We purchased the 2000 Ford Explorer 4WD XLT Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) back in August of 99. We previously owned a Mustang GT, and a Camaro z28. (Yeah, Huge change) The reason we chose this SUV is because we were able to get the dealer to come off the...

Back in 1989 I burned through two Ford Escorts in a little over 2 years. The Escorts had problems that required a lot of adjustments - granted I was in my late teens/early twenties but I did take good care of them. When the 2nd died I vowed to stay away...

Cons: Fuel economy could be better

The 2000 Ford Explorer XLT is easy to like and easy to drive. This is our first SUV. After last winter's snow, we decided that a four-wheel drive would give us safer traction if we got similar snows this year. We are prepared for whatever comes.

I don't buy vehicles very often. The last new one I bought was a 1981 Bronco, which I drove for nearly twelve years, through mud and snow, on the highway, in town and out. The brakes weren't great, and the engine seals leaked oil, but those could be...
