1999 Ford Explorer

Pros: 4x4, price and cargo space.

Cons: craftsmanship and gas mileage.

The Bottom Line: great winter vehicle. Never let me down. No breakdowns.

Review: I bought my explorer in october of '07. I was just stationed in the north country so i needed a reliable winter vehicle for my wife and i. Decided to purchase my 1999 ford explorer sport 4.0 4x4. Except for that infamous back windshield wiper wither not ...

Pros: Nice comforts, stylish, passenger features.

Cons: Sounds like it always needs an oil change.

The Bottom Line: It is a great overall vehicle, it does everything that it is asked.

Review: I purchased my 99 Explorer in September 2001. It had just over 45000 miles on it. It came pretty well loaded for the XLT, leather seats, moonroof, rear ac/heat, cd player, digital compass. The two wheel drive has done just fine for me and my wife loves...

Pros: Spacious, lots of power, solidly built.

Cons: Gas mileage.

The Bottom Line: I love mine and I know plenty of people that love theirs. They're not the number one selling SUV every year for nothing.

Review: I bought my 1999 Explorer Limited V8 with 55,000 miles on it. It now has 68,000 miles and is as stro ...

Pros: Roomy, fun to drive, plenty of cargo space.

Cons: mileage

Pros: Lots of space and very powerful!

Cons: Not a very smooth drive.

The Bottom Line: If you need space and power and your budget is not for a Range Rover then buy a ford explorer. A decision you wont regret.

The ford explorer comes in a range of version, sports (2 doors) and the standard version with 4...

Pros: Nice vehicle, drives and handles well

Cons: Some minor problems

Review: When I decided to buy my first new car in 5 years, and only my second new car ever, I put a lot of thought into it. I had rented 4-Dr Explorers several times and had really come to like the features of them. For me personally, I didn't think I needed a...

Pros: Agile, spacious

Cons: Less cargo space in the back than the 4-door

Review: After driving a 4-door Explorer for 3 years, the Explorer Sport is definitely refreshing.

The Explorer Sport has much better handling than the 4-door, and seems to get up and go a lot faster than the 4-door. Although the cargo space in the...

Pros: Tough and reliable and safe..a work horse.

Cons: no stablelizer bar. Be careful on fast turns.

Review: I bought the 1999 Ford Explorer with a little over 25,000 miles on it. Six years later and over 200,000 miles on it..its still running as if it were new. I did stay on top of the maintenance as far as changing all the fluids and break pads. Just recently ...

Pros: hauling capacity, fun to drive

Cons: gas mileage, not great for infants to toddlers.

Review: I have had my Explorer 2 door for about two years now. I love it! My five year old has plenty of room to be comfortable in the back seat and there's alot of room for hauling things around. The only problem I have with it is that the cruise went out ...

Pros: Pricing better than Japanese. Good turning radius. Good acceleration. Decent gas mileage (20 mpg overall).

Cons: Initial Shakedown cruise needed to get small bugs out. Wheelbase is slightly narrow.

The Bottom Line: Yes, if you tire of the typical Japanese stuff. I think this is the best American midsize SUV and still is.

Review: I loved the car at purchase, the V-6 SOHC accelerated well, but it had a rough idle and slight vibration. The vibration took a few trips to the dealer before they isolated it to the exhaust pipe. The rough idle actually got better after 80K as I ...
