  • I love my Explorer!

    Mar 10 '01
    Pros: Reliable, sturdy, good-lookin' SUV
    Cons: Not so great gas mileage, not so easy to-get-into rear seats

    Summary: Okay...I have to admit...this is my first Ford. Up until 1997 when I bought my Ford Explorer Sport new, I had always been a Volkswagen girl. I LOVE the way Volkswagens handle and look...but I spent more time gettin' them repaired then driving 'em! ... read more

    Pros: Space, comfort, price
    Cons: Longevity of parts, fuel economy, price

    Summary: When I went shopping for my first SUV I wanted something attractive, not too expensive, and that roomy enough for my needs. Well, here's what I've experienced after owning my SUV for the past 5 years (I bought my /97 Explorer in Oct. 1996). ... read more

    Summary: I never thought I would buy an SUV, but when I was in the market for a car, none of the models out there appealed to me. Cars in 1997 were ugly. So, I looked into an SUV. I wanted some hauling capacity (I had always wanted a truck, but didn't ... read more

  • Not as good as it looks...

    Jul 15 '00
    Pros: drives well, good brakes, nice appearance
    Cons: lacks long run durability

    Summary: My Explorer is now three years old, and I have to say, I'm somewhat disappointed with the way it has held up. Noises and squeaks are starting to appear frequently and they're becoming harder and harder to get rid of. I haven't had to put too much money ... read more

  • Luv My Truck

    Jul 12 '00
    Pros: Handling, room on the inside, plenty of accessories to add for more beauty
    Cons: Price could be lower.

    Summary: If you like a vehicle with room, comfort, good gas mileage, easy handling, and can choose from hundreds of accessories, then the Ford Explorer is for you. I wanted a truck but didn't care to much to have the open bed in the back. I also want 4 doors ... read more
