Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Utility, reliablity, smooth ride, smooth engine.
Cons: radio, slow, unstable at high speeds.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this truck to anyone who needs the extra space but its a bit overkill just to use it to commute to work in.
My wife bought our current 2000 Explorer brand new to replace her wrecked Corolla. Not being a big fan of trucks or SUV's, I've actually gotten quite used to it in the last few years and find it rather comfortable and good at what it was designed for. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great acceleration with the 5.0.Trouble free power-train. Tight and responsive steering.
Cons: Some shoddy interior pieces. A little rough and overly bouncy on speed bumps
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this car and its newer stalemates to anyone. Its not hard to see why its one of the most popular SUV's in the world.
Owned my Eddie Bauer Explorer since 2001 when I bought it with 19k miles on it. Since then I have had nothing significant go wrong. The drive-train, with the AWD and 5.0L V8, is plenty powerful and provides excellent acceleration off the line and during ... read more

Pros: Reliability, style, and great AC.
Cons: None.
The Bottom Line: Would recommend to everyone because it is a well built vehicle that lasts.
Well my 2000 Explorer just went over 100K and it still runs like new. All that she's needed is a water pump at 90K. That's pretty normal for the miles. Excellent reliable vehicle with great AC. Ford really knows how to build trucks. I expect to get 250K ... read more

Pros: Height of a 4WD, Can flat out haul when in decent running condition.
Cons: 2WD, Brakes, Idling
The Bottom Line: Don't buy unless you want to feature a lot of headaches.
We purchased our 2000 Explorer Sport 2WD, Manual Trans, in 2002. It seemed like a nice change from our 1995 VW Jetta. We got rid of it because the Jetta was giving us serious problems ever since we bought it. It was a certified Pre -owned vehicle at the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Just right size, overall vehicle, GENERAL tires
Cons: fuel mileage could be better
The Bottom Line: This is a great vehicle. Some people say it rides rough but it's an SUV and I think it's a perfect example of how an SUV should be built.
I bought this 2000 Explorer XLT as a replacement for my 1997 GMC Jimmy. I wanted a new Explorer but my Jimmy was a piece of junk (see review on it) and I spent a lot of money and I had to buy what I could afford.
I purchased this Explorer at ... read more

Pros: Functionality, whistles and bells
Cons: No attention to details, dealing with Ford, poor customer service, dealing with Ford
The Bottom Line: Decent car, but dealing with Ford is not worth it. Too many problems. Everybody passes responsibility on to someone else.
I own a 2000 Eddie Bauer Explorer. The car is nice, has all the whistles and bells that someone could want, and it rides decently. But within the first year of ownership, I have had numerous little problems, that have turned out to be major ... read more

Pros: Dependable, Comfortable, Luxurious

We bought our first Explorer in 1996, I have to admit I was reluctant about driving a "truck" but was soon won over. It was almost as luxurious as any car I'd owned and, boy, could I see better on the road. I really enjoyed it and it was very ... read more
