Used 2000 Ford Explorer Consumer Reviews
It fits in the garage
Over all, its OK. The ride is choppy and rough and it averages 18mpg even with the best riding tires I can find. I would not recommend this vehicle for long cross country drives. The spark plug wires have been replaced every 30,000 miles due to heat damage. The brakes lasted 50,000 miles, the A/C lasted to 100,000 (4 YEARS). The engine drive seal failed and now leaks oil on to the manifold, leaving a wonderful smoke trail. The radio lights fade on and off at will and the front drivers side door lock wont unlock with the remote. Most of my driving is dry smooth Arizona highways with no rattling problems and a never used AWD and tow package.
Great Car
I never owned a Ford before but I decided to give a try. I bought in 2006 with 124.000 km on it and have had no problems whatsoever. I've put around 55.000 km on it and still haven't change anything, just oil and the belt tensioner. I like the car, comfort and I wish it would be better gas saver, but it is a SUV. I am thinking about getting a newer one.

It is one of the best vehicles I have ever owned there are a lot of vehicles out but this one is the best.
Where does the gas go??
I love this truck with the exception of the gas mileage.... Sitting in traffic is a no go on gas....I think that you get about 2 miles to the gallon?? Also, the rear wiper.... Not a good feature if it does not work.
Very disappointed
Our Explorer would be fun to drive, if we could ever drive it. In the 14 months we owned the vehicle it was in the shop 13 times. Lets just say it is now someone elses problem. Also, the dealership was not helpfull an all around bad experience.
