1991 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Most fun you can have, with your clothes on!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission failed at 220000kms.
Cylinder head cracked at 250000kms.
General comments?
This has been a wonderful vehicle to own and drive. I 4x4 with it all the time. I have seen more back country with my beloved X then you could imagine. After the engine failed I figured it was a good time to do something that Ford should have done from the factory with this year of Explorer, I dropped a 5.0L V8 and a custom AODW transmission into it. I will keep this truck until gas vehicles are outlawed or gas is no longer available. Oh, and that roll over thing,... What a load of hog-wash. My truck has a 5 and a half inch lift and I have never come remotely close to rolling it. EVER!!!
