Strength:
Fast Acceleration, Great handeling, Overdrive works wounders, Lots of leg room both front and back seats.
Weakness:
14 miles a gallon. I rate the Bronco the best truck that I have ever owned for both family and sport. I was a chev. man and I was quite hesatent about buying the Bronco do to a past for that I had owned. Now that I went ahead and purchesed the Bronco I don't think I have been more happy with a truck. Similar Products Used: 1984 Chev. Blazer Full size. there is NO comparison. The Bronco will beet the Blazer in the long and short run. when it comes to -40dagree weather the Bronco will keep you worm while the Blazer will almost freez your buns off. LOL |

I am the 5 liter and it is wonderful. The truck can go through anything at all. We had a blizzard w/ 18 to 24 in of snow, and she went like it was bare highway. There are very few weaknesses.
Weakness:
GAS GAS GAS, 10 mpg town, maybe a little higher on the thruway. The E4OD tanny is teh weakest link on this truck, it has been rebuilt twice in 200,000 miles. Taigate rust. When my dad bought this truck in 1991 he dorve it hard on his way to hunting spots, fishing spots, and on the highway, ten years later it is mine now and i love it. It still runs like a charm, and if something goes wrong and that is rare (been in the shop 4 times in 10 years) it is almost always easy and cheap to fix, except when you have to get the parts from ford( they rob you). This truck is teh best thing anyone can buy, hands down. Similar Products Used: 91 ranger, 81 chevy C30, 93 F150. The BEST YOU CAN BUY |

Ford Bronco XLT
Strength:
Power, room, torque, ground clearence,
Weakness:
Loose steering, poor gas mileage Tons of power and off-roading capability. Good ride quality for a truck. Very roomy and comfortable interior. Unlimited upgrade potential (headers, exhaust, sound system, gearing, etc.). Have pulled out countless Chevies from the mud. Pretty easy to make reasonable fast (even with 35 inch tires!); enough to beat 4Runners, stock Tahoes, Suburbans, etc. Great towing too. Reliable and easy to do your own work on. I will recommend a Bronco to everyone I see. Similar Products Used: GMC Typhoon |

Strength:
This has got to be the best truck that I have ever had. I had Jeep's(POS transmision), Dodge Rams, and even a blazer, but this is the power house. I replaced the motor with a 351 and the only thing that can stop this machine is a tree( witch I hit, but it fell over). Lot's of room, and it isn't that big of a pain to smog.
Weakness:
Bad sterring,but other than that it is the best. The bronco is a fun truck to go off-roading in. There are many of mod's that you can do to them. I would say that the bronco is the over all best SUV in the off-road. Similar Products Used: Jeep- only on the hills dosen't compare in the mud |

Strength:
Very Strong 351. C6 tranny is unbelievably strong for an automatic. Big, comfortable interior. Vehicle can definitely get you there in style. Great turning radius.
Weakness:
Rear departure angle, (when climbing something) sucks when compared to the deprture angle of the front of the vehicle. Not a huge thing, just annoying for anyone who likes to climb steep hills. This is definitely the best vehicle I have ever owned. I'm currently in the market for another, just waiting for a great deal again. I've abused the heck out of this thing, and it keeps going. I have never owned a vehicle that I haven't destroyed within 2 years. I've been through a couple of wrecks with it, and it just keeps going. Unfortunately it looks terrible right now (because of the wrecks and roll onto its side), but I've never had to have it towed home from the trail. Over all, I would definitely recommend it!
