Awesome convertible type off-road 4x4 utility vehicle
I love that this truck is four wheel drive. It has an automatic shift with automatic locking hubs that are very sturdy for your everyday 4wd needs. With a relatively short wheel base and larger v8 engine it tows and drives and reverses with a trailer very easy with some practice and without large blind spots. It has a bullet proof motor that rarely if ever will leave your stranded , tons of power , drives well and all electronics has worked great for 20+ years. Seats have never ripped and air filled lumbar supports still hold air and inflate like new. All climate control works and blows very hot and very cold its got great pickup and is very substantial on the road. It sits up nice and high and has acts as a truck and an SUV with the removable top and tailgate , except it turns better and gets better gas mileage and looks way cooler with no top on it. The original paint has held up great as well as all of the windows, lights and other electronics always working for the most part. It for such a big motor gets better gas mileage then most similarly equipped 4x4 trucks and is definitely a classic good looking well sought after ride that many people constantly compliment me on and always to purchase because of its massive following due too it great classic styling and amazing record for good service and its ability to find parts and easily and afford-ably be maintained.

Good outdoors bad in the city
It is good while outdoors and camping and if you need a lot of storage space in your vehicle but other than that it is not ideal. Plus it is an indoor storage in the back and the back seat lay down so that you can fit almost anything into it that you would into a truck. Overall it has been fun to own and if the miles per gallon were different then I would keep it and continue using it.

A well built vehicle with few issues over 20 years
The 1989 Eddie Bauer Bronco is a fantastic vehicle. Though I bought it from a family member when it was about 17 years old it had only 75,000 miles on it and still ran great. Since I have owned it there has been very few issues such as oil leaks, the rear window motor has struggled and worked on and off. Other than that the vehicles engine has had no major issues and I have put about 50,000 miles on it since I've owned it. The owner exterior issue has been the rear bumper which has had rust above it and directly below the bottom part of the tailgate. The interior carpet, seats, and all other interior items have held up great and have had with held any sort of wear.
