Anybody drive a full size Bronco?

January 28, 2010, 05:26:08 PM

I sold the 84 and I'm looking to replace it with a truck. I would like a 88-96 4WD, 5.0 or 5.8, Auto tranny, Extended cab F150. I'm not having very much luck finding one around here that meets all my needs but there are plenty of nice affordable Broncos.

I'm sure a Bronco could tow whatever I needed (maybe a Fox Cougar/Tbird) but how is the cargo room in them behind the rear seat? Could I just toss an engine in the back of one of these to transport it home if needed? Thanks guys!

I wouldn't suggest any real towing with a Bronco. The short wheelbase makes it a little more difficult than an extended cab. Just keep looking for a truck, there's plenty out there. I daily drove a '78 Bronco around with an IH 392, C4, and C6 for a couple months, and I must say, the rear seat had to be removed, lol. Without the seat, there's ample room, but at the risk of making a fast stop, everything will fly into the back of your head.

Thanks for the info. I am really not planning any real towing, just want the option if I should need it. I do think a truck would be more handy to have, just looking to keep my options open. Anybody else feel free to chime in!

my 90 bronco 351 with 5speed eddie baur edition has a lot of room in there for stuff to toss in back.

towing,, it does it cs around here but the rear suspenion isnt all that great. It will sag pretty easy for some reason.

Because it's not a truck, not meant to have as much weight in it.

I've heard of some guys swapping truck springs on 'em...probably makes the ride rough as hell. Hard to beat a truck for well, truck-type cs, IMO.
