Are full size ford broncos good cars?

Solid truck. Many parts swap with a period F-150. Can take many different engine/tranny combo's. I'm looking to buy an '88 right now…

I had a 87 full sized 4x4 very good on and off road but it did not like to pass a gas station it only got about 12 miles on the road so if gas mile is a problem I would not get one

I had a 95 that I put over 200k miles on. The only major repair was a transmission rebuild. Fuel mileage wasn't particularly good. When mine was stock it got around 11-14 MPG, with 14 MPG being only attainable on 300+ mile road trips.

  • Would it be weird if I bought a full size van as my first car? I'm 17 and I want to buy my first car. I'm used to driving SUVs and pickup trucks. I have always liked full size passenger vans. I like being able to haul things and customize it. I really like the 1992-97 Ford E150 XLT 7 passenger van. Would it be weird if I bought one as my first car? I'm talking about a van.
  • Aren't you amazed by the capabilities and the size of today's full-size pickup trucks? I drive a 2011 Ford Ranger XLT 4x2 with a 4.0 liter V6 (~245 ci.) engine. I was looking up the specs for early-mid 1960s F100s (considered full-size), and they have nearly the same GVWR, towing capacity, payload, horsepower, wheelbase, and height as my "compact" truck. In your opinion, do you think today's full-size trucks are amazing or too fancy/over-sized (a traditionalist like me)? P.S.: I like all American vehicles
  • Ford transit full-size cargo van? I'm planing buy new transit full-size cargo van, ford offer 3 engines: 3.7L TI-VCT V6, 3.5L ecoboost V6 and 3.2L I5 diesel which one would you recommend and why?
  • What is a better truck mid and full size used trucks? I'm not sure of what truck to get. I won't be towing much but nice to have a bed for firewood, moving furniture etc and I like trucks. Out of these full and midsize what is a good truck to get used and reliable good on gas for a truck etc. Between the years of 2005-2009 and 2011 or newer Chevy Colorado old and new Ford f 150 Toyota Tundra old style Toyota Tacoma
