Dealer-installed options included chrome-handhold rails, inside hand rail, luggage rack for wagons, overload air springs, and even a snow plow, but no air conditioning. Many beauty products are liquids, which are major no-no’s in airplane carry-on luggage these days. Wine-country bike tours can be as short as one day or even part of a day, or they can be several days long and involve international travel smart luggage tags. Riders can check out bed and breakfast listings, computer services for bikers, tour operators, bike shops and bike parts suppliers. You may be on a wine country adventure, but you’re still riding a bike. But there are hidden costs to using an ATM, some of which you probably know about, some of which you may not be aware. A sarong. A sarong is one of the most utilitarian pieces of clothing out there. To find out what the critics thought of the 1966 Ford Bronco, keep reading on the next page. The half-ton Ford Bronco was offered in three body types — a rough and ready roadster with no top, open-sided fairings in place of doors, and fold-down windshield at $2,404; a pickup-like “sports utility” model at $2,480; and a steel-topped wagon at $2,625.
Even with only one body style left, production was a healthier 21,894 Broncos. What’s a Body to Do? But what do you do if you need one or more spares and simply lack room in the trailer or sufficient, existing tire mounts? First offered to the public in 1971, the “Baja Bronco” came with a special roll bar; heavy-duty dual shock absorbers at all four wheels; stronger rear springs; heavier rear axle; special tires mounted on chrome-plated wheels; fender flares; trailer hitch; 302-cubic-inch V-8; an orange, blue, and white paint scheme; and more. Options included a heater/defroster, 11-gallon auxiliary fuel tank, free-running front hubs, front bucket seats, rear seat for the roadster and wagon, wheel covers, horn ring, front armrests for the sports utility and wagon, padded sun visors, a herd of heavy-duty items, heavy-duty clutch, cooling package, limited-slip front and rear axles, tailgate mounted spare tire carrier, front bumper guards, chromed bumpers, front and rear power takeoffs, citizen’s band radio, snowplow, trailer hitch, winch, tachometer, and tow hooks.
The 1972 Ford Bronco gained larger brakes front and rear. Motor Trend found that in two-wheel drive, the Bronco “leaped to 30 mph in 5.5 seconds, passed 45 mph in 11.5 seconds, and hit 60 in 21.2 seconds, crossing the finish line (of the quarter-mile strip at Ford’s proving ground test track) in 21.5 seconds, with our fifth-wheel electric speedometer reading an accurate 62 mph.” Top speed was approximately 80 mph. This includes suspicious occurrences such as an unlabeled box found abandoned in the terminal or an unidentified person found roaming the tarmac. Improvements were the addition of variable-speed windshield wipers, dual master brake cylinder, self-adjusting brakes, and backup lights. Improvements for the 1976 Ford Bronco were increased front axle capacity, an optional front stabilizer bar, optional power front disc brakes, and faster-ratio power steering. Bronco instrumentation consisted of speedometer, odometer, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, ammeter, and temperature gauge. For model-year 1974 (which began under the cloud of the first OPEC oil embargo), production was 18,786. Subsequent years would see further declines. This did not phase Ford, though, considering Ak Miller and Ray Brock won the two-wheel-drive production class in an F-100 pickup.
As stylists worked on the Zephyr for Ford, Smith had other plans. Although not officially on the Stroppe team, a youth named Richard Smith drove a Bronco under the Stroppe banner. From the moment he set eyes on the full-scale study Smith knew it was what he had in mind. This is where electronic brake force distribution (EBD) comes in. In desperation you turn the steering wheel to one side to go around the stopped car, even while you’re still pressing down on the brake. From air traffic to road traffic, security is becoming a more pressing issue, and some people feel that they’re being monitored more closely than ever before. Department of Homeland Security incorporates a lobster’s reflection-based eyesight. The 1975 Ford Bronco had a revised exhaust system, stronger rear axle, and a higher ride height. In their 1966 Ford Bronco reviews, automotive magazines largely agreed that the vehicle was best suited for off-road use. Stroppe and Jones won the Mint 400 in another vehicle. Standard tires were 7.35 x 15 black sidewall tires, which were not up to even the basics of four-wheel-drive vehicle use. But if the wind becomes strong in one direction, they’ll shut down one runway and use the one that allows planes to take off into the wind.
