The 1996 Ford Bronco was the last of its line produced with the exception of a concept car that made an appearance at shows in 2004. The Bronco would give way to the Expedition.
The Bronco would go out in style, with an available TV and VCR available for its top trim (the Centurion) for its final model year.
The Bronco remains a favorite of off-road enthusiasts and tuners alike, even after a decade out of production. There's much to love in the '96 Bronco; its Twin Tractor Beam suspension, high ground clearance, and solid 4-wheel drive make it much better at taking on tough off-road terrain than a lot of later 4x4 vehicles.
People looking for a project find the Bronco to be a great base for experimentation; its two-and-a-half tons of solid Detroit steel mean you can jack it up or low-ride it to your heart's content and still have a rugged, durable ride.
Yes, it's basic, boxy, and a little bouncy in the interior, but that's part of the Bronco's charm to many drivers. Even after all the fancy SUVs that have succeeded it, the 1996 Bronco remains a popular American classic.
What owners say
"Overall, Bronco owners really appreciate the vehicle's performance, especially in off-road conditions and snow. They love the nostalgic feel and the fun experiences it offers, like being able to remove the top for a summer cruise. However, many drivers are frustrated with the poor gas mileage and maintenance costs associated with older models, which can come with various mechanical quirks and upkeep challenges."
What can I say about the Bronco that hasn''t already been said, it's fun, cool, paid for, has a tourqy ass 351 Windsor, super reliable, easy to work on, built like a tank it will go anywhere, Awesome in the snow, easy to park, full size hardware on a Jeep wheelbase, easy to find parts for (F-150 commonality) and looks the part.
November 13, 2009The vehicle was what I was looking for, however with almost 240,000 miles. There is no chance in h#ll I would pay what they want, at almost 17,000 dollars. Price gouging is not something I will be party too!
April 22, 2022Its got decent power for how big it is. It is very reliable with the 5.0 and has never given me any issues. It looks unique around all of the 4 door SUVS and is more fun than they can ever be.

June 30, 2013performs just like any SUV normal repair and replacement of parts throughout 11 years of driving, smooth ride & quiet cabin very clean and near new interior, exterior held up well over decade poor gas mileage, moderate maintenance costs, easy DIY service strong character, very fun in mud
February 21, 2009great performance and build, reliable, looks good, very retro
January 3, 2008I 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
October 19, 2011Best SUV ever made. great off roader. practically a truck. alot can be done to them. parts are usually plentiful. look badass. sound bad ass. great to drive. bad gas mileage. no matter what there tall. you cant beat the 4 wheel drive.
November 19, 2009Upper-end of the Broncos, XLT leather, running boards, 5.8L engine. Had for a lonf time still running with 150,000+ miles and barely any maintenance needed.
December 19, 2007Honestly, I LOVE this vehicle in general!!! Does it have its flaws? Absolutely!!!! Its prone to jerking when going over bumps in the road and can easily make you lose control of your vehicle and easily flip it.. which is quite a REALLY BAD FLAW, ...BUT... i still think the good outweighs the bad on a vehicle like this!! This is a vehicle that you cant help but make lasting memories in!!! Everywhere you go, youll get compliments on your vehicle!! It doesnt matter if the top is on or off (off was always my personal favorite), youre guaranteed to have an enjoyable time cruising around in this beast and have a smile plasterer on your face! Its 4x4 is almost guaranteed to get you out of any sticky situation with ease and if you ever get the chance to own one- and for some reason either sell or wreck it, youll be GUARANTEED to miss it for life, just like I do!! They just leave a lasting impression like that.... mine will forever be missed, and Im still looking to find a replacement to fill that void in my life again after my tragic accident... GET YOUR FRONT END DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON YOUR BRONCO IMMEDIATELY!!! DONT DELAY LIKE I DID!!!
June 14, 2022The interior has been completely replaced and the custom center console is perfect.
