We purchased our 1996 Bronco XLT new in September of 96 in Fresno California for my wife as her daily driver. It is equipped with the 5.8L Auto, Quad front shocks, Towing Package, loaded with Leather Interior. It spent the first 14 years in California’s Mojave Desert. Absolutely no rust and been off road maybe 5 times in it’s life. We added the 6″ lift and the M/T Classic II Wheels with 14.50/35/15″ BFG All Terrain Tires. It has been one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. It now resides in Huntsville Alabama as my daily driver with 253,000 miles and still going strong.
