Ford Explorer...Goodbye to you our trusted friend!

Date of Review:  Dec 17, 2006
The Bottom Line: A good solid long lasting vehicle.
Review: An old and tired 1998 Ford Explorer sits in my driveway this morning. It is bright red and full of stories of all that it has been through with us. On December 23rd it will be replaced by a Saturn Vue Hybrid. My husband does not know or suspect that...

1998 Ford Convertor. Er, EXPLORER! Goodbye Imports! - FORD COMES THROUGH!

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: The FORD Explorer XLT 2WD is a very welcome replacement that is versatile enough to replace two completely different older vehicles.
Review: BULLETIN
Our Explorer was nudging 30,000 miles during a difficult month for us - a major service was needed but I was paralyzed with indecision about how the nearest FORD Dealer in Carson City NV would react. My preliminary inquiries about the...

Best SUV for Singles

Date of Review:  Nov 16, 2000
Review: I bought this vehicle first because it is a Ford, and second because I love the way it looks. It's not too big, but it's not too small. I like the rounded edges of it. It also gets better gas mileage than the larger SUVs.

The storage space...

Student Review- Explorer- Reliable, Roomy, and Powerful

Date of Review:  Mar 4, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to any single person who wants a reliable, roomy, and powerful car.
Review: I am writing this review for my twelfth grade English class and would appreciate it if someone commented on it.

I bought my 98 Explorer Sport about 6 months ago and love every aspect of it. I bought it with 55,000 miles on it and had...

Original Owner 1998 Explorer XLT

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2005
The Bottom Line: Good commuter battering ram. Reliable engine, lots of minor nuisances and not good on long trips due to seat comfort and noise. Very rough ride.
Review: General
We purchased this vehicle new in April of 1998 to be my wife's primary vehicle. We also used it to pull a boat for a couple of years. The Explorer was/is excellent for pulling a 18' Searay. The V6SOHC has lots of power and gives about...

Explorer Sport--Awesome Jr. Truck

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is the ultimate versatile small SUV w/ actually functional 4x4 and road performance.
Review: I bought my '98 2-dr in 2000 and have had it for five years now. This little SUV is roomy, versatile, reliable, and FUN! I've driven it on- and off-road, in rain, snow, ice, mud, and anything else you can think of. Never had any engine problems...

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2000
Review: Ok first off I love SUVs themselves. I bought this car because it was and still is the best looking SUV on the market. IT has wonderful sporty yet truck like styling not found in other SUVs. All other SUVs I have found are pretty much boxes with...

Worth Every Penny and More

Date of Review:  Dec 31, 2006
The Bottom Line: A great car at a great price. After owning this Explorer, I'll never make fun of Ford products again.
Review: We purchased our Ford Explorer used. It's an Eddie Bauer edition and it served us well for quite a few years. Alas, I'm faced with trading it in since our family has outgrown the vehicle. If it seated more than five at a time, I'd be keeping it...

Do not buy the Ford Explorer

Date of Review:  Jun 11, 2007
The Bottom Line: Don't buy it. The quality of the engine is poor and too many recalls.
Review: Especially do not buy a 1998 Ford Explorer without researching the problems that this SUV has had. At 60,900 miles my Explorer needs the front and rear timing chains and tensioners replaced as well as a new left cylinder head. You'll find lots of...
