This 1987 Ford Bronco II XL is a remarkably preserved first-generation compact Ford 4×4 that sold through Frankman Motor Company in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Showing 58,668 miles, this Bronco II stands out for its apparent originality, classic Deep Walnut finish, and hard-to-find factory-style presentation. As a short-wheelbase SUV derived from the Ford Ranger platform, the Bronco II helped define the compact 4×4 segment in the 1980s, offering buyers a smaller and more maneuverable alternative to full-size trucks and SUVs

  • Bronco II Background: Introduced for 1984 and built through 1990, the Ford Bronco II was developed to compete with vehicles like the Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, GMC Jimmy, and Jeep CJ-7. It took the rugged underpinnings of the Ranger pickup and adapted them into a compact two-door SUV with available four-wheel drive, giving Ford a strong entry in the growing small SUV market. 
  • Compact Ford 4×4: The Bronco II’s appeal came from its size, simplicity, and off-road-ready layout. With short overhangs, truck-based construction, and available low-range four-wheel drive, it delivered real utility in a smaller footprint than the full-size Bronco. That made it attractive to buyers who wanted trail capability and daily usability in one package. 
  • Powertrain & Running Gear: This example is equipped with the 2.9L Cologne V6, one of the best-known engines offered in later first-generation Bronco IIs. The provided specs also note a Borg-Warner 1350 transfer case with 2.48:1 low range, along with a Dana 28 front axle and Ford 7.5-inch rear axle. Together, those components reflect the straightforward, mechanical formula that made these trucks appealing to enthusiasts. 
  • XL Trim & Presentation: Although the XL was the base trim level, this Bronco II still presents with plenty of character. Finished in Deep Walnut with gold and burgundy pinstriping, it captures the earthy, period-correct look of late-1980s Ford trucks and SUVs. Inside, the Chestnut interior and cloth bucket seats reinforce the original factory style. 
Why This Bronco II?
Clean, unmodified Bronco IIs have become much harder to find, especially examples with low indicated mileage and stock-looking presentation. For collectors of 1980s SUVs, Ford enthusiasts, or buyers looking for a vintage compact 4×4 with real character, this one checked a lot of boxes.
