Reliable for 8 Years and counting

Our explorer has been very reliable and provides plenty of room for our family, our dogs, supplies, four sets of golf clubs and trips to visit relatives. Only complaints are the tire wear, its a bit sluggish from stop and some minor electrical annoyances. Overall, I am pleased.

Loved my 95 Explorer so much I bought my wife a 99. They're both great, but I particularly love mine with 6 disc CD changer, premium audio, leather, sun roof, all the etras!

Watch out for the transmission

My transmission shop call the truck the "exploder." He loves them, because they bring him so much business. According to this mechanic, Ford used the Falcon transmission with the six, and a better transmission with the 8. My truck is a six. I have had one entire rebuild and a major repair for a cost of approx $3500. The transmission is going into fail safe again. Don't know how much it will cost this time. Truck has 190,000 miles. This works out to a major transmission repair every 65,000 miles. The ventilation system doesn't work properly. The truck will get stuck 4 wheel drive low. It will be a long time before I buy another Ford product.

Lots of fit and trim problems at the beginning but fixed under warrantee. Haven't done much in the last 50k miles except change the oil.

Disappointed

My husband and I bought our Explorer 18 months ago from his father, who owned it for six months and who knew the owner prior to that. The point is that we are familiar with the vehicle's history and know of no abuse. The vehicle has almost 111,000 miles on it. Today we found out the transmission has to be replaced, so we are very disappointed. We never have been overjoyed with this vehicle - the ride is very rough, the automatic climate control doesn't work well, and we can't seem to get comfortable in the seats. We're debating on unloading it and getting something else.
