1996 Ford Explorer XLT review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Serpentine belt, anti-freeze leak, transmission line rusted out, unknown jerk. Ball joints top and bottom. 2 front wheel bearing, rear traction bar.
2 sway bar links.
General comments?
Looks great, worth nothing. The movie Money Pit is apt for this vehicle.
