( it rains every day up here in Oregon for 9 months). He was so happy to get rid of it and get a Subaru Outback. Also, somehow he sold it for more than he paid. Go figure.

    The real reason Ford stopped building Ford Broncos is because people were buying them new and taking them offroad all over the US and abusing the heck out of them, more than they were designed for. Therefore the dealers are seeing this abuse and refusing to fix the mass of them coming to dealers for major repairs. They are a great offroad vehicles, but too many of them are being abused beyond their limits, as is also happening to new Jeeps. Stopping production will solve this current abuse of these vehicles, especially in the state of Utah.
