1992 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Great for mild terrain, bad weather conditions, and normal everyday driving, not a hard core 4x4"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front radius arm bushings.
Broken center arm rest.
Tailgate hydraulics ripped through sheet metal.
Driver door hinges wore out.
Cruise control is "iffy", sometimes works most times doesn't.
Driver seat bolster broken.
Sunroof blew away while driving down the highway at around 60mph $1200 dealer - bought at wrecking yard $200.
General comments?
This is a great truck, it's comfortable enough for a 4 or 5 hour drive with the lumbar seats. The 4.0L doesn't use too much gas if you keep your foot out of it. The weight is a little much for the drive-train and has a lack of power. Very quiet ride.
