My Ford Explorer was my first American auto after I sold my Range Rover. I bought this hardy lorry with 125000 miles and have only had a few minor problems that were easy fixes. Even at $40000 less than a Rover it still is a better lorry. It feels like it will never quit on me and I am putting aftermarket parts on it like it was a new auto. It looks like an expensive auto on the inside and All-American on the outside.
My ford sucks

I have had nothing but trouble with my "exploder". Thats it's new nickname. I have it in the shop again for a new transmission. Second time in 2 years. Not only have I been fixing transmissions I think every other mechanical part has been replaced as well.

My Explorer has been quite reliable, never had anything break on it. Got rid of the Firestone tires, now happily running Michelins. I used to live in Colorado, and the 4WD worked fine there, though the front wheels were skittish when making tight turns with 4WD engaged. Here in balmy Southern California, the sunroof is always open and the air conditioner works well. I'm starting to have wind noise around the driver's window. Also, the front left speaker drops out now and then when I go over a bump. Overall, it's been a great SUV, a huge improvement ofer the 86 GMC Jimmy it replaced.

132k miles and 6.5 years later. Great vehicle for us. Very low maintenance. We had two recurring trouble areas, tires and fuel cutoff switch. Vehicle came with the Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. OK tire at best. Fuel cutoff switch while nice to have inthe vehicle is not in a good spot (passenger wheel well) On three different occasions my long legged friends have accidently hit the switch and cut the fuel to the vehicle. The only negative about the vehicle is the fuel economy. But what do you expect from a V8 engine, two ton vehicle. At 132k miles, still going strong with very few signs of showing its age.
i love my explorer

i am very happy with my limited 8 cyl. explorer. the 5 liter engine is very powerful. the color is beautiful in pearl white and it also has a very nice interior. the leather is very soft, i am very proud of my explorer and i think it was a great investment
