I have owned two Ford Explorers, I survived a head on accident in my first Explorer (the occupants of the other vehicle were all killed) and would strongly recomend them based on safety alone.

While we have had no major problems with our Explorer, I am too concerned about the rollover issue and will not replace this vehicle with another Explorer.

this is my first suv and i love it!!!i would like to have a new 2004 but i dont like the new front end style.as for my performance on my 98 i am in love with the power take off from dead start.the 4.0 sohc could benefit from after market acc. but that will be done later.the comfort,style and fuel economy is really good 330 miles per tank,my 99 taurus got the same mileage.the dealer i purchased from was excellant,the salesman delivered it to my home and took my trade in back to the dealer.as for handling of this suv,after you learn it's traits this pup can handle anything you give it.my suv is totally stock.

When Ford built this Explorer XLT, I think someone must of thinking of excellent. They have done a great job on this truck. I have owned other SUVs and this one has to be the best so far. The only bad thing I have had happen is now I have to buy a trailer to carry things, since that "COMPANY" has us Explorer owners as being "bad risk". My XLT has all the features of the Eddie Bauer for a few $$$$ less. Which I like.
They Can't Get This Car Right

I bought this vehicle in thinking that this could be a reliable car that would last for years. I was wrong. There is always something wrong with my Explorer from the radio to the continouous motor noise and don't forget the Firestones. On top of that they have recalled six items in my year. Ford has been making this car for several years and still can't get it right. The resale value plummets quickly thus making my car almost worthless at this time. The only Ford I will buy in the future is a 1968 Mustang.
