Used 1993 Ford Bronco for sale in Bradenton

Seller description

1993 Ford Bronco †Clean White, 4WD, V8, Low-Fuss Original Why This Car Is Special The 1993 Ford Bronco represents something that has become genuinely difficult to find: a full-size, body-on-frame, two-door SUV that does real work without pretending to be a crossover. Ford built the fifth-generation Bronco from 1987 through 1996, and those final years of production are now drawing serious collector attention. The reason is straightforward †the two-door full-size SUV segment simply does not exist anymore. When Ford discontinued the Bronco after 1996 to focus on the four-door Expedition, it closed the door on a 30-year nameplate. That makes clean, honest examples like this 1993 Ford Bronco increasingly hard to source. The fifth-gen Bronco shared its platform with the F-150, which means parts availability is excellent and the mechanicals are well understood by any competent shop. It rode on a 104.7-inch wheelbase, used a solid front axle with Twin Traction Beam independent front suspension, and was built to tow, haul, and handle terrain that would stop most modern vehicles. Ford sold these in XL, XLT, Eddie Bauer, and Nite trim levels, and this example presents as a well-equipped XLT-style build based on its chrome exterior trim and cloth interior specification. What separates a 1993 Ford Bronco from the lifted, modified, cut-up versions that dominate the market today is originality. This one shows its age honestly †surface oxidation visible on undercarriage components in the lift photos †but the body is clean white, the interior is intact, and the truck reads as a genuine, unmodified survivor rather than a project that someone started and stopped. Features List - 5.0L V8 Engine with 4-Speed Automatic Transmission - Part-Time 4WD System - Chrome Front and Rear Bumpers - Chrome Wheels - Rear-Mounted Spare Tire with Ford Bronco Branded Cover - Blue Cloth Interior - Power Rear Window with Cab Switch - Trailer Hitch Receiver (Integrated into Rear Bumper) - AM/FM Radio - Manual Door Locks - Clean White Exterior Mechanical A note on the engine: the features list submitted with this vehicle references a 5.8L V8, but the confirmed specification for this truck is the 5.0L V8 †Ford's 302 cubic inch engine. In 1993, the Bronco was offered with either the 5.0L EFI V8 or the larger 5.8L EFI V8. The 5.0L was a proven, durable unit that Ford had refined over decades of F-series and Mustang production. It produced 185 horsepower and 270 lb-ft of torque in this application, more than adequate for the truck's curb weight and towing duties. It pairs here with Ford's 4-speed automatic transmission, the E4OD unit, which added overdrive for more relaxed highway cruising compared to the older 3-speed automatics found in earlier Broncos. The 4WD system on the fifth-generation Bronco is a part-time setup using a manual transfer case. It is not meant for dry pavement use in 4WD, but it is a robust, field-proven system that holds up well when maintained. The rear bumper photo taken from the lift shows surface rust on the undercarriage components †visible on the frame and exhaust †which is worth noting and worth inspecting in person. It is honest patina on a 30-year-old truck, not concealed damage, and the lift photo makes no attempt to hide it. Interior The interior of this 1993 Ford Bronco is finished in blue cloth, and the door panel photo shows the trim in good, presentable condition. The molded lower panels, carpeted inserts, and armrest all appear intact with no tearing or major wear visible. The manual door locks are straightforward and reliable †one less power system to chase down if something fails. The power rear window is a feature worth appreciating on the Bronco specifically, as it allows the glass to drop into the tailgate independently of opening the full rear door, which is useful for ventilation and for loading gear over the tailgate. The switch for that rear window is located in the cab, accessible to tFront Bumper Color - Chrome,Rear Bumper Color - Chrome,Skid Plate(S),Power Steering,Power Steering - Hydraulic,4wd Type - Part Time,Abs - 4-Wheel,Power Brakes,Clock,Radio - Am/Fm,Wheel Diameter - 15 Inch,Wheels - Steel,Front Wipers - Intermittent,Tinted Glass,Pickup Sliding Rear Window - Power Vertical,Front Seat Type - Bucket,Upholstery - Vinyl
