Vehicle Description
1990 Ford Bronco II
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 was
introduced for the 2021 model year. The nameplate has been used on
other Ford SUVs, namely the 1984-1990 Bronco II compact SUV and the
2021 Bronco Sport compact crossover. 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 Chevrolet K5 Blazer and Dodge
Ram-charger.
For consignment, the 1990 version of the Bronco II, bathed in a
respray of Cabernet red and Colonial White two tone, sporting
panorama wrap around the top rear tinted glass, a fiberglass front
visor, and a full access tailgate, grab your groover and off to the
Alps for a climb. Climb every mountain. search high and low, follow
every highway, every path you know.
Exterior
All straight steel is neatly put together in square and rectangle
format, minding its gapping, and is all bathed in a respray of
Cabernet Red topping and bottoming Colonial White. A nice front
shiny grille with bumper below and very slightly fogged rectangular
headlights lead the way with the blue oval center badging is all on
and looking factory. A walk around will have you hyped up on the
height to give you visions of sugarplums and wild out of the way
places you can get away to. This generation, with its somewhat
massaged squared off design and long wheelbase, has chromed large
mirrors hanging off of each door. A fiberglass visor shades the
dash, and a swing up fiberglass rear gate offers up all access to
the back storage area. 15-inch drilled and multiple bolted edged
shiny wheels are on all corners and are wrapped in 235/75R15's all
from the 18th week of 2021. The hills are alive, with the sound of
Broncos!
Interior
Climbing inside I'm two toned gray with envy greeted with door
panels bathed in 50 shades of gray, (shoot I forgot my safe word.
but I digress..), and a highlighting panel of light gray broadcloth
pattern, surrounded by molded vinyl and plastic. Power window
toggles are seen and a lower door storage unit is also molded in
and covered on the lowers with the interior neutral gray carpeting.
The seats are shown with broadcloth inserts in various shades of
colored ribbed gray, and surrounded by gray padded bolsters. The
driver's seat has a hole in the side due to wear from access and
egress. The dash has a well preserved gray pad, and is nicely
surrounded by wood applique and black insert panels to house the
instruments. Some of the wood is rounded over, and is also seen and
in front is a factory padded steering wheel slightly worn and in
all black. In the center of the buckets is a large console with a
storage box/padded armrest, and drink holder. Slightly soiled gray
carpeting is installed and the headliner is tight. It has a sunroof
above the front passengers. In back is a 60/40 split back bench
which can be folded down for extra gear storage. A small cargo
areais carpeting covered and slightly soiled in the way back. But
Captain Von Trapp, whistling is for dogs...
Drivetrain
Under the hood is the original 2.9 liter V6 with EFI fuel delivery.
There is an A4LD 4-speed automatic transmission which pushes power
rearward to a Ford 7.5 inch rear axle. Some dust and slight dirt
along with minor surface rust are noted in this unrestored but nice
engine bay.
Undercarriage
Underneath we note some surface rusting that has started to take up
residence on the framing surfaces, however the structure is
unaffected. The framing is sound and all the mechanicals are
working just fine. Noted is radius arm and coil springs for the
front suspension, and leaf springs for the rear. Power disc brakes
are on front and power drums for the rear. A solid stock exhaust is
installed and seen with no rust.
Drive-Ability
This truck started right up and we began our climb, (sic), to the
test track. Here it worked as it should with good acceleration, and
decent handling. Brakes are good and should be as they are fairly
new according to the consigner. All electronics were working just
fine, and a recent PA inspection and fresh oil change has been
performed. I have personally experienced driving one of these in
the hinterlands of BLM in Utah, and we could not destroy it. One
can assume this truck has the same toughness, as it is of the same
vintage. We were crawling around red rock territory, climbing
things that put fear into my heart, especially when you are looking
towards the sky but still moving forward!
This truck is a very nice example, with sporty wheels, big tires
and a nice gray striped graphics for the early 90's motif interior
in broadcloth. Storage in the back, nice ride height, and room for
5, go on git out there into the wilds of the great USA. Get a
little mud on dem tires. I'm Friedrich. I'm 14 and I'm
Impossible!
