Ford Explorer UT 2002

was looking at the same model before getting the terracan spoke to a friend who is the service manger for a major ford dealership and he told me that it would be the last car in the world he would buy. they have way to many problems showed me a book of faults about 2 inches thick
so I would stay away from them

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

THERE IS NO NEED TO YELL, no worse than any other 4x4 with IFS can't argue with 340nm of torque.

340nm of torque is no good if your broken on the side of the road.you may get there quicker but in my hilux i will get there moer often
