In a world full of crossovers and almost-trucks, sometimes it's nice to hark back to a time when a 4X4 meant business. The fourth-generation Ford Bronco, which lasted from 1987 to 1991, ushered in arguably the most memorable version of this truck. This 1989 Ford Bronco XLT 4X4 wearing its believed original Smoke Metallic Gray exterior coat shows us why this truck has remained a constant in our memory banks. Inside, the striking Scarlet Red interior stands apart from many bland truck interiors of the time with correct-appearing bucket seats and center console. Power steering, power door locks, power windows, air-conditioning, and cruise control all allow this truck to be compliant and civilized if necessary.
Under the hood, we find a version of Ford's venerable 5.0-liter small-block V-8, which sports electronic fuel injection along with stock heads and cam. In stock trim, this V-8 made 188 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque, which is funneled through an AOD four-speed automatic transmission before being sent off to fifteen-inch rims shod in big 31-inch all-terrain tires. Hidden behind those big meats are a set of power disc brakes up front and power drums in the rear, ready to scrub off speed whenever called upon.
