Used 1989 Ford Bronco for Sale

I bought this vehicle for two reasons. First was a bit of nostalgia. My Father owned a Bronco the first year they came out, so it was a bit of remembering the good times and wanting to share those with my kids. The other reason was for the benefits a four wheel truck would offer - being able to go off roading, go to the snow without fear of getting stuck, camping, or just long trips together. This Bronco offered room for my family, enough room for everything we wanted to bring, and comfort for my wife and I. It had a larger engine so I could tow anything I needed and that came in handy when I moved my kids into their college dorms. Gas mileage sucked, but that was expected with an 8 cylinder engine and I did not buy it for the mileage. It was the bigger Bronco, so I felt safe whenever I was traveling. But it was still, at least it appeared, small enough that I could fit in most areas without fear of hitting anything. Due to its size, I also felt very safe when riding in it. My prior car was a VW Bug and sometimes I was a little fearful, especially on long trips competing with the big rigs. Sitting higher than most (after I put on larger tires) I really felt in command of the road and in command of my driving.

I have now owned this truck for about 3 months and don't really have many problems with it. I really like that fact that even though it is 26 years old, it still gets pretty good gas mileage and still runs pretty well. I am not a big fan of where a lot of things were placed for the driver. The window switches are lower on the door panel and not easy to see at night, I really dislike the wiper switch being on the dash because you have to remove your hands from the steering wheel in order to turn them on/higher. I do like the fact that I have an SUV so I can bring my kids around with me, but at the same time I can load my tools up and go out on a job in needed.
