$ 2,500
Year:
1996
The 1996 Ford Bronco holds a special place in automotive history as the final model year of the original full-size Bronco before it was replaced by the four-door Expedition. Known as the culmination of the "OBS" (Old Body Style) era, it is highly sought after by collectors and off-road enthusiasts for its classic styling and modern refinements.

Performance & Capabilities

The 1996 model offered three main engine choices, all paired with standard part-time four-wheel drive:
  • 4.9L Inline-Six: 145 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque (base engine).
  • 5.0L (302) V8: 199 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque.
  • 5.8L (351W) V8: The top-tier option, producing 205 hp and 328 lb-ft of torque.
  • Towing: When properly equipped, it can tow up to 4,000–6,600 lbs.
  • Fuel Economy: Expect heavy fuel consumption, averaging 13 MPG city / 17 MPG highway.

Trim Levels & Features

  • XL: The base utility-focused trim with vinyl or cloth seating.
  • XLT: The mid-range popular trim, often featuring power windows/locks and chrome accents.
  • Eddie Bauer: The "luxury" flagship with two-tone paint, leather captain's chairs, and an overhead console.
  • Interior Tech: The '96 featured a digital odometer, rotary climate controls, and was the first Ford to have turn signals integrated into the side mirrors.

Ownership

  • Reliability: Owners consistently rate it high (4.7/5) for durability. Common issues include rust (especially on the tailgate), faulty ignition modules, and wear on front suspension components like ball joints.
  • Removable Top: It retains the iconic fiberglass removable rear hardtop, though by 1996, the rear seatbelts were mounted to it, making removal more involved than earlier generations.
