Hmmmm...thinking about a change

The Jeep above I’m looking at is the base model. No power anything. Radio, 2wd, 4 hi and 4 low. Shift on the floor. That’s what I want. No gizmos at all. Im done with all the electronic crap. It even has manual windows and you have to unlock it with your key….

I can certainly understand that.

... and you have to unlock it with your key….

Key? Do they even make keys any more.......

[RanchRoper]

Yup. Might the only vehicle left.

Is the 4 hi and 4 low still a manual lever or have they gone to electric?

[RanchRoper]

Manual shift!

Would you be keeping the Bronco ? It doesn't seem like you've had it all that long.

I wish I had that on my Ranger. Haven't had a problem with it other than the automatic hubs and they went bad gradually so I had some warning and changed them before they quit working but with an electric solenoid or motor operating the transfer case it could go out suddenly when I really need 4 wheel drive.

Nope. Looking to trade while it still has good value. It’s been good but I put on 50,000 kms a year. They get old fast.

You do drive a lot. I bought my '06 Miata new and have less than 60k miles on it. Bought my '97 Ranger several years before the Miata with around 60k miles on it and still only have a little over 100k miles on it.

Bronco is a 3 cyl turbo. Concerned about the longevity of it beyond 100k.
