1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer

Description

The Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer edition was the ideal way to merge loaded luxury and a cool 4x4 SUV. And this 1996 is the final year for the generation. That means the best of the evolution with a cool two-tone, a loaded A/C interior, an overdrive transmission, and a powerful fuel-injected V8.

The Bronco is an everlasting symbol of 4x4 toughness, and teaming up with the outdoor-oriented Eddie Bauer was just a natural fit. They gave this stout machine an added look of sophistication. After all, black and tan are timelessly attractive, and this one does it especially well. The black was given a respray later in life to retain a good luster, and the tan is thoughtfully chic on the rockers and beltline pinstripe. And while the hardtop still is removable for that cool convertible look, the color coordinates well with the accents, and so it looks terrific in place. It's unknown if the odometer represents the Bronco's actual mileage, but the overall appearance signals the right care and investments over the years. That's why the premium chrome bumpers shine brightly and the doors close with confidence. But more than just look great, this never loses its functional side thanks to handy features like the well-integrated side steps, full-size spare on a swing-away mount (with a brand new cover still in the box,) and the proper trailer hitch.

The interior gives you more of the premium look with nice tan leather seats with the Eddie Bauer logo stitched in the headrests. These front buckets have fold-down armrests and a cup holder center console in-between for long-haul comfort. In fact, the whole setup is made to be quite luxurious with cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, a tilt steering column, and an upgraded AM/FM stereo with USB and Bluetooth. And having the final year of this generation means the best they offered in safety, including a driver's airbag and anti-lock brakes. The rear seat has adult-sized legroom, and the cargo bay is positively massive. So this one is ideal for tailgating, too.

The 5.8-liter V8 was the optional motor, so it's always great to have the big one under the hood. It's a modern factory fuel-injection powerhouse, and that means an ideal setup for better acceleration on the streets and extra power off-road. And this versatile nature is at the heart of the Bronco's appeal. You are off-road ready with deep treads on the General Grabber tires and a proper floor shift to engage the two-speed 4x4 transfer case. And it's also everyday easy with power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed transmission with highway-ready overdrive.

This Bronco has the look of a true classic, but the features to make it strong for today. So when you can find such a well-rounded 4x4, you know you can't let it slip away. Call today!!!
