2001 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"It burns tires and saves gas with good looks, I love it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It has a plastic pipe that transfers the heat from the motor, we had it replaced with a new metal one. It was a first year Sport Trac so it has it's downers.
General comments?
This is a very nice truck. Nice interior, and awesome exterior. Power is packing, but the gross vehicle weight is too much. It is top heavy like any SUV.
