2000 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"For Canadian winters this truck is great!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The transmission is slowly going now, when reversing it slips.
Shocks are broken.
Back door is very wobbly.
Ignition sensor blew.
General comments?
Had this truck for almost 1 Year, very happy with it. I have a green one with Grey flares, I also have a Thule pack on top and the running boards taken off.
The back windows are very cool, but when on a long trip with people in the back there is no air circulation for them when windows are open.
Any one that owns this truck, take the running boards off!
Very roomy, can put 4 hockey bags with the seats rolled down, also can sleep in truck with the seats rolled down.
When needing to change tire the rod to jack the tire down is impossible to find.
For what the truck is, it has pretty good options for you, the compass and thermometer on top, also the back air controls and the radio, a CD player and all power options although I don't quite understand the code buttons on the door.
In the manual there is nothing about how to set the code on your door, this is not needed though.
