- 1990 Bronco II
Howdy, y'all -
Guess I'm the new gal on the block but I hope to get some good advice here -
I've been driving a 90 Bronco II for the last six or so years. It's been a pleasure driving her (yes, she's a lady!), but my daily mileage has been taking its toll, so it's getting time to retire her to 'pasture' as a ranch/range truck.
Questions are these - is it better to get another Bronco and deal with possible mileage on the engine issues, wear and tear, etc. or look at something else altogether?
Is there something comparable out there in terms of
-cargo space (she's my 'truck' - I haul feed, hay, water, propane tanks, etc., regularly),
-visibility (great windows - easy to see surrounding traffic),
-mpg (around 13 or so)
-transmission (manual preferred)
-good clearance/skid plate (rough, unpaved roads)
....this is just about the newest vehicle I have, so I'm not conversant with what came out to replace the Bronco II when Ford stopped making them or what's comparable/available now.
Any and all suggestions/feedback would be greatly appreciated -
Thanks, and y'all stay warm out there!
