And the drive mode dials for both driver and passenger.

My mom had one of the little ones from 1984. It had the wimpy 2.8l V6 and a 5 speed manual transmission. It only lasted a few years when she traded it in for a GMC Sierra 1500 regular cab short bed 4x4 pickup.

My sister and I were stuffed into a pinto for a few months as well, along with our little beagle, Queenie. My parents traded the Pinto in for a Bronco soon after the Pinto's started exploding. The Bronco took us on many family vacations, during the 70's, camping in the U.P. and Northern...

I own two of these. A '95 and a '98. The only new pickup truck I'd consider buying would be one of either of these, maybe both.

This is such a great story and brings up some of my fondest memories. I grew up in the 70's on 36 mile Road across from the proving grounds, right across from the big white barns on the north side of the grounds. My parents had a Bronco and our neighbor, Ricky Shapman had a Chevy Blazer. Back...

Many people don't understand how CAFE regulatons effect what products auto manufacturers produce. It is currently a convoluted set of rules that favor larger vehicles. It is what led to the demise of the station wagon, short wheel base pickup trucks, and recently sedans in the North American...

Michigan is awful, please don't move here.

Very nice. Reminds me of my parents '69 arcadian blue bronco. Looking forward to seeing it wit the paint flares and top.

Interesting, I wonder if they make it up to north Michigan. Thanks for the info.

Wonder why they are in Port Huron. That area is not known much for off roading except for maybe some bombing through the farm fields. Or maybe they were on their back from wheeling in Canada.

I doubt it will be available with a 6' bed. I'm sure Ford will only offer it in the crew cab configuration with the tiny 5' bed.

Except it won't be very small. Well, I guess it will have the tiny bed.
