Last-gen Explorer shoppers can look for 6 or 8-cylinder power, four-wheel drive and automatic transmissions all around. The V6 was a 4.0L unit with 210 horsepower, while Ford?s 4.6L mill powered V8 Explorers with 292 ponies.
Riding an actual truck frame platform and fitted with a real four-wheel-drive system, Explorer was well equipped to deliver real-life capability. Look for feature content like Ford?s keypad system, automatic climate control, power-adjustable pedals, heated leather, a sunroof and more.
What Owners Like: Looks, a stable and comfortable ride, and an overall ?safe? feel to the last-generation Explorer were noted by many members of its owners? community. Many say the Explorer feels strong, rides well and has a fast-acting traction control system for a feel of stable performance.
What Owners Dislike: Common complaints aside from the standard SUV fuel-consumption gripes include limited at-hand storage space, and limited rear seat room.
Common Issues: On earlier models, check the transmission for smoothness while shifting between reverse and drive, and note any slipping or hesitation when accelerating from a stop. Any drivability issues related to the six-speed transmission (standard on V8-powered models) are likely computer-related and not catastrophic ? though shoppers are advised to ensure that?s the case before purchase. Your favorite Ford mechanic can help.
The five-speed automatic teamed up with the V6 engine is noted to be more problematic and less robust, making the V8 powertrain a more sensible choice. Additionally, some stalling issues were noted on the V6-powered models, reinforcing this point.
On any Explorer, check for proper air conditioning performance, and have the underside of the vehicle checked for fluid leaks, especially coolant leaks.
