2000 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer review from North America
"Looks good, but outdated"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Control arm bushing squeaked due to wear.
5.0L motor was replaced due to water in the cylinder.
General comments?
This SUV gets only 15 MPG with the AWD, but it has plenty of power!
Leather seats are good for kids, and the wear is OK.
Cassette tape is fine, I put a converter for MP3, ipod. The stereo system sounds great!
Love the radio and fan/temp controls on steering wheel and sunroof.
Put a plastic mat in the back to keep out dirt.
