crap. She owned a Bronco II, which was a hell of a lot better than the Rangers, and even had more miles on it, and the previous owner never took care of it. I don't like the Ford trucks, but if I got a good deal on a Bronco II, I would buy one.

Look into older S-10 Blazers if you're wanting a 4x4 SUV, or even Nissan Pathfinders (Great vehicles), Isuzu Rodeos, Toyota 4Runners. I had a Nissan Pathfinder that I hit a few deer with, and even a cow, and it didn't have any damage other than to the grill, which was plastic, and the headlight holder things.

meh. anyways im just gona keep my eyes peeled. the insurance on a bronco is actually only like an extra 20 a month than a civic. so whatever i run across first.
