1994 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4X4 review from North America
"Held up very well has high miles"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The routine equipment. I have had to replace the tires, brakes, fluids, and spark plugs. A 4 wheel alignment was completed with the tires.
The foam on the driver seat compressed badly.
The engine makes a squealing noise when cold. (Sounds like bearings related to a pulley)
Hard shift into reverse when cold.
General comments?
The fuel mileage is reasonable.
No major steering, engine, or transmission word required.
Very fancy comfortable interior.
4 wheel drive: trouble free push button operation. A first for me.
Given the high miles, a economical vehicle if cared for.
