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

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

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: 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

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

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

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

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

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
