1993 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Not my kinda ride, but OK I guess"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water leak between firewall and drivers side valve cover area. Was told the 1993 Explorer intake manifold deserved one more bolt on the intake end where it meets head and block.
AC never worked since it was bought, was told it would cost 600.00 to upgrade it.
Chip in front window from rock on roadway.
General comments?
The SUV seems to be a nice vehicle, but would dread having to do some heavy engine work on the EFI model.
The height of the vehicle is right at the point it makes it difficult to work on. Sure wish Ford gave a little more room around the engine compartment to work on stuff too.
