BEST TRUCK ON THE EARTH
THIS TRUCK HAS SERVED ME WELL OVER THE LAST 73,897 MILE'S IT DOES VERY WELL OFF ROAD (IM THE GUY THAT ACTULLY USES THE 4X4) IT WILL GO ANY WHRER DO ANYTHING ITS A VERY GOOD TRUCK DOES VERY GOOD IN ALASKA WINTERS
Costly
Started off great then one by one things started to fall apart. Trans has gone out twice and that was the last straw. Brakes are costly to maintain since it is 4WD and the interior door panels are poor quality. Air and heat keep going strong. Not very economical as far as gas is concerned--never got over 14 mpg. I would never buy one new, I'd go with something else entirely.

1994 Ford Explorer
I bought this truck right after high school and it has been very reliable. The only problems i've had are the ball joints which i've done twice along with the right radius arm bushing that like to get hard,fall apart and make a really annoying squeaking noise due to it being so close to the catalytic converter. I suggest if replacing Napa makes a high heat style bushing i put 2 regular bushings in 50000 miles before finally replacing it the last time with the high heat and have not had a problem in 80000 miles since. I have had no major problems with this truck it now has 245000 and it still runs good on or off road
Fords are winners
My explorer has 135000 miles on it and never gives me any trouble. Just routine maintenance. I had a Tempo that hit over 100000 and never gave me any trouble either. I am the typical soccer mom and this totes tons of kids and equipment. Ol' Bessie has been a well loved member of our family. Has made 2 trips across the USA and back! We will keep this car till it dies!
they don't build them like this anymore
This is by fat one of the best cars made. I have beaten the junk out of this explorer and it just keeps on running. The clutch was replaced at 128000 after younger brother learned to drive on it. Every thing else in the car is still factory and working great.
