I owned one for several years. The 2.8 was noisy, gas sucking and gutless. Pretty much everything related to the engine was a PITA to work on. The only way that it would ever exceed 75 mph was down hill drafting an 18 wheeler.

The 2.9 was better than the 2.8. In fact the 4.0 is the basic platform.
My runs great at 65.

I don't know the numbers. Wasn't too bad. Probably similar to a Tracker or small Blazer.
Mad machine called it: 2 door Explorer.

Buy Bronco II badges for it if you have to.

Yeah, they were as quick as the average car in those days. Probably around 10 or so seconds to 60.
