Our first Bronco

We had always admired and appreciated the last of the Big Broncos, and two weeks ago we picked up this '95 XLT.

We were lucky as we found it only minutes from our house.

We saw it in November, and had a handshake to buy it, but the seller had second thoughts, and hung onto it until two weeks ago. During that time, we scoured the 'net and didn't find anything close to us that was anywhere the condition of this one. While at the gas station today, the guy filling on the other side of the island asked, "did that just come out of the paint shop?"

Here are the attributes,

- One owner, with a binder full of records
- The carpet and seats show zero wear
- The paint shines like it just rolled off the showroom floor
- The clear coat on the wheels is spotless
- Everything works
- Top has never been removed
- Has the rear cargo shade
- Came with two promotional Bronco camping chairs

The only item I needed to attend to was changing the tires as they had aged out. I replaced those with BFG All Terrain T/A KO2

Thrilled to have this in our garage

Wow that is in excellent condition! You can tell that the previous owner loved that truck, especially if they kept the chairs and all the accessories and whatnot. It must have been garaged kept this whole time.

I can't wait until I get a place to garage mine! Especially after I just painted it. However, I need to do some wet-sanding on the paint because it's kinda orange peely, but at least its new!

Ok new here and I hope I can get some feedback. I'm looking to tow about 9k trailer about 700 miles a few times a year. 96 Bronco with a 351w thinking of swapping that out for a 93 f250's 7,5l or a 01's ,6.2l. Not so much worrying about gas mileage but would like the comfort of knowing it's handling the weight well and has that extra kick of power. Oh the bronco has a 4" lift and 35"s

That is one good looking bronco. That has always been one of my favorite colors on them too. Once you own one you will never want to get rid of it. I got rid of two wives, but my bronco isn't going anywhere lol.

Any interior pictures?

Sweet ride! Mine is just like that but with the 'Brilliant blue clearcoat metallic' on top. My paint looks good but not as good as yours. How many miles are on it? It really does look new!

That is a sweet looking Bronco! As for the miles, I'd have never guessed 130k. 30k maybe but definitely not 130k. That paint looks fresh off the showroom floor!
