| johnyrockete's Full Review: 2000 Ford Explorer 4WD |
I own the XLS 4.0L 5-speed and absolutely love it. I looked around at the other SUV's that came with a manual transmission. They are few and far between. I fell in love with my Explorer at first sight. I have added a sun-roof and Rancho RSX shocks but it remains stock. I currently have 87,000 miles and have only had to replace the ball joints, a $900 expense, but no other major repairs. I take this truck off road and generally beat on it daily. I have not had a vehicle that has ever taken my abuse and not complained like this truck. I have to say that I have found the vehicle that I will forever love and probably own. Because when I hit 200,000 miles or the engine goes, which ever comes first. I will replace the engine, transfer case, lift it and rebuild the axles. I am just so happy with this vehicle that if I wanted to let people know if they are looking for a dependable truck as well as one that is offered with a 5-speed, only til 2002 though. This is the vehicle you need.
