1994 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"If you want a good SUV, go with Explorer XLT"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced entire AC system at 180000.
Clutch at 150000 and at 205000.
Bearings at 195000.
Radius arm bushings at 200000.
I think the Tranny needs some love, but hey... 213000 miles.
Everything else, pretty routine.
General comments?
Awesome truck!!! My Dad was original owner before me. Let air in tires down to 20psi and you couldn't have a better beach truck. I pulled Suburbans, Tahoes and even JEEPs out of the sand. Yes, I know it's hard to believe you can get a jeep stuck, but I've yanked them out too. If you show this truck just a little love, it gives a whole lot back.
