No changes were introduced for the 1995 Ford Bronco. The guys in Dearborn were moving away from the rugged outdoorsy utility vehicle idea and toward the luxurious "sport-utility vehicle" concepts targeted at suburban drivers, so the last few years of the Bronco were something of a lame-duck enterprise.
None of this put off a core of Bronco fans, who welcomed the '95 Bronco as they had its predecessors. Although the Bronco was never a bargain model, price-wise, plenty of buyers were willing to take a hefty sticker as long as it delivered power, durability, and off-road versatility, and the 1995 Bronco excelled in all of those areas.
Four-wheel drive was standard on all models, and the Bronco had the heft, ground clearance, and rugged suspension to take on challenging terrain. Three trims were available for the '95 Ford Bronco: XL, XLT, and Eddie Bauer.

These are the last of when trucks were built right. And unlike anything made today, your average Bronco can just as easily get you to work as it can get you in trouble. Fun trouble. You'll never want for power, in fact when you can visibly see the fuel needle moving you might want for less. But that's okay. These were made in the day when fun was affordable and some of us like to remember that.
Some tips for better mileage:
-Roll your backseat forward as often as possible to distribute the weight more easily. (Or just remove the thing)
-Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant. About 6-8oz in every other full tank. I also tend to dump a bottle of Seafoam every other month or so.
-I hope this doesn't need to be said but, K&N Filter. You'll be surprised.
With these and (sometimes) careful driving I can get about 15-16 city and 18-19 hwy. Do yourself a favor and skip over any automatic you find. The trans has a tendency to lag when tooling around town and hang on in third til you give it some throttle and back off til it upshifts. Waste of gas and torque. I suppose an Auto Bronco is better than no Bronco, but this beast was made with fun in mind.
Eddie Bauer Edition: Very nice trim. Keep the leather well treated or you'll be prone to tears in the breathable stippling- Meguiars makes some of the best. Your rear window will (WILL) leak without proper reapplication of weatherstripping every couple of years or so; as such the carpeting in back will hold in any moisture and rust out your bed. Suggestion: tear it out and Rhinoline or Diamondplate the cargo bed.
And most importantly, enjoy what proper American engineering feels like to drive.Jun 15, 2012

It is an amazing Beast. I love this truck. From now on, there will be a Bronco in my driveway. It will last you forever if you take care of it. The 351 Windsor really helps it move, and is an amazing, if thirsty, performer. I have one of the only ones in my town and get compliments from everyone. I even had a guy in a 208 BMW 7 series roll down his window and tell me how great looking my truck is. I wouldn't trade it for anything.Oct 02, 2010

This was my work truck on the farm...it was a beast. It finished any job! Could
haul a trailer of hay or a trailer of muck from the stables. Used it to plow the
snow and plow the fields. Easily went through the forest down tight paths and
could handle just about anything. It was fun for off-road and very well made!
Interior was so comfy and springy you barely felt the jolts of the trip.May 17, 2010

got this truck mid summer in El Paso Texas, and the first thing that got my attention was the way it looked like you could throw anything at it, and it would keep on going. after getting it stuck 4 or 5 times i realized that i need bigger tires and a lift but that will come with tax time. over all this is the nicest truck i have ever driven, its easy to park and very roomy. and unless you take it in a reservoir that it just rained in it wont get stuck. over all a beautiful truck.

Nothing like the handling of an IFS system well tunned with double shock absorbers on each of the Massive 31 x 10.5 x R15 A/T of the Bronco, Its awesome how you can really rely on the massive and sturdy stabilizer bars on the front and the rear ends, once you changed the comon black rubber for polyurethane ones... The truck feels stiff and firm, no matter the terrain.
When talking about Building quality, it only haves one weakness tnat can be solved adding an extra link on the chassis on the front area of the engine to avoid craking the engine bridge that links the chassis to the IFS system, once you did that linkage using a sturdy bar, the truck its almost undestructible. The trransmission system its very strong no matter if you´re running on the M50D wich is the Mazda Manual 5speed Transmision or the E40d wich its the 4speed overdriven electrical automatic shift transmision. This automatic transmission, by the way, its the swiz watch of the ford tansmissions, it works so efficiently and smoothly that you´ll harldy notice the shiftings.
Engine talking... The only V8 engine I´ve tryed its the 302EFI, and I got no complaints, its an amazing engine, so reliable as army stuff, 400.000km on it and stills haves beatifull compression and no oil comsumption, and mines V8 haves 275 thousands Km and the vacuum of the valvetrain stills working beautiful, its a powerful engine, that can take you wherever you want to go, you have available plenty of torque from the 1400rpm and a flat curve of HP from 1800, so in the manual transmision set you can travel at 130km/h in a diesel like 2300rpm.
This truck never breaks, only maintain it and it will last more than you, so the overall cost of having it is not high at all. Only take care about the brakes, because as it is a really heavy truck (more than 2 tons) the brake system is constantly under heavy pressure and stress.
The best part of being a Bronco Owner is that you´ll be able to travel fast, safe and confortable as long as you want to go, but when de road ends... just rely on your Low range 4WD and the power of its small block heavy duty Iron V8 engine, and you´ll see how far it can take you withou worrying about space, because there its PLENNTY! its a terrific truck!
No more words about the full size Bronco, for me its a Ford emblematic car that represents the spirit of the make just like the Mustang.Dec 04, 2008

Easy to park in tight places, great off the road, and it has been on
many rocky places.Feb 18, 2008
I have a 1995 Ford Bronco, Eddie Bauer edition. It's full size with a 1994 rebuilt transmission. I'm don't know a lot about vehicles so need something simple. The ABS light came on, then the speedometer stopped working, then shifting became hard at first and second gear, now the OD light is blinking. No check engine light. I tried to get the codes downloaded but I didn’t have any luck. Has anyone had this same thing happen that may know what caused it and how it can be repaired?
