Pros: dependable
Cons: sometimes hard to park
Summary: I am a proud owner of a Ford Explorer. I received this car about 3 years ago, and would not trade it for the world.

Pros: Off Road Ability, 4WD, Comfort, JBL Stereo System, Cold A/C
Cons: Dependability until higher mileage.
Summary: I have owned a 93 explorer since about 2000. Mine has always had some rust because it is from Minnesota where they use salt on the roads to clear the snow. I purchased it with 100K on the clock and now it has 150K. For the first four years it was ... read more

Pros: Comfortable. Good for around-town driving.
Cons: Unsafe at any speed. Slow. Barely adequate at anything except short trips.
Summary: Okay, I'm 19, and I've been driving this death trap for 3 years, previously it was driven by my mother, so nothing you read is because of abuse... at least not long time abuse. I have to say, anybody who says this is a good truck is so completely wrong ... read more

Pros: Comfy seats, decent sound system, reliability
Cons: Terrible fuel economy, poor handling, weak engine
Summary: My 1993 is a great vehicle. It has been very reliable, with 70,000 miles on it and only routine maintenance has needed to be done in the almost 10 years that I have had it.
Why the car is nice: I love the seats in it. They are very comfy, ... read more

Pros: Smooth ride, handles pretty decent for an SUV.
Cons: Can't change the oil filter buy yourself, or other small changes.
Summary: My dad bought a '93 Explorer because before all he had was a Mazda pickup, and it was too small and it eventually died. He wanted a full-size pickup, but we settled on an SUV. So he bought a raspberry reddish color Explorer, with leather interior and a ... read more

Pros: 4x4, lots of legroom, 165,000 miles!
Cons: Somewhat bumpy ride, lots of problems big and small
Summary: There's good news and bad news. First with the good news. I've managed to squeeze out 165,000 miles from this truck and she's still running. That's more than a lot of other people can say for their vehicles. On that point I am, indeed, satisfied. ... read more

Pros: join the SUV bandwagon! soccer moms wanted
Cons: easily out performed by a south american sloth
Summary: I bought this vehicle thinking i could take it on long trips, access remote vacationing areas, and hauling my boat. What I got was a gas guzzling snail. The Ford Explorer provides absolutely no power and is capable of nothing. While unsafe for street ... read more

Summary: We "inherited" a 1993 Ford Explorer in December of 1998. It was great until it had about 100,000 miles on it and just stopped at a red light. It would start, but when we put it in to drive, it stalled. We had it towed to a transmission ... read more
