Horsepower Torque Range:
Varies by engine and year, typically ranging from ~120-190 HP and ~250-330 lb-ft torque. Manual will detail specific figures for each option.
Fuel Delivery:
Carbureted (early models) and Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) systems are covered, with detailed troubleshooting and repair procedures.
Ignition Type:
Conventional ignition systems and electronic ignition systems (TFI module etc.)
Cooling Type:
Pressurized liquid cooling system, including radiator, fan, thermostat, water pump, and heater core
Oil Capacity Spec:
Manual will specify exact oil capacities and SAE viscosity grades for different engines (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40)
Manual Transmission Options:
Likely includes transmissions like the NP435 (4-speed) and ZF S5-47 (5-speed) for manual variants.
Automatic Transmission Options:
Common automatic transmissions would be the C6 (3-speed) and AOD/AODE (4-speed) depending on the year and engine combination.
Transfer Case:
Information on manual and possibly electronic 4WD engagement systems, including the transfer case operation and repair.
Transmission Fluid Types:
Manual will specify correct fluid types (e.g., Mercon, Type F for automatics; gear oil for manuals) and capacities.
Wheelbase Range:
Significant wheelbase variations exist throughout the generation, typically around 104.7 to 133 inches, reflecting different F-350 configurations.
Overall Length Width Height:
Varies significantly by specific F-350 configuration (e.g., regular cab, crew cab, long bed). Manual will provide specific dimensions.
Curb Weight Range:
Expect a wide range depending on configuration, generally starting from approximately 5,000 lbs and going upwards significantly for heavier duty F-350 models.
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating Gvwr:
This manual is for F-350 models, implying higher GVWRs, likely in the Class 3 range (10,001-14,000 lbs), detailed within the manual.
Crash Test Data:
Limited official government crash test data for this era of heavy-duty trucks. Emphasis on structural integrity and passive safety features of the time.
Braking Systems:
Hydraulic disc front and drum rear brakes standard. Rear-wheel anti-lock (RWAL) was introduced in later years and is likely covered.
Seat Belts:
Three-point lap and shoulder belts for front occupants, lap belts for rear passengers as standard for the era.
Structural Reinforcement:
Body-on-frame construction inherently provides significant structural rigidity.

Oil Change Interval:
Typically 3,000 to 5,000 miles, or as specified by engine type and oil used. Manual will provide precise intervals.
Tire Rotation Interval:
Recommended every 5,000 to 7,500 miles for even tire wear.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Generally recommended every 30,000 to 50,000 miles for automatic transmissions, or as per the manual's severe service schedule.
Engine Oil Specification:
Various API service classifications (e.g., SF, SG) and SAE viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-30, 10W-40) depending on year and operating temperature. Specified in manual.
Coolant Specification:
Typically a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol antifreeze and distilled water. Manual will confirm specific coolant type and capacity.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 3 brake fluid is standard. Manual will specify.
Common Wear Items:
Front suspension components (ball joints, tie rod ends), exhaust system (rust), fuel pumps (EFI models), brake wear.
Electrical Gremlins:
Corrosion in wiring harnesses, particularly in older vehicles, can lead to intermittent electrical issues.
Engine Performance:
Carburetor adjustments may be needed for older engines. EFI systems might require fuel pressure checks or injector cleaning.
Ford Truck Lineage:
Continues Ford's long and storied history in producing robust and capable trucks and SUVs.
Fourth Generation Bronco:
This generation marked a significant shift, moving the Bronco onto the heavier-duty F-150/F-250/F-350 platform, offering increased towing and payload capacity, and a more truck-like driving experience.
Manufacturing Locations:
Primarily manufactured in North America, likely in Ford's truck assembly plants.
Market Segment:
Full-size, heavy-duty SUV segment, appealing to those needing utility, towing, and off-road capability.
Truck Of The Year Contributions:
While not specific to the Bronco, Ford's truck line has historically received numerous 'Truck of the Year' accolades which the Bronco benefited from as part of that lineage.
Off Road Capability:
The Bronco, especially on the F-350 platform, is highly regarded for its off-road prowess and durability, a key selling point.
