- 1992-1995 Ford Bronco Buyer's Guide and Common Problems!
The exterior design of the 5th generation Bronco can be summed up in one word: handsome. It’s a good-looking truck, through and through. Some may even say it has a timeless design. The front end is borrowed from the then redesigned 1992 F150 pickup truck and really makes a fine statement on the Bronco. The combination of the 9 hole grille, headlights, and rounded front bumper work together to create a cohesive front-end look. The profile of the vehicle features a body line that runs from the front of the vehicle, through the door under the door handle, and ends just above the rear tail light. The integrated look of the removable fiberglass top adds character, while the front doors offer vent windows that allow fresh air to enter the cabin. The B-pillar gives way to the large windows built into the fiberglass topper. The rear end has a simplistic, yet clean design with an integrated power window in the tailgate and a Ford emblem to the right of the left tail light. The overall look is truck-like and attractive, yet the Bronco never looks overbearing.
The 5th generation Bronco had an available XLT NITE package for the 1992 model year only. This package consisted of a Raven Black exterior, black exterior trim including the bumpers, bodyside graphics with the “NITE” nomenclature, swing-away spare tire carrier with “NITE” logo on the tire cover, and forged deep-dish wheels.
For the 1995-1996 model years, the XLT Sport package gave the exterior a monochrome finish. Available in White, Red, or black the Sport featured a color-keyed grille, headlight surrounds, cab steps, and black aero mirrors.
In the early to middle 90s, trucks hadn’t yet made the push towards extreme luxury, but Ford did what they could to keep drivers and passengers happy. Designers incorporated a decent amount of creature comforts into the cabin. All models but the base Custom or XL came with cloth front buckets seat with power lumbar adjustments. XLT and Eddie Bauer featured a color-keyed two-piece headliner, a full set of instrument gauges along with a tachometer, speed control, and a tilt steering wheel.
1994 models saw the addition of a new steering wheel along with a driver’s side airbag.
The Bronco was equipped as standard with Automatic Locking Hubs. Manual Locking Hubs and the 4x4 Electron Touch Drive were optional.
Electronic Touch allowed the driver to shift on the fly from 2-wheel drive to 4-wheel drive high at normal road speeds. The lock the automatic hubs, you would stop the vehicle and shift into 4-wheel drive high. The hubs were then automatically locked as soon as you started driving forward.
The automatic hubs work similarly with either the manual shift transfer case or the Touch Drive push-button transfer case. When the transfer case is shifted into 4WD, the front driveshaft starts spinning, which then turns the front axles and engages the front hubs.
With the manual locking hubs, you would need to get out of the vehicle and turn the front selector knobs a quarter of a turn to lock the hubs into a 4-wheel drive and then push the button to engage 4-wheel-drive or pull the lever inside the cabin to a 4-wheel drive setting.
The bronco is a full-size body frame 4x4 utility truck. It features a twin traction beam front axle, 4 wheel Anti Lock disc brakes (the 1992 model had rear-wheel anti-lock only), heavy-duty gas shock absorbers, a front stabilizer bar, and a 32-gallon gas tank. The rear sported an 8.8 axle first introduced for the 1983 model year and the front used a Dana 44 TTB unit first used in 1980.
Common Problems:
TIF/PIP Modules
Water intrusion from the rear tailgate
HVAC System:
If you’re only getting air coming out of the defrost vents, it may be a vacuum problem. The HVAC system is designed to provide defrost when no vacuum is present at three air door vacuum motors. A leak in the vacuum control circuit will send all airflow to the defroster outlets.
Twin-traction beam front end:
Weak point: beam pivot bushings especially if you have a leaky oil pan. The oil can break down the bushings quickening, causing accelerated wear. An upgrade to poly bushings is available.
Worn tie-rod ends that are past their prime and cause a wondering front end and sloppy steering response. Worn tie rods also make it hard to properly align the front end.
Rust:
Rear fender lips, front fender right below the badge (if they are still there), rear tailgate, rain gutters, and B Pillar. The core support can rust badly between the frame rails and around the body mounts. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

I have a 1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer edition. It's hands down the best vehicle I've ever owned. I get compliments on it every single time I drive it.
Some of the most reliable trucks out there
Gotta love the 92-96 Ford Trucks brother (from the F-Series to the Bronco) to me they're just gorgeous looking old Fords brother.
Amen king!
I have a 1994 sport, in my opinion the best.manual hubs manual 4wd shifter. Everything else is power. The 5.8 is a great motor for this year.
Is the best of ford motors👌👏👏👏
95 Bronco love it so much love obs trucks !!!!
I love my 94 xlt bronco 🥰
Whenever I see one with the XLT trim that's all white, I always think it's OJ Simpson.
I have an XL that's all white, everybody says the same to me, for people who don't know the details, they only see a white 90s Bronco.
😢 wish I still had mine ❤❤
Me too brother, got rid of mines cuz the wife didn't want to drive it so I got a minivan instead now I wish I got rid of her... Just joking
Me encantó tu vídeo
Red xlt is my fave
Please, i need 1980-1986 or 3rd gen Ford Bronco.
Es muy buena
Between a 1994 XLT Bronco and a 1991 Land Cruiser Fj80 what would you choose and why? I currently have the bronco, but I've been given de chance to change it for the Toyota so I need a second opinion! Great video btw, i also checked your land cruiser video!
I'm 1995 bronco owner and now I tell you - take LC80 with diesel 1HDT no dout.
Take the Toyota. They are simply longer lasting, more reliable vehicles.
Broncos are cool but The Toyota Land Cruiser is the best vehiclever
The Bronco, everyday. The barbie wagon is a typically underpowered Toyota and certainly not as infallible as people would suggest. Slow, terrible ride, noisey, did I mention they're slow?
As a true Bronco fan, I would take the LC also. In addition to the Broncos I have owned over the years and my current 1977 Bronco, I also own a 2020 Landcruiser and it is by far the finest vehicle I have ever owned, hands down. Nothing better available
what would you say is the most reliable ford bronco year ?
The ones before 1996 are where it’s at. The 96 was the start of the emissions and OBD2. 95 had a really nice package. The 351 and E40D is a solid package. Has enough power to get out of the way and has good comfort options. Only complain is twin I-Beam.
Anyone know of any problems with the Windsor?
Forgetting to change the oil and that’s it 😂. It’s one of the best engines ever made.
I bought a 1973 Bronco instead.
Gnarly ASF😬
To bad The new Ford Bronco Is not A Short Wheel Base F Series Truck
If it was it'll be even bigger than the 5th gen bronco, atm the base bronco is the same size as the 5th gen
Nail on the head....if they would have made it that way with a true NA V-8 it would have been a real hit
(Ford)...F.O.R.D.. DON'T DRIVE CHEVY CUZ I CAN'T SPELL IT
I got a 1989 bronco 5.8 and it the biggest piece of shit ever I had. I have a 1996 f250 7.5 and best vehicle I ever bought even over 90s Honda japboxes. Stick to 6 digit odemeters lol you don’t how many miles those old fords have
