1991 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer XLT review from North America
"There's a reason people call them"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Blown Head Gasket.
Caught on fire on freeway burned to the ground.
Electric motor for Transfer case replaced.
General comments?
The Explorer is short on power as compared to same year Blazer.
Very comfortable, with a nice ride.
The automatic hubs would sometimes stick after disengaging.
Overall, I was dissatisfied with the Ford Explorer, in terms of power and reliability.
Considering it caught on fire and burned to the ground while I was driving it, I will never purchase another Ford as long as I live.
