Hey guys i know this isn't the right forum to talk about broncos but i wanted a non bias answer for this question. I own a 95 f-150 so i guess it will work. I am looking at a trail rig for this summer. The trails are in a large wooded area with tight trails and mud holes and clearance problems. I want something cheap that i don't have to put money into except for tires. Obviously the full size is heavier duty and can take a bigger tire there fore clearance advantage and mud advantage. I am thinking bronco II though for the narrowness factor, the trails aren't steep so rolling isn't an issue really. I have heard a lot of problems with II's though, they seem really light duty? I also have ford rims and tires for the fullsize bronco off an earlier f-150 i had. Any input you guys could give me would be great. I am looking to spend about 700-800 bucks, just something fun to play with this summer. Horsepower doesn't matter either - pretty much just looking for the endurance factor of the two.

-thanks a bunch

On the 8th day the 300 six was made

 

Definitely just go with a full-size.
And in that price range......it's not like you have to worry about the body swipeing the odd tree

 

small trails- small truck = Bronco II 1986 or better
the 2.9 v6 was awsome..and perfect for the back woods.

but not for trails in the San Juans... that would be JEEP country for some serious off-road. Do the Alpine loop.

 

I'd say go with the fullsize, your old rims won't fit on to a bronco II anyways. And it's always fun to hit trees with a cheap beater trail truck

 

Full size unless you like rolling over.
