Been workin' and playin' in Ford XL trims for years. So carpet is out, vinyl flooring is in. Get the 2 seats recovered and it's a done deal. Bronco XL.
I was in Germany when I heard that AMC was done with the CJ and bringing in the Wrangler. Had to pick color and package from a brochure, then ride a train from Stuttgart to Bremerhaven. Test drove it the long way home. Kind of wish we had a train from Houston to Granger.
Some folks called the '97 thru '03 F150 "Jellybean" for the aerodynamic shape compared to the previous 150's. This is my '03, 4.2 5spd. Great truck for 17 years, I think it'll last another 17.
All of the Bronco trims get Electronic Stability Control and Electronic Traction Control as standard features (check Power & Handling Specs). I haven't wheeled my Bronco yet but I'm fairly certain I won't need a limited slip diff. ETC, ESB (Advancetrac?), Goat modes, and a crawler gear. Giddy up...
Many thanks Albert for all you do.
Just heard about the derecho last night, God Bless Iowa and all the folks affected. Gotta say ya'll are gonna be hard to beat. I'd be proud to have a Granger Bronco or two.
The Country Squire trim? Not for me but I like the enthusiasm. Ford is gonna sell herds of these. Next year you'll hear people askin' "Where are all these Broncos comin' from?" Enjoy the ride!
