I am reluctantly selling my 1990 Ford Bronco II, 4x4.  2.9 liter, v6 engine. The truck starts right up, and sounds good. There is almost none of the common lifter "tick" that these 2.9's are infamous for. This nice looking truck has 6 inches of body lift (and some suspension lift too) and oversized (brand new) tires (31.5 inch).  It's the 5 speed manual transmission and has manual shift 4x4 and manual locking hubs. Trust me, the electronic hubs and shifters are NOT worth the pain. Keep it simple...and always dependable!  I put a new clutch in it right after I bought it (about 3-4 years ago) and new oversized shock absorbers, front and rear.  The paint is in pretty good shape. There is some fading. Numerous chips and dings here and there. Very minimal body rust. One spot of rust on a rear fender can be seen (see pic).  There are a couple of indentions on the upper part of the left front fender. These would probably pop right out if you have one of those suction tools. The frame and underbody is in good condition and has nothing but surface rust. This has not been driven much on salted roads.

The Interior is not in great condition. But is okay. The front seats need replacing. The passenger seat is not too bad, but drivers' seat is very worn, mostly from climbing up and down into the lifted cab..  Carpet is aged and stained. Headliner is good. Back seats are very nice. Dash has some cracking. 

Here are some things that I know DO NOT WORK:

AC not working.

No stereo. There are some speakers present. Just no radio.

Passenger-side door is not opening. And the electric window and lock on that side is not working.

Please understand that this is a very highly lifted truck. That means that this is not a vehicle for your 16 year old daughter or your crazy teenaged son.  They will roll it over.  This is a vehicle made for looking cool or for someone who wants to do 4x4 jeep trails.  It is not a drag racer. The rear end is not stock, and seems to be pretty high speed. This means that the initial take off of this truck is sluggish. The small 2.9 liter doesn't jump out of the gates as it pushes these BIG tires and all the body lift. It cruises really comfortably at 45 to 55 mph. But I wouldn't drive it long distances, as it's simply not safe at high speeds. It is top heavy.  When using the 4 wheel drive in low range, this truck creeps along and will pull just about anything in the world up a mountain. It's a great trail rig. It is a fun to drive and fun to look at truck.  I hate to let it go.

Note about the Vehicle History Report Summary: the sole discrepancy here is the previous owner had to have a new title printed by DMV due to losing the old one. He didn't have the mileage of the vehicle with him, so he simply put down 100,000. But the actual mileage was somewhere between 60,000 to 70,000 on the odometer. The reason the truck has been driven so few miles in the last number of years is because IT IS A LIFTED TRUCK. You don't take these on vacation drives across the USA.  There's nothing I can do the clear this title issue up, due the previous bonehead owner!  But look at the rest of the report and you can see there has never been an accident.  Hope this explains the issue.

Since it is 23 years old, the truck is sold "as-is" and where it is.  There is no warranty expressed or implied. I have done my best to accurately describe the vehicle. a $300 deposit will be required within 24 hours of auction end. If the deposit is not received in that time period, I will automatically relist the item.  Don't bid unless you plan on buying the truck.  There's not that many of these trucks left, so let the people who know what they're doing have them. Okay?!!  The truck is for sale locally for $2000.  People just started looking at it today (March 16). I reserve the right to end the auction early if I sell it locally (regardless of bidding history on the eBay auction.)

Please read this listing carefully and look at all the pictures. If you still have questions, then fire away. I'll do my best to answer in a timely fashion.

Ford faces class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles without brake override systems

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

A total of 20 Ford customers are suing the automaker in a class-action lawsuit for selling vehicles "vulnerable to unintended acceleration." According to Reuters, the suit names 30 models built between 2002 and 2010 with electronic throttle control systems but without a brake override system. Those include the 2004-2012 F-Series pickups and the 2005-2009 Lincoln Town Car. Adam Levitt, a partner with the law firm of Grant & Eisenhofer says the plaintiffs in the case want "to be compensated for their economic losses by having overpaid for cars that contained defects." Levitt contends that the plaintiffs would not have bought their vehicles or paid less for them had they known there was no brake override system in place.
Ford began installing brake override systems in its vehicles beginning in 2010. In response to the lawsuit, Ford has pointed to research by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that indicated that unintended acceleration is mostly caused by driver error, saying in a statement that, "NHTSA's work is far more scientific and trustworthy than work done by personal injury lawyers and their paid experts."
Belville et al v. Ford Motor Co. will be heard in US District Court in the Southern District of West Virginia.

Recharge Wrap-up: Ford's "snowtonomous" Fusion Hybrid, Porsche eyes battery makers

Fri, Mar 11 2016

Bosch and Panasonic are vying to be the battery supplier for Porsche's electric sports car based on the Mission E concept. While Bosch's costs may be higher, its solution would offer simpler logistics. Panasonic is already well established as a battery maker, providing the packs for the Porsche car's rival, Tesla. "We're in the final stage of making a decision," says Porsche CEO Oliver Blume, declining to comment on specific manufacturers. Neither Bosch nor Panasonic provided comment. Read more from Automotive News. Renault will supply a fleet of 150 Renault Zoe EVs for a smart solar charging project in Utrecht, Netherlands. The project involves the installation of 1,000 EV chargers powered by 10,000 photovoltaic panels. The Renault Zoes would be used as part of a carsharing program powered by the solar chargers. Renault and its partners will also implement a vehicle-to-grid system to provide energy during peak demand from the solar chargers and connected EVs. Read more in the press release from Renault. Ford has been testing an autonomous Fusion Hybrid prototype that is capable of driving itself in snowy conditions. Ford uses 3D mapping to scan the drive route. Its LiDAR laser mapping can even detect single falling snowflakes. It collects and processes up to 600 gigabytes of data per hour, comparing its environment to saved maps, a process that helps establish location more precisely than GPS. In addition to the LiDAR systems, the car is also equipped with cameras and radar to help it navigate. Eventually, the car could even be able to clean off its sensors when it detects loss of performance from ice and dirt. Read more in the press release below. FROM AUTONOMY TO SNOWTONOMY: HOW FORD FUSION HYBRID AUTONOMOUS RESEARCH VEHICLE CAN NAVIGATE IN WINTER DEARBORN, Mich., March 10, 2016 – Driving in snow can be a slippery challenge, with the potential for one blizzardy gust to white-out your field of view – a situation faced by the majority of people in the United States. So if self-driving cars are to become a reality – and they almost certainly will – they must be able to navigate snow-covered roads. In its quest to bring self-driving vehicles to millions of people around the world, Ford reveals six facts about its technology that allows for a car to drive itself in snow. 1. Mapping the way: Ford first creates high-resolution 3D maps using LiDAR technology to scan the area its autonomous vehicle will later drive in the snow.

2022 Rivian R1T vs. 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning vs. GMC Hummer EV Pickup | How they compare on paper

Tue, Sep 28 2021

The 2022 Rivian R1T has arrived, ushering in the era of the production electric pickup truck. The Rivian reviews are in, and spoiler alert: They're pretty good. Curious how the new battery-powered truck stacks up to its forthcoming competitors? Well, you've come to the right place. Rivian beat all of Detroit's big automakers to market in the half-ton segment, but probably not by the margin the startup would have liked. Ford's answer is the F-150 Lightning, which is due to enter production early next year, coming hot on the heels of GM's first entry into the space – the GMC Hummer EV pickup – which is scheduled to come off the line late this fall. While all three are pickups, they're aimed at distinctly different buyers, as a perusal of their specifications will reveal. Let's have a look, shall we?   Disclaimer: Before we dive in on this one, we'd like to note that while we've made our best effort to verify the specs provided, the Rivian is brand-new and the others are still in the prototype phase. Some of these figures may be inaccurate or may simply change before production. This is all hypothetical until you can actually cross-shop them anyway, right? Cool. End disclaimer. Let's start with the powertrains. They're all battery-electric trucks engineered on a modular rear-wheel-drive configuration engineered to accommodate (theoretically, anyway) up to four electric drive units. Rivian actually makes the most use of this with a quad-motor setup producing 835 horsepower and 908 pound-feet of torque with its high-output initial model. GMC's three-motor Hummer has the R1T beat with its estimated 1,000-horsepower output, while Ford's (also three-motor) comes in with a far more modest 563 horses. This is an excellent illustration of our above point that these are not all engineered for the same crowd. Ford's F-150, which comes in at a lower price point, is meant to be far more mainstream, as its power output suggests.  This theme continues when we look at the dimensions. Despite the image "Hummer" may conjure, GMC's entry actually needs the shallowest parking space. The Rivian is right behind it, with the work-truck-spec Ford extending more than a foot longer than either. What the Hummer lacks in length, it makes up for in girth. It's the widest by a good 5 inches. The Rivian is only slightly pudgier than the F-150, but it's much closer at that end of the scale.
