1988 Ford Bronco Ii Xl Sport Sport Utility 2-door 2.9l on 2040-cars
United States
|
1988 Bronco II 2WD– V6 2.9L EFI with a 5-speed Over Drive Manual Transmission. This is not your normal 1988 vehicle. We are the original owners so we know what has happened with this truck since the day we picked it up with 23 miles on the odometer. We ran the factory oil for the first 2K miles then changed to Mobile 1 Synthetic and have changed the oil every 3K since using Mobile 1. Currently there are 209K miles on the original engine. The 5-speed OD tranny had to have a couple gears replaced about 20K miles ago as they were howling. Even though the clutch was still serviceable we replaced the disc and pressure plate as a preventive measure. The tires have less than 2K miles on them and it has aluminum wheels. This truck has never been driven in a Michigan or other snowy state’s winter. It was repainted in 2012 to a near factory color and it has Ghost Flames. When it was repainted the following was replaced: Door Seals, Window Seals, Marker Lights, Taillight/Brake Light Assemblies, Carpet (sound deadening insulation installed), Front Seat Belt Assemblies, Windshield and trim, Bumpers, Grille and Insert, Ford Emblems, Mirrors, Door Handles, and anything that was not replaced was repainted to look new. As you can see by the plates the Bronco is registered in Alaska but that is only because we are military and that is where we last registered it. The Bronco has never been to Alaska and has been in storage\restoration with family in Michigan since 2007. We were home last year for vacation and drove the Bronco all over Michigan for two weeks with no issues, including a trip up north @75MPH. This is a 26 year old vehicle but has been well cared for. It may not handle/drive like your 2013 Escape, Explorer or F-150 but definitely turns heads when you cruise down the road and is fun to drive.

Ward's reveals annual 10 Best Engines list for 2013
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Ward's Auto has released its annual 10 Best Engines award winners. The 2013 list covers the full width and breadth of the internal combustion spectrum, from a spate of efficient four-cylinders to the most powerful production V8 on the planet. As always, the entries must be available in a production vehicle in the first quarter of 2013 with an MSRP of less than $55,000. The supercharged 3.0-liter V6 from the Audi S5 held on for the fourth consecutive year, and BMW earned two spots on the list with its turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder and turbo 3.0-liter inline-six.
Ford pulled in two awards for its 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder and and the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 from the Shelby GT500. Honda matched BMW and Ford with two wins of its own. Wards awarded the 2.4-liter four-cylinder from the Honda Accord Sport as well as the 3.5-liter V6 from the Honda Accord. Chrysler, General Motors and Subaru each garnered a spot on the list as well for the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500, the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the Cadillac ATS and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder the Subaru BRZ, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information.
2015 Ford F-Series Super Duty is class-leading once again
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Time for everyone to feign surprise - Ford has just announced that it has the increased horsepower and torque levels of its 6.7-liter Power Stroke turbodiesel V8 engine for 2015. As you'd expect, the Blue Oval is claiming class-leading figures of 440 hp (up from 400) and 860 pound-feet (up from 800), and that's enough to enable Ford's F-450 Super Duty model to tow as much as 31,200 pounds, which, again, the automaker claims is class leading.
Now, it should be noted that the max rating quoted above is achieved with the Ford F-450. The 2015 F-350, which is perhaps a better comparison to the Ram 3500 HD pickup that claimed the towing crown in 2013 at an even 30,000 pounds, is capped at 26,500 pounds, either with a gooseneck or when towing a fifth-wheel trailer. In any case, it's going to take a load the size of Godzilla to make any of the current crop of fullsize heavy-duty pickup trucks break into a sweat. For those keeping track, Chevy rates its 2015 Silverado HD at a maximum of 23,200 pounds.
Ford's newfound pulling power comes courtesy of a larger turbocharger for its in-house Power Stroke engine, new fuel injector tips and, we'd assume, retuned computer controls. Besides the engine enhancements, the F-350 gets a wider front track for 2015 and new front springs, while the F-450 gains commercial-grade 19.5-inch wheels and tires, new rear U-joints, leaf springs, stabilizer bars and shocks. The steering and brake systems have also been upgraded.
Motor Trend pits Subaru WRX vs. Ford Focus ST
Thu, 23 Jan 2014The Ford Focus ST has enjoyed a relatively calm, if brief, reign in the world of hot hatches. With nothing else in the class (in the States, at least) but the aging Mazdaspeed3 and Subaru Impreza WRX and the slow-selling Volkswagen Golf R, the Blue Oval's 252-horsepower five door has been the go-to vehicle for those that don't need the high-octane lunacy (and expense) of the rally bred Subaru Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X.
Now, though, as the new Subaru WRX (it's not an Impreza anymore, though, neither is it a hatchback...) starts to arrive at dealers, the Focus ST appears to be under threat for the first time. Naturally, Motor Trend is here to figure out which one is the best, with another one of its Head 2 Head videos. Host Jonny Lieberman puts both cars through their paces, going above and beyond, quite literally, at the very end of the video.
Have a look below and let us know what you think of MT's verdict in Comments.
