96 Bronco — Great utility vehicle. Bronco is great off road (as long as it's not on narrow trails) and outstanding in the snow. Have had mine every where from the deserts of California to traveling the trails of Kodiak Island, AK. It is definitely a TRUCK and not like the car based SUV's made today which can be a pro or con depending on your likes.

Ford Bronco — I take very good care of this Bronco and treat it like it was my child. It is in excellent condition and it is not hard to maintain. To anyone wanting to get one I would recommend getting one for yourself

Age has caused some problems.  Gas mileage could be better.

Great Truck! Even With The Problems This Truck Is Very Responsible. — 5.0 Litre V8 Engine MPG - 13-15 Acceleration - Easy even if a little on the slow side. Interior - 5 seater, large cab, large storage space. Exterior - Maroon, has rust patches over tires. Fun To Drive? - Extremely! Even if built in 1996, this truck can take almost everything, smooth road to tough terrain.

1996 Bronco — i love my bronco. i have never had any major problems with it. there are quite a few rattles and squeaks but you get used to them after a while. the cost of ownership is crazy espicially if your talking about gas mileage. on a good week i can pull maybe 14mpg. other than that

It was a great car for driving "off-road".

Cons

It sucked gas and was huge and hard to maneuver.

Beastly Bronco — I got it as a hand me down and it was huge for me. I'm tiny and I felt lost in it. It was wide and hard to maneuver, but it was quite the beast. Drove it in a ditch and out no problem. It was a horrible Turquoise color. I hated that...
