| Engine: |
This Bronco has a stock 5.8 Liter (351 cubic inch) fuel injected V8. The rig gets 20 miles per gallon on the highway, running 1400 RPM at 55 miles per hour. Backroad four wheeling (mostly low-range), I average 9 miles per gallon generally. Mileage was boosted with 8 Bosch "Platinum +4" spark plugs (you'll definitely want a set of these unique plugs if performance is important to you) and a K&N air filter. The Bosch sparkers are like no other you've likely seen, and they are pricey, but they are superior to typical gap-setting plugs, plus they deliver a stronger spark.

| Drivetrain: |
The drivetrain is basically stock, except that I installed Warn locking hubs after the stock automatic hubs broke to pieces one day after about 15 minutes on some sand dunes (soon after I first got the truck). This was the first time I had tested the hubs, and I later learned that Ford recommends their automatic hubs only for light duty (you know, the kind the average SUV driver sees around town on ice). I learned the hard way, and had to be winched out of axle deep sand, driving back in only 2WD (had to keep the speed up to avoid sinking in again).
