Pros: Lots of cargo space Cons: Early models had wheel alignment and balancing problems
I purchased my Ford Explorer in 1991. It was probably the most rugged vehicle I may ever own. The large amount of cargo space was great and I loved being able to sit up higher in the driver's seat than most of the other cars around me. The only...

Pros: Explorer been very very good to me! Cons: I feel that I have no right to complain about anything at this point.
I had been coveting a Ford Explorer for several years before I finally found a way to get one in 95. I don't even remember why I was attracted to the Explorer, but I did check out all of the other SUV competition at that time and found that I liked the...

Pros: Looks and runs great, I might never buy anything else, ever! Cons: The cup holder is right under the shifter knob
When I first started looking for another car, I knew I wanted an SUV of some type. I do a lot of traveling on the road and I like to have room for all of my luggage, camping gear and emergency equipment as well as my passengers. This baby does it all...

Pros: Comfort Cons: Fuel Economy
When I first bought my '91 Explorer it was to haul kids to sporting events because I'm a coach. This vehicle is great for this job, however the fuel economy was not the best at approximately 16.5 mpg. So my wife and I decided it would mainly be for me...

Pros: Roomy, comfortable "truck" with little upkeep Cons: Air conditioning did not stand up
I bought this vehicle in 1992 -- it was a used 1991 Explorer with 40,000 miles on it, 4-door, automatic and was not a 4x4. At the time, I not only needed a "new" car, but needed a larger one. It fitted my criteria very well.
I love...

Pros: size, handling, durable and comfortable Cons: non to speak of
We have owned an explorer for 8 years and will buy one again. We have found it to be extremely dependable. We use it for work and pleasure. The one thing you must understand is that my husbands idea of pleasure is the out back. I do mean the out...

Pros: Power, looks, 4WD Cons: Gas efficiency, small backseat
We bought a used 1991 Ford Explorer in 1997 basically because we needed a family car with 4WD to get out and about in all the snow of Northern UT. When we first bought it, it had a few mechanical problems right away, and we were scared we'd bought a...

Pros: very reliable Cons: I don't like the radio and heating and cooling system
I have had my 1991 Ford Explorer XLT for a little over a year. I bought it with 105,000 miles on it. During this time I have driven it for over 30,000 miles. I have had it in the shop only for scheduled oil changes and tire rotations. ...

Pros: LOTS of leg room! Optional leather seats, cd player, etc., Durable! Cons: poor temperature system, not the best gas mileage
This SUV is definitely one of the best on the market. Not only is it durable, and stylish, it is practical. There is much more leg room than in most others, particularly Jeep Cherokees.
I drive a 1991 Eddie Bauer edition and I know they have...

Pros: roomy, handled decent, good towing capacity Cons: poor mechanical quality
I purchased a 1991 Ford Explorer XLT 4x4 in the spring of 1991. I trusted Ford since my 1986 Bronco II 4x4 had lasted so long. But with another kid on the way, I need 4 doors and extra interior space. Since the Explorer at that tiem was basically a...

Pros: Nice price, fun, performs and handles well, nice design Cons: Poor mechanicals, constant re-occuring problems, doesn't last
I've always liked Fords, and Explorers for that matter, but my third one put me over the edge. All three were bought used, between $9K and $12K, and all three were stock 1991 Explorers: two Eddie Bauers and my favorite of the three, a Sport. First of...

Pros: good gas mileage Cons: price
About 2 months ago or so, we got ourselves a Ford Explorer. I will never again go back to a regular car again! It's only a 1991, but I tell you, that thing has been the best vehicle we've ever owned! It's opened up a whole new world for me and my...

Pros: sits high for great visibility, comfortable ride, spacious cargo area Cons: brakes not reliable, transmission not reliable
Women, this vehicle is for you! If you like a "high ride" with great visibility, plenty of storage room, comfort and ease of ride, then this vehicle is for you. I bought my Explorer because of all the Sport Utility Vehicles that I

Pros: Good Price when Used, nice features, leather seats Cons: Shocks are very poor, leather backseats stink
A few years back, 1991 to be exact, my dad purchased a Ford Explorer used, with about 20,000 miles for 10 grand. At the time, it was a good deal, and it turned out to be a smart investment. I enjoy the features it comes with: nice stereo, leather seats...

Pros: Durable with awesome ride Cons: Expensive maintenence and parts
I have owned a '91 Explorer Sport for nine years. My driving skills are very aggressive, especially off-road. This has placed me in several awkward and embarrassing moments due to my driving. The Explorer came through everytime, and I don't even have...
