1991 Ford Explorer EB review from North America
"Would buy another old one"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All right, here it goes. In 2002 I was out playing around, and ended up sitting chest deep in water... Had to replace the heads.
In 2005 I blew the top end at 200,000, and I had a proformance motor put in. It had a hprw of 345 and it was hot.
No issues till 2009 when the wiring caught on fire and got to the fuel line - what a mess.
General comments?
Good SUV stock for fun, but way better when you "beef it up". After the small bugs get smashed, it is one of the best cars/trucks I have owned, and if it didn't catch on fire, I'd still be driving it today. And yes I do miss it, and I am going to buy another when I find the right one.
