    Best truck ever built...

    I've had a 1978 Ranger XLT and currently own a 1996 XLT with 300,000 miles on it. Original power train. Very dependable. Parts are still readily available, although certain niche parts are getting harder to find. Keep up the scheduled maintenance and it will give you great service.

    Ford Bronco, No Comparison !!

    I own two (2) : a 1990 XLT that I bought in 1991 w/120K and is pristine. The other is a 1996 EB with 121K and is also pristine. I run my vehicles hard but not carelessly and they provide good service. Change your oil every 2500 mi, your axles, every 20K Also, the same for your trans, transfer case and cooling system, every 20K. You'll easily get 200K out of them. There's a network of quality, new , non-dealer parts that can be easily had for a reasonable price. Hose off the undercarriage after every snow and pay due diligence to rust prevention and you'll avoid otherwise common rust problems

    Great on and off road traveler

    The size of a short pick-up but extremely maneuverable. Tows a trailer with ease and carrys all you might need to carry. Great seating, visibility and comfort on long trips. Runs with anything on the highway. Always ready to go ( very dependable)

    Broncos are the Best.

    I have loved Ford Broncos since I was a kid. The 1996 Ford Bronco has the under-the-dash plug that allows you to further modify your vehicle the best. Don't get me wrong, all Broncos are really great.

    Most amazing car ever built

    The 1996 Ford Bronco is, without question, the finest feat of engineering in the history of mankind. The pyramids of Egypt are just a pile of rocks by comparison.

    Great Off Road Vehicle

    The 1994 Ford Bronco is a work horse. It hauls all my surveying gear and crew to the job site, no matter the terrain. Add front and rear lockers or limited slip and this truck goes anywhere, anytime! Very reliable! Parts are easy to find in salvage or at LMC Truck Parts.

    Great SUV for an active lifestyle.

    It meets all my needs for training a pointer, fishing, weekend drives, and clay target shooting. It launches a jon boat or canoe at unimproved boat ramps with ease.

    One of the most fun SUV to own

    The power that comes with the 5.8L engine and the amazing sound of the exhaust really gets heads to turn plus the interior in roomy enough to load our dogs up and go anywhere
