My Bronco Buddy has been more faithful than my ex. I did have the trans rebuilt in Jan,2009 other than that it has not had any other work done in the 302,000 miles I have accumulated. My Bronco runs great still to this day.

This was the truck I grew up in, literally. My folks bought it when I was in high school and I inherited it from them. It currently has 214,000 miles on the original engine (5.0) and transmission (E4od). I just finished a 500 mile weekend trip over the weekend for wedding stuff, and it never missed a beat. Ever. Even with all this mileage I set the cruise at 63 mph and it chugged along all night and got 15 mpg too boot! This truck has never been abused, and it shows. That's NOT too say that it hasn't been worked very hard. I tow crap, carry crap, run crap over, and drive through crap. This sucker is indestructible. You will never go wrong.
Love the truck!

I absolutely love this truck. I just turned 16 and got it for a first truck. It sounds great and drives smooth. It took me a while to figure out how you take it outta for wheel drive. All ya got to do is put it in neutral and press the brake. I have 37" tires on it with an 8 inch lift with the 351 under the hood. And I'm getting around 13 miles to the gallon. So it's awesome. I would recommend this for anyone.

I use my Bronco as a daily driver during the week and on the weekends I take it mudding through the Georgia red clay. Although mudding and off roading put years of wear and tear and the only complications I have were do to my stupid teenage invincibility beliefs totaling $1200 in parts, but I won't make that mistake twice

Best truck Ive driven. Great drive- ability, great power will climb the toughest grades on snow or rain. Every part of this truck can be found in part stores or LMC Truck. Mine has 160,000 miles on it and it still starts and runs every time. The five speed manual is bullet proof never had to work on it. It still shifts as smooth as ever. To sum it all up this truck gets a ten from me because it just keeps going and going.
The Best

This was hands down the best truck I have ever owned. It had its typical repairs you would expect from a 12 year old truck, but it ran strong and reliably until it decided to spontaneously combust. The engine compartment burst into flames after sitting for five days and not running at all. Other than the fire it was a fantastic vehicle and will be sorely missed.
My Favorite Ride!

I have had no major problems with my Bronco. Just the usual wear and tear things. It has 114,000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I have had several people come up to me and ask if I want to sell it. No way! Still looks new. It's a beauty!
Awesome Truck

This is my second '94 Bronco. I've put
over 150,000 miles in Broncos and have
only had to do 1 repair (other than
basic maint like oil, battery, tune ups
every 30k) in the past 11 years on both
trucks. Awesome ride, power, cargo
space. Tough as nails and looks great.
Current one has 157,000 miles, just put
a new rear end (the 1 repair) and it
drives like new. Solid truck that will
hold whats left of its value. Safe,
fun, and powerful.
Be Careful

We owned it for 2 months with no
problems. Then we had to drive to
Texas. On the 2nd day of our journe the
fan was torqued off and hit the
waterpump.(We were pulling a 88 Bronco
2). So we got the waterpump replaced.
Then 40mi down the road it happened
again, this time it broke the waterpump
and the radiator. So we fixed all that
and another 50 miles later the fuel
pump and fuel filter went bad. So all
and all between having to be towed and
getting parts fixed it cost us about
$1000. Also the back windshield stopped
working fom the rear and the switch had
to be relaced on the dash. You also
can't roll the passenger window back up
from the drivers side.
Works great A++++++

GREAT TRUCK! Recently took a trip to
the great desert southwest and went on
several desert trails over rocks and
through the sand. Best place to test
was Grand Staircase where the big
Bronco handels a bit like a 2.5 ton
solid axle go-kart. Great Fun!
Interior very functional without all
the soccer-mom baby-buggy BS the
Expedition has (oh, did I mention it
handels great off road too?), great
power, great transfer case (BW 1356
Manual), great suspension.
It's a 4x4, not an suv

I bought the Bronco just a few months
ago, and so far have been very
pleased. My previous Bronc was a '81,
no power but also bullet proof.
The '94 I now own had 63000 miles on it
when I bought it. The power of the 351
is insane. There is always more power
when you need it. Steering is typical
Ford TTB, but a Rancho steering
stabilizer helps. Dual Rancho RS 5000
up front and RS 9000 5 way adjust in
the rear is great. The only problem is
that the speed control suddenly stopped
working. Fit and finish is good, with
a little squeek and rattle here and
there. None the less, the Bronco is
very stable and built to last.
Sure Choice

I bought my 1994 Bronco XLT in August
2002 as my first truck. Over the past
seven months, i have been dully
impressed with my Bronoco. It is
undoubtedly the most sturdy, most
reliable, and most fun to drive truck
that i have ever been in. Although it
only gets about 16-17 mpg, i would
highly recommend a Bronoco for anyone
in the market for a modestly priced
reliable, safe, and extremely versatile
truck. It drives very smoothly on the
road and definitely has proven off-road
capabilities. On one off-roading trip i
pulled 4 Chevy trucks that got stuck
out with virtually no effort. Go with
the Bronco, it's a sure choice that
will never fail.
excellent for what it is!

Purchased used with 91000 miles on it
and now have 108000. 351 is smooth,
consistant and capable of hauling
virtually anything. Trany is reliable
but unremarkable. 4wd is crude but
effective. Interior functional but
comfortable. Easy vehicle to work on.
Rust is forming in all the usual places
and tailgate design is poor. Excel.
turning radius, ride quality not bad.
NO MECH. PROBLEMS, V.DEPENDABLE, NO
RATTLES OR SQUEEKS. Looking to impress
yourself not your neighbors, Looking to
make friends with a "real truck" not a
SUV, this rig is perfect. Strong and
functional. Feels like an old good
friend.
Love this Bronc

I have a 94 Bronco Eddie Bauer, and
have not been dissapointed. 351W, with
the E40D tranny has been a good
combination with this truck too. I have
33" tires, and there is no noticeable
power decrease due to the diameter
change. Wide enough for a sheet
of plywood, but short enough to pull a
U-turn on most residential streets. The
only beef I have with this machine is
the overall braun of the parts. My old
85 Bronco was beaten
twice as hard as the 94, yet the 94
seems to break more. For the money,
especially comparing to new SUV's, a
good used Bronco is the way to go. DO
NOT BUY A K-5 BLAZER
