I am looking at buying an older SUV (96 or older). I am leaning
towards a Bronco or Suburban. Looking for something that can carry 5
passengers, maybe haul a trailer occasionally and slight offroad. Any
advice on what years/models to look at or avoid? Thanks in advance for
any help.

well you are looking at a good move for a bronco anything in the 79 to 90
are the best thay last and run good but broncos are hard on gas if you get
one with a 351 Cleveland motor it would be werth it good luck...
