Strength:
V6 4x4 enough room for my camping gear and then some. Good clearence.
Weakness:
This truck is an 84 so a few gliches here and there. i live in an area with lots of mountains so i figured a bronco would do the job. The 4x4 option in this small truck work well in tight places ,and not to mention its fun to drive. Similar Products Used: 1999 dodge dokota V6 1995 dodge dokota 1989 dodge dokota 4x4 1986 GMC 4x4 |

changing the oil and feeding it and thats about all the maintenence it needs. it's a ford. the fact that it can make a u-turn in a 3 lane road w/out reversing. it's a ford. the powerful 300 hp 351 engine. it's a ford.
Weakness:
lets see only 2 that i can think of. 1 gas,gas,gas. 12 mpg. and 2. Ford stopped making it. I have owned this bronco since 1996 and i have put it through hell. it still has the original motor. a 351 W. it has about 125,000 miles. i put headers a K&N filter and intake and custom gibson exhaust. It has about 300 horses. i can take out to the dunes for a weekend in the sand or i can take it out to the mud pits and pull out toyotas and all those trucks that aren't fords. on the road it can tow my 30 ft sea ray cabin cruiser with out a problem at all. i haven't towed much else with it. i love the way it looks with the top off. i have had millions of compliments on the way it looks all around. Similar Products Used: 1989 toyota 4x4, enough said about that no i'm not gay. 1993 ford f-150 4x4. the next best truck next to my bronco. and a 1979 blazer. wasn't to bad for off-road, but it's horrible for anything else. |

Strength:
Turning, hill climbing,speed, power,looks, it has everything
Weakness:
gas, wow that 351 M sure does like the gas, still thoughn the power( worth every bit) nothing beats this thing, you can go anywhere. It's big, fast and tough as hell. plus it's great with the top off on a hot summer day, perfect lake vehicle. they should really make them again,I'd buy one.

Strength:
the tough 300 hp motor. I like the leather in this truck. surprisingly it doesn't get too hot in the sun. A lot of people have commented on the looks. i like the fact that on the free way at 75 i'm runnin 2500 rpm's. last one is IT'S A FORD.
Weakness:
gas. 12 mpg blind spot is a little bigger than would like. I have been driving this truck for a couple of years now. It has about 120000 miles. I have to say it's the toughest mother i've ever driven. It can make lake trips or mud bogging events (i won 4 of those with it) put 6 inches under it, 35 in. SS boggers under a 351 and it will destroy anything you put in it's way. I stil haven't taken the top off it yet but i will shortly. only problem i've had since i got it was the fuel filter. Similar Products Used: a 1986 ranger 4x a girls truck but not bad. an 83 suburban 454. powerful but there wasn't much more to it than that. |

Strength:
Can go anywhere, i mean anywhere. alot of torque for adventures in the mountains.
Weakness:
only one being gas mileage. I get about 12 mpg. 92 Fullsize bronco w/ a V8 351 Windsor. 215 hp 315lbs of tq. easy to drive, its a little different at first, but you get use to it. Captain chairs are comfy, storage units galore. Back seat comes out, provides sleeping room for 3 fullsize adults when camping. +the top comes off in a jiffy. There is nothing better than having the top off. 105,000 miles on her and only problem i've noticed is a had starter. Similar Products Used: 1996 Ford F-150 XL 5 spd. I-6. |

Strength:
Great fun off-road. Incredible strength. Looks. Space. Gadgets (compass, temp reading, 4x4). height. You can add so many extra features. They keep a good resell value.
Weakness:
Bumpy ride. mine had some problems with the starter, alternator, battery but I can't say it is a defect on all broncos. This is a great overall truck. Its too bad they stopped making them. You can pull anything with em. They cruise nicely on the freeway. They can carry anything you want to bring along. Very spacious interior. Turning into a parking space is suprisingly simple for such a high looking vehicle. Its a little tough to drive at first because of the height but you do get used to it. I would reccomend this over a pickup because it can do more. Its better than an expedition because of its length and looks. And its better than a car because it can drive anywhere. |

when i first bought it i put gas a a battery in it and it started after sitting in a field for 3 years. the engine has excessive blow by but still keeps on running weather water gets into the engine compartment or not.
Weakness:
parts like to break on me every time i get another paycheck. It is a verry good and reliable truck that i some how??? managed to get really cheap. sure i got it as a pile of junk but after some tlc and some $$$$$ it has become one of my best vehicles ever. not to mention this truck has an xlt package with the optional 5.8l 4v ho engine. Similar Products Used: chevys. i need not say any more about those piles of junk. |

Very powerfull 351 5.8L. It tow's like a beast. 4 wheels as good as my friend's jeep CJ-7, and doesn't overheat on the way up.
Weakness:
Haven't found any so far. This is the first and only truck I will ever buy. My friend's Jeep CJ-7 always has something wrong with it, but my Bronco is still running strong after 130,000 miles. Similar Products Used: None. |
