1985 Ford Bronco II

The 1985 Ford Bronco II is a compact SUV recognized for its rugged design and strong off-road capabilities, emerging as a popular choice during a shift towards smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicles. Two engine options are available: a 2.8L V6 producing 115 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque, and a more powerful 2.9L V6 with 140 horsepower and 170 lb-ft of torque. It offers a choice of transmissions, including a 5-speed manual—an upgrade from the previous year’s model—and a 4-speed automatic. Drive options include rear-wheel drive (RWD) and four-wheel drive (4WD). With a wheelbase of 94 inches, a length of 161.8 inches, width of 68 inches, and a height of 70.4 inches, the Bronco II weighs between 3,200 to 3,600 pounds. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 11-13 seconds, reaching a top speed of about 100 mph, making it adept for both daily driving and off-road adventures.
