2000 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"It's a family vehicle with the convenience of a truck for hauling when needed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I must say there has been more pluses to my SUV than minuses. With that said, my rear windshield wiper has never worked properly. The previous owner, who originally bought the SUV, had the same problem.
I have leather interior and of course on hot days your skin sticks to the seats, making it painful at times to get up.
General comments?
My SUV is very spacious. It seats a family of 5, and 3 of the members are 6ft tall and over 200 lbs. You name the piece of furniture we have used the SUV to move it. When you fold the back seats down you have enough room to put a full size air mattress back there for the night.
Considering it's a SUV, the ride is fairly smooth and handles very well in all types of weather. I love my Explorer!
