1991 Ford Explorer XLT 2WD review from North America
"What a blessing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much has gone wrong that you would not expect for a daily driven truck with 210,000 miles. Original engine and transmission, neither have been rebuilt.
Alternator, AC compressor, power steering pump, replaced at 205,000 (all were still original).
Driver's side door has started to sag a little (worn bushing) so it requires quite a slam to close it. I'll fix it some day for $50.
General comments?
This car was given to us by a Pastor and his wife at our church after our previous car was totaled. It has been such a blessing and I'm so grateful to them and God for allowing us to have it. May God bless them!
I plan to drive this truck as long as it will run. It runs so well I am considering driving it from Florida to Illinois, to Ohio, then back to FL, about 2,500 miles.
