i have a 92 explorer sport 5 speed i have no idea how many miles are on it... it rolls over at 99,999. my dad bought it to scrap it but i revived it. the transmission crapped out on me and i replaced that but it is one of the funnest vehicles i have ever driven.
im about to replace the muffler and rear struts and brake lines but i saw this video and had to watch it. i sort of want to murder these people in the video but in a good way!
We had this car for 10 years...it treated us well. Too bad I have to buy Hyundai/Kia now because Ford has committed itself to becoming a "luxury" brand. Bigger, faster, and more gadgetry...and of course, more expensive. And no, I'm not interested in the stripped down, bare-bones versions of any of their offerings.
@MrCivichatchback Not really. Check out Consumer reports' article on Ford's plaguing reliability issues pertaining to their spate of new releases. Not good. And Hyundai actually ranks higher than Ford in CR's 2011 dependability study. With Kia about the same as Ford. Not sure what your definition of "better" is, but mine is clear^. I have no biases against Ford, just relaying demonstrable facts. FYI- got a 2003 Accord after my Ford, and I've now decided on the 2012 Impreza, instead of H/K.
@ericj305 Well, let me put it to you this way. If you buy and own a Hyundai, People will make fun of you. Not so much with a new mustang or F350. But this is America, buy what you want, its your right. And me making fun of you is my right...
@MrCivichatchback "...People will make fun of you?"- Ok, this made me cringe in embarrassment...for you. Seriously lame stuff. Me? I don't make fun of anyone for what they choose to drive. You see, I'm evolved, socially and intellectually. Where one goes, the other usually follows. Meanwhile, you've a long road ahead.
And cool story about "rights"...you must be a constitutional scholar...not. <That's me, making fun of you. It IS my "right", you know. Yeah, you know...
i had a 91 eddie bauer edition best suv i have ever owned it just suck ass that the cash for clunkers killed the nice clean ones that had no rust :( and had low mils to
The best US Ford model ever! Perfect combination in this Electric Red + Beige Leather interior.... I love the Eddie Bauers! Nicer and warmer to see then the Limited.
I had one exact the same like that... a electric current red Explorer Eddie Bauer. They are rare here in Europe especially the first model 91 till 94. Mine was december 94. The most i see nowadays ar ready for clunkers... i dont mind, but why do people bring there perfect Explorer for clunkers?!! I hate it!
i miss my 94 sport... i hit a highway mile marker sign and rolled it. the squareness kept me alive. and putting my hands on the roof.
and i didnt know it was suppose to have a sun shield. that wouldnt been cool. i loved that truck. 2 12" subs in the hear. my hearing has come back since. 8-)
OMG!!! this is making me laugh. I have 1991 Eddie Bauer edition. So many broken parts to it: window motors, drivers' side won't lock, transmission gets stuck in gears sometimes, but I still drive it. It's the same age as I am LOLzz!!
@xScoobyDoo82x most 1st gens have disappeared from the road since C4C. it sucks. still plenty of 2nd gens on the road though. glad that my 97 survived that BS.
@FPGT24 My mom was considering trading hers in, but she just didnt want another car payment, because right around CFC was when she had just finished paying off her Explorer.
yeah my dad had one he loved it but the power switches never worked when we drove out on the beach we always had our uncle tow us out but yes we live in suberbs and was a great car
I dont understand how people say that they have had so many problems with these vehicles.. I used two of them to death and then some at work.. as company vehicles... first was a 1991 4.0L 4x4 XL, had over 178k, needed a new water pump, company sold it off, had two 96's, both over 230k... no trans failures.. no leaks... no nothing.. just kept on going... company sold them both... many more we had with well over 200k.. still going until sold!
I think some do, but it's too bad they don't put a DVD with each vehicle. Anyone who's ever worked in a service department knows few read the owners manual!
All cars without power sunroofs are like that. You can either pop it up or take the glass of and put it in the trunk. My bro's Beretta GTZ and my buddy's Celica use the same thing
I knew that older trucks and cars were like that, but I figured the Explorer would've been power especially in an EB edition, or a crank. I have seen some old Volvos that you cranked it and it went back into the roof.
@91Taurus Ford should've just given the Explorer a power sunroof. It was a dealer installed option though. Even the limited had this kind of sunroof. I actually perfer this over a power one though. Power sunroof get electrical problems over the years. With this i can just replace the seals and go on about my business
@91Taurus: Almost. My 1989 Merkur XR4Ti didn't have a power sunroof. But it did have a little crank where the sunroof operation buttons would be. I always felt a little silly, cranking it around.
Cool, I just purchased a 1991Explorer SUV 4X4 with a V6 engine. automatic transmission. red/silver in color. its very similar to the one shown in this video. and I'm loving it.
Cool!!! I own a 92 ford explorer XLT with a 5 spd transmission with 263,500 miles on the engine and this last May the original transmission went screwy so I had it replace with a 1998 transmission.....the blower fan for the heater/ac went out too last january but then again considering it's age everything else is running A-ok. This is a pretty solid truck and seems to always start even during the coldest of winters especially where I live here in Alberta.
We have an '03 Explorer XLT. Are first Explorer was a '97 Eddie Bauer. My mom loves both of them. We gave the Eddie Bauer to my uncle. We still have the '03.
i LOVE these explorers. Too bad my dad got cut off and wrecked his 92 green eddie bauer....booo hooooooo.......otherwise he would still be driving it today....
Interesting that you say that. We have a 91 and 98 explorer. The 91 runs just as good as it did when we got it. Our 98 runs like shit and takes 25 seconds to reach 65. Our 91 only takes 15 seconds. The 91 is way more powerfull and efficient at off roading too.
I own a 1991 2 Door Eddie Bauer edition ford explorer with the 5 spd manual. I got it for $200 because it had a blown headgasket. I replaced the head gasket and had valve jobs done to all the valves, and it runs great. Everything works on it and it has 200,000 miles on it.
nice i tricked out my 2001 xls i have a cardomain page, but i also have a 2006 ss monte carlo its garaged i drive the expo non stop its got 149k miles same tranny and no problems
i have a 92 explorer sport 5 speed i have no idea how many miles are on it... it rolls over at 99,999. my dad bought it to scrap it but i revived it. the transmission crapped out on me and i replaced that but it is one of the funnest vehicles i have ever driven.
