Thank you for doing this one. I have been giving serious thought to the Bronco and the Heritage version calls to me as I remember the ones from the 60's. I haven't found the time to try and get a test drive so this at least gives me a sense of what it would be like. I like Old School. The fewer the electronic gizmos, the fewer things that can go wrong which I can't fix on my own. :-)

Best auto that I have ever owned, this has LOTS of power drives like a sports car so fun I hate when I get to my detestation I just want to keep driving. As for as mpg I am at 18.5 on 87 reg. gas this is around town I was hoping for more but with those 35" tires I guess I am lucky to get that. I get lots of compliments on this color eruption green when at gas stations or at stop lights. To me this 2dr model is the only true Bronco I had a 74 with a 302 v/8 and it drove like a stiff truck. The 4/dr. to me looks like a early 92 Ford Explorer mall crawler, true Broncos were made to be two doors. Even the 1978 OJ model were just a Ford F150 with a cover over the bed, not a true Bronco.
