1996 Ford Explorer Edie Bauer review from North America
"I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 131,040 miles the transfer case was replaced.
At 198,203 replaced all front wheel bearings and front control arms.
At 210,998 replaced the steering rack.
At 227,418 Replaced the fuel pump.
I always change the oil at 3000 miles. And change all other fluids at 50,000 miles.
Uses 1/2 qt oil between changes, and has doe that since first recieved.
I have had the drivers seat recovered.
No rattles.
General comments?
I have been taking care of it and just can't kill it.
This car has at least another 100k left in it.
The ride is a little stiff.
