Watch This Before You Buy A Ford Explorer Should You Buy one?

[@MegaAri90]

Saw a 00 explorer 2 months ago sitting on a local car lot for 2k...I see alot of them still on the road so I decided to do some research and I watched your vid and it convinced me to give it a chance....Its not perfect but it's been reliable so far...only things it needed was 4 new tires to replace the old ones and a alignment...it also needed the ac serviced and the rear liftgate is stuck but it's definitely got plenty life left in it...thanks for the post it was very helpful and helped me save money.

Your welcome I'm happy to say mines still running too!!

Im happy i saw this now because im about to buy my first vehicle and luckily my coworker said i can buy 1 from her, its a 95 explorer (5-speed) with a 4.0 thts got 203k miles on it, 2wd and has a brand new set of all terrains on it, im only paying $800, but ive been really hesitant up until now, but i was hesitant because as ive done research everyone else gives bad facts abt these early and late 90 model explorers, luckily i found your video tho and you gave genuine response on how you feel abt the performance of the vehicles just as long as you properly take care of it and dont be stupid, everyone ik irl constantly beats the hell out of their cars like money grows on trees n im actually tryna use mine specifically for work, home, and the store so i can saveup to get my own place, but im 100% gonna go ahead and fall through with my purchase and enjoy this vehicle as much as i can🙏💯

That sounds like a great deal and a perfect first vehicle to learn on! they great this is they are also good in snow if you have good nobbie snow tires! what we do is have snow tires for winter and summer tires for all other seasons then we just swapped them out!

Just inherited a 1998 Ford explorer 63,000 miles, but it has been garaged for 7 years. Not sure what problems to expect or if it is even worth getting on the road.

[@RevLine89]

Oh wow! Swap out the old gas, drop a new battery in, new spark plugs, she should be good to go!

As long as it's not a rust bucket and under 160k miles you should be good
