  • Why I Bought an Explorer Again

    Oct 29 '01
    Pros: great handling and turning radius, safety and convenience features
    Cons: gas mileage

    Summary: Last spring, I needed to trade in my rear-wheel drive 1994 Explorer Sport for a four-wheel drive or front-wheel drive vehicle since I was in the process of moving to a cold weather climate. If I’d moved to a warmer climate or remained in Virginia, I ... read more

  • Not for all families!

    Jan 08 '07
    Pros: Lots of cargo room.
    Cons: Doesn't hold up under use.

    Summary: We bought our explorer used so it has a few bugs I am more than willing to look over. We purchased the suv shortly after I became pregnant knowing we would need more room. I initially wanted it because it has four doors. I thought it would be very ... read more

  • At first I liked it

    Apr 22 '06
    Pros: off roading, lower speed handling, decent features
    Cons: snow handling, power, gas

    Summary: My model - 2000 Ford Explorer XLT - AWD, not Four Wheel Drive. Interior- Weak on luxury, technology could and should have been a bit better. But it does what it needs to do. Sound system is pretty decent for only four speakers and no amp. Easy to ... read more

    Pros: Comfort, AWD traction
    Cons: gas guzzler,reliability

    Summary: I bought a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT in August '03. The truck is absolutely beautiful. I bought it with a little over 26K on the Odo. It is loaded with options, including leather, CD, power everything, rear heat/ac/stereo controls, moonroof, running boards, ... read more

  • 2000 explorer..CRAP

    Feb 26 '04
    Pros: Awesome looks, ground clearance
    Cons: Noisy, front end & brake problems, rough ride

    Summary: I have owned 3 of these pieces of crap. You would have thought I would have learned my lesson on the first 2. First I had a 1991, Not bad but had front end and brake lining problems. Second, I owned a 95, NEVER buy a first year body or suspension change ... read more

  • Should have stuck to Toyota

    Aug 18 '03
    Pros: The best value for the money when stacked up against all other suvs
    Cons: Uncomfortable ride & numerous problems with vehicle.

    Summary: I purchased my 2000 4x4 XLT Ford Explorer because it seemed like the best value for the money; I was ... read more

  • Good overall value for a Mid-Size SUV

    Mar 27 '03
    Pros: Tight Steering. ABS brakes have a nice feel. Handles well in adverse weather.
    Cons: Too much "plastic" on XLTs... Center console, Fog light trim, dome lights.

    Summary: I enjoy my 4 door 2000 XLT with automatic 4WD. The 4.0 V6 SOHC engine seems to have the right mix between power and gas economy for my needs. I do not tow anything heavy. But judging by the high revs when accelerating uphill, I might be concerned about ... read more

  • An affordable SUV

    Feb 24 '03
    Pros: nice size-affordable-features-best in crash tests for American SUV's
    Cons: not as reliable as foreign SUV's

    Summary: I did my homework when I purchased this kind of SUV. I couldn't afford the price of the Toyota's or Nissan's which has the highest safety records of all SUV's, so I went with the next one on the safety list I could afford. The Ford Explorer fit the bill ... read more

  • Ford Explorer: our family bus

    Jun 03 '02
    Pros: Roomy, comfortable, reliable
    Cons: Interior has problems

    Summary: We bought our first Explorer, a 1991, we were admittedly naive in the SUV-buying field. It was our first SUV purchase, and we were young enough to go for the best "deal" (read: cheapest) SUV for sale. Unfortunately, the dealership we dealt with was not ... read more

  • My Second Explorer

    Feb 28 '02
    Pros: Looks good, drives well, plenty of room
    Cons: Gas, gas, gas

    Summary: It was time to get rid of my '92 Explorer. It lugged around an awful 175K miles, and the computer was going. Not bad for a 10 year old, really! I knew I didn't want a car again, driving an SUV makes me feel safer and more in control while on the road. ... read more

  • Can't live without my SUV

    Pros: Cargo space, comfort, Great visibility, Big Cup holders! Good looking & Reliable
    Cons: Poor Gas mileage, standard speaker system. V6 is doggy when passing.

  • Great Vehicle - Bad Publicity

    Feb 07 '02
    Pros: Stylin', I'm running with the big boys and loving it.
    Cons: It is not equipped for the smoker.

    Summary: I have always been a car owner until recently. I am a changed person. I am a female and of small stature. My 2000 Explorer is probably the best vehicle I have ever had. It is a V-6, 4WD, and holds to the road well in all kinds of weather conditions. ... read more

  • Exposing the Explorer

    Jan 21 '02
    Pros: Hauling capacity, rugged use, and dependable.
    Cons: GAS! and more GAS!

    Summary: We own a 2000 model year Ford Explorer XLT, 4WD with the 210 HP V6 motor. This is our second Explorer, so we know this product pretty well…. Our first Explorer was a 2WD model and served us well in the Sunshine state, but relocation to colder (and ... read more

  • My guardian angel......

    Oct 19 '01
    Pros: This is a beautifully designed vehicle.
    Cons: A minor repair becomes a nightmare.

    Summary: On June 28, 2000 I took possession of my 2000 Ford Explorer. That summer I was driving a friend's mother to the dentist on a regular basis along with the regular trafficing of children, mine and others! The standard joke was the "little men" dancing on ... read more
