If you buy one, if it has a vinyl top, chew the buyer down and tell them the roof is rusted out, and if it isn't, it is going to be in another year or two.

The top one looks goofy, but the lifted red one looks just right

Ford started making them in 2000 - 2005, the Excursion! Theonly problem is they were almost all Eddie Bauer's or Limited's. Way to expensive. They should have made some XL's and XLT's and offered the 6 speed manual trans.

You sir are sadly mistaken. A four door bronco is worlds different than a excursion and they were much more expensive too. The bronco, not the excursion.

The four door bronco was available on all truck chasis options including a full one ton version which far outsold the half and 3/4 tons. The excursion was never offered on a one ton frame.

The four door bronco is a true bronco with a removable top. The excursion is some sad SUV poser minivan moms swapped to in hordes. An excursion has never had a removable top.

The four door bronco was sold at over 50,000 USD back in the late 80's to mid-90's. The most expensive excursions even ten years later only reached the upper 40's decked out.

This is just my knowledge, not trying to start anything but the comparison is like saying a blazer and a bronco are the same thing because they slightly resemble each other. It just ain't so.

(and hey the four door bronco could be fully optioned out and still be ordered with a manual transimission!)

It really depends on how do you define a true Bronco. IMHO, the 4 door version is nothing more than an F150/250/350 with a Bronco shell and some extra seats.

The excursion is some sad SUV poser minivan moms swapped to in hordes.
A friend has one, and aside from the minivan like, luxury interior, it still has a truck frame, handling, and power.

I can't say anything about the 4 door Bronco prices, the only thing I know that even regular Broncos weren't cheap. Methinks those that were 50k, should've included quite a few luxury options.

(and hey the four door bronco could be fully optioned out and still be ordered with a manual transimission!)
Yes, that's a definite plus, but mostly because it started out as an Fx50 series truck.

Those 2 extra doors grafted onto the half ton, or the bronco **** end added 20K to the price tag of the model F350 or Bronco purchase price. I think they cut corners on everything they used. The materials I noticed in mine was not OE quality. For instance: the carpets in the streched areas were severly faded, whereas the OE was not. Cheap foam was used for padding, instead of the material used throughout the truck. For crying out loud, they did not even sweep up the debris before they laid the carpet!! Cheap butt splice connectors handled the wiring duties where the cab was cut in two. Half of the stuff in the rear did not work anymore because of the water getting into the connections from the drip rails rotting out from the vinyl top. About the only thing I cannot find fault with is how the frame was streched. THey took the time to plate the inside of it to keep it from falling apart and killing somebody.

I feel they are also useless as a truck as well. I own one, and its a pain. I would rather own a shortbed crewcab, than own this one. I have to pull a trailer I made out of an old '73 I scrapped out if I want to do anything serious.

how about that with my '75 crew 4x...shortbed....wow....ideas are a fluttering. '75 shares the same basic body as the 79....hmmmm


but i gotta say that those are not bronco's....the bronco is a bronco by design...2door design..period. It kind of bstrdizes the beloved bronco label in my mind...not a purist as i own a big one (or two now) but...a bronco is a bronco.
