Baz, I'll stand up for you
The Ford Explorer is the most popular "SUV" sold on the USA, now doesn't that tell you something, I even have one, a 1998 model with 5.0 V8 2WD and have close on 180,000
miles on it, haven't had any major problems with it, the driver's
seat is starting to sag a little and will probably get another one next year.
They're a great all round car but I wouldn't take it
rock hopping or extreme 4WD, I would say their 4wd ability would be similar to a Prado.
We saw a group of 4 Explorer's up the Cape last year and they had no problems either way. We did see a couple of Toyotas and Nissans broken down so from that I guess you could say the Explorer's were more reliable than them
