13 years, 1 owner - 1996 Ford Bronco
By Orig Owner 96 Bronco - November 4 - 7:43 pmI bought a 96 XLT 5.8L Bronco new in 1996. I still own it in 2009, and plan to keep it probably 5 more years. This vehicle has been super reliable. I have 113k miles now. No rust, but I live in FL and dont see snow. Super capable off road and comfortable on road. A few problems, front suspension bushings replaced, ball joinsts need replacing (but not causing tire wear, so im letting them be), radiator leaked (replaced it myself), bad EGR valve. Other than that, nothing major to speak of. Front brakes last about 60k, tires 50k, I always get lots of compliments on the truck and offers to buy, but why sell when Id have to pay $35K for an inferior replacement vehicle. MPG observed is 13/15

They keep asking to buy my 96 EB Bronco - 1996 Ford Bronco
By BReilly - July 17 - 12:07 amI cant begin to tell you how many people ask me to sell them my 96 EB Bronco. Ford has had many better ideas but, discontinuing the Bronco was not one of them. With a fuel injected 351 c.i. V-8, I can get up to 17 mpg highway and about 14 mpg city. Not bad for a full size rig. One of the best features on the rig is a cast aluminum air intake manifold on the engine. The new Ford engines sport plastic air intake manifolds that may last 60,000 to 100,000 miles IF YOURE LUCKY, and when they fail, youre looking at a $1,000 + bill to repair.

Regret - 1996 Ford Bronco
By Jim - May 30 - 12:47 pmThis was the best vehicle I have ever owned and regret that I sold it. I have been looking for the a burgandy/silver one for the past five years. It was the most dependable and comfortable vehicle I have driven. It was practically maintenance free. I still wished that Ford would bring it back. I dont care about the gas milage because you save it on maintence.

Bring it back - 1996 Ford Bronco
By Ford Fanatic - May 25 - 11:29 pmI bought our 1996 Bronco XLT in 2001 for $10000. It had 100000 miles on it. I thought was a little high for only 5 years old. But, boy was it worth it. We are now approaching 180000 with no repairs other than brakes, tires and other routine maint. It has been the most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. It has never failed me. Although I wanted the eddie baur at the time, I would never trade my XLT for one now.

I love my truck! - 1996 Ford Bronco
By SoxCrazy - March 21 - 7:57 amI bought my truck in 2007. I got it for $750!! The body is in fairly excellent shape. There are small spots at the tailgate window area, looks like someone slid something into the cargo area that took the paint off. Easily fixed. And the rear door needs some work before it will open. I have noticed that the underside is rusting out, Ive had to replace all the metal brake lines. That is just living in VT. Once I get the rest of the undercarriage cleaned up Ill have it treated.The starter went and it sometimes has trouble starting after a rain. The ball joints are shot and the 4x4 may be next. Repairs now may be a little costly but I love the truck and I dont care. For what I paid, its ok

Love my Bronx - 1996 Ford Bronco
By Charles Hudgins Jr. - February 20 - 2:56 pmI have had this truck for more than 10 years and the only thing I have done was change brakes and tires, oh and one lower ball joint. She starts and runs like no other. I guess I should change the oil more often though. I tell you we started at 45000 miles and are now at 218000 and still runs smooth and hard.

My Sweet Bronco - 1996 Ford Bronco
By broncobabe4u - August 17 - 11:57 pmI bought my Bronco used at 2 years old. I traded down from a newer vehicle but my test drive sold it. Two weeks after I bought it, I had it at the Silver Lake Dunes and while many trucks were grunting and backing down not making it to the top, I had no problem walking right up. Its never given me any major problems in the 10 years Ive owned it. I get compliments on a weekly basis and offers to sell. It will never happen. Shes getting old but I will continue to drive it with pride until it dies or I do, whichever comes first. Never have I owned a vehicle this long and will never again. Shes the best thing thats ever happened to me and at 200,000 and still going strong, why would I?

Ford Bronco simply the best 4x4 - 1996 Ford Bronco
By Ronnie Moses - October 24 - 10:46 amThe Ford Bronco was simply the Best all around, most versatile vehicle ever built by any manufacturer. It possessed the ability to go almost anywhere while retaining creature comforts only seen in sedans of its day. It is true that many "suvs" of its day may have ridden and handled better on the highway, however none from the factory could go offroad with it and ride and handle as well as it did on road. As for the mechanicals I can only speak for the 17 Broncos I have owned from 1988 to 1996, the worse problem I ever had was an o2 sensor. The only one I have left is my 1988 which has 275,000 miles on it and is still running great. I had 4 1996s all of which were sold with 150,000 miles+.

I LOVE MY BRONCO - 1996 Ford Bronco
By Buddy - August 2 - 1:20 pmI bought my 1996 Bronco after selling my 1988. This 96 was bought new while the 88 had been bought used. I was making trips to Kansas year round about every 2 months and in the winter you never knew what weather you might run into. I could drive my Bronco and not worry about snow. Because of the way my wife enjoyed driving my Bronco and since they are no longer, available my wife now drives a 2005 Eddie Bauer Expedition. I have at least 6 people who have been wanting to buy my Bronco for several years but its not for sale. Most dependable and versatile vehicle Ive ever owned. I find it hard to believe that Ford would discontinue such a good vehicle from their line of vehicles.
