1989 Ford Bronco II XLT

Description

Introduced in 1984, the Ford Bronco II was the automaker's answer to the growing demand for compact sport utility vehicles. Built on the Ford Ranger pickup truck's platform, it offered a smaller, more maneuverable alternative to the full-size Bronco while retaining off-road capability and rugged styling. Competing with vehicles like the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and Jeep Cherokee, the Bronco II carved out a niche for drivers seeking a versatile SUV that could handle both daily driving and weekend adventures.

This 1989 Bronco II was equipped from the factory with the XLT trim package and features Deluxe-option Cabernet Red and Silver Metallic two-tone paint paired with a Medium Gray cloth interior with gradient pattern seat inserts. Presented by the seller as a largely unmodified example, equipment includes 15” 12-hole cast aluminum wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, automatic locking front hubs, and a shift-on-the-fly dual-range transfer case.

According to the included Deluxe Marti Report, this Bronco II was built in Louisville, Kentucky, and first delivered to Hubert's Ford Sales Company of Urbana, Missouri in the spring of 1989. The truck subsequently remained registered in Missouri until the Idaho-based seller's acquisition in 2025.

This 1989 Ford Bronco II XLT is now offered with original sales paperwork, owner’s manuals, a Deluxe Marti Report, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.
