2000 Ford Explorer Sport review from North America
"Great SUV for serious sports people. Goes where most other 4x4s cannot"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission replaced (flat bed it, don't tow it, it was my fault)
4x4 went out 2 times, they cleared the code and it worked again.
Tires replaced (Firestone)
Driver seat squeaks.
Very rough riding.
Stereo speaker in rear comes on and off intermittantly.
Currently have water in the brake lights.
General comments?
Best 4x4 I've ever owned.
Sport model will kill most everything else in off road.
Looks good.
Very reliable.
Very sturdy.
So stiff, you'll want a neck brace, or sports bra.
