Vehicle Description
1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer
The Ford Bronco is a model line of sport utility vehicles
manufactured and marketed by Ford. The first SUV model developed by
the company; five generations of the Bronco were sold from the 1966
to 1996 model years. A sixth generation of the model line has
reemerged for the 2021 model year. Originally developed as a
compact off-road vehicle using its own chassis, the Bronco
initially competed against the Jeep CJ-5 and International
Harvester Scout. For 1978, Ford enlarged the Bronco, making it a
short-wheelbase version of the F-Series pickup truck; the full-size
Bronco competed against the K5 Blazer and Ramcharger. Following a
decline in demand for large two-door SUVs, Ford discontinued the
Bronco after the 1996 model year, replacing it with the four-door
Expedition; followed by the larger Excursion.
For consignment, a one owner truck, well a station wagon. a 1996
Ford Bronco in Pacific Green Metallic over Light Saddle Metallic
and we have a real visual winner that would make even O.J. Simpson
proud. Sporting a clean Carfax, ultra low miles, (51,790), and a
beautiful yet functional leather interior this SUV is ready to
handle whatever mountains you may want to climb and even has 2
pieces of Ford Eddie Bauer luggage so you can bring all your
unmentionables on the trek.
Exterior
Very clean, and a good paint job covered with black and Light
Saddle Metallic rockers and optional step built in under rocker, on
this 2-door Eddie Bauer Edition. A tan slightly faded metal top is
installed, and what many people don't realize is this top is still
removable, albeit requiring a T40 tamper proof Torx bit. Badging
and chrome is correct and in excellent condition. Raised white
letter knobby 31X10.5X15 General Grabber A/T rubber is on all 4
corners and wraps large chromed wheels with locking hubs. A swing
away spare is behind the tailgate which has a power window.
Interior
2 overstuffed leather mocha buckets flank a large center console
with a glove box large enough to almost fit a small suitcase! A
leather rear bench which will fold down expanding the already
spacious cargo area is installed behind the buckets. The driver's
bucket has a powered lumber support and none of the leather is
showing anything but very minor wear from careful usage. Dash setup
is standard Ford fare with mocha, black and a wood burl insert. An
aftermarket Pioneer stereo has been installed. Power windows, power
mirror, and power locks are noted by their buttons in the doors.
Cruise control is on the steering wheel. Good quality carpeting, in
tan color, is covering the floor.
Drivetrain
A 5.8 Liter 351ci V8 with an automatic E40D 4 speed transmission
attached is under the OEM hood. Putting power to the ground are
3.55 axle assemblies
Undercarriage
Clean, some surface rust showing on the suspension components. Coil
springs and radius arms for the front long with leaf springs on the
rear provide the ride. Power disc and drum brakes give us stopping
power while a stock style single exhaust system sends spent fossils
out the back of this SUV. A hitch package has been installed, and
it appears heavy duty.
Drivability
I needed a short step stool to climb into this truck, a sharp mind
but terrible knees here, and I was greeted with mid 90's Ford
comfort. Performance was adequate on all fronts and all functions
were working splendidly.
A well preserved SUV with a clean Carfax, ultra low miles and ZERO
rust. It has good gaps, few faults, it does not appear as a 25 year
old vehicle. Well cared for and runs nicely with plenty of power if
you want to hook something fun up to it. This one won't last!!!
