1990 Ford Explorer LX review from North America
"Pretty good truck over all we will see how it holds up in another 6 months or 30,000 km"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear tail gate latch stopped working Fixed with some wd40
Brakes not sure when they were done last, but only took 30 minutes to change.
Driver door power lock will not work for unlocking or unlocking Either does the rear door lock.
Drivers door seat belt does not always retract fully gets jammed.
The light behind the radio station display is burnt out and you cannot read it in the sun or at night.
Has the engine knock, but know a guy that has a 91 with over 400,000 km and it has the same knock.
General comments?
Has lots of get and go drives nice on the highway, and side streets a bit rough when hitting some bumps. Great seats would have like to have hard the power seat option in cloth. Don't like the leather.
Can carry lots of gear fold down rear seats are great. Would have been nicer if you could put a 4x8 sheet of plywood down flat in the back.
