In a world full of crossovers and almost-trucks, sometimes it's nice to hark back to a time when a 4X4 meant business. The fourth-generation Ford Bronco, which lasted from 1987 to 1991, ushered in arguably the most memorable version of this truck. This 1989 Ford Bronco XLT 4X4, wearing a full repaint of its Alpine Green Poly exterior, which now includes its once-tan hardtop, shows why this truck has remained a constant in our memory banks. This truck has been upgraded with a big six-inch lift, helpful Carr side steps, front LED lights and roof running lights to help it stand out anywhere it goes.
Inside, the Ford Light Chestnut cloth interior is warm enough to be comfortable, but Spartan enough to retain its tough truck persona. A center console separates a pair of bucket seats, while a two-spoke power-assisted wheel comes with thumb controls for cruise control. Power door locks, windows, and air conditioning all allow this truck to be compliant and civilized when necessary. A Boss Audio AM/FM/AUX touchscreen offers Bluetooth connectivity and a backup camera. At the same time, a trio of white-faced auxiliary gauges sits under the dash and provides feedback for water pressure, oil pressure, and battery voltage.
Under the hood, we find a version of Ford's venerable 5.0-liter small-block V-8, which sports a single four-barrel Edelbrock AVS 2 carburetor. A dual-to-single exhaust system expels spent gases through a factory-replacement muffler. Power is routed through a C6 three-speed automatic transmission before being sent to either just the rear wheels via a Dana 30 axle or to all four corners, thanks to four-wheel drive.
