1998 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"Comfy, safe, very reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After the care turned 5years old I needed a new battery 65k miles.
After having it less than a year I needed a new alternator 43k miles.
Thermostat stuck open at 50k miles.
General comments?
I love the truck, it has been driven across the Midwest and east coast. Drives from Chicago to New York, St. Louis, Iowa, Colorado easily.
